Bulbs

Banjo:
Need to sort out the candles on my 200tdi, which bulbs give the most improvement ?white, blue, or 100w ( illegal i know, but prob no more dazzling  than modern headlights ). I use back roads most of the time, so i'm ok on main beam with spots, the problems  when i dip.

ChrisW70:
Rewire them with relays supplied and fused straight off the battery - use the existing wiring to switch the relays.
Original set up is that feed for lights goes from battery, via fuses, directly through column stalk switch and back out to lights - explains why a lot of people have issues with the switch melting and failing.
That and a good quality set of bulbs should improve things.

Banjo:
Do you use two relays, one for both dip and one for both main .

Disco Matt:
Yep, you'll need a relay for each pair of bulbs you want to switch separately - one for dip and one for main beam therefore.

As for bulbs, mine has the ice white sort and they are worth the money. Still 55w but the white light seems a lot more useful than the yellowish glow of normal bulbs.

doda456:
Yep i agree with the above,  U added relays to mine this afternoon, It is somewhat brighter, even with stand bulbs.

Any questions just ask

Dan
