I have Artic Blues in mine, and was about to get the Philips equvilent which is the Blue Vision 4000k ones.... but the dude @ autobarn said save my money and just get the NARVA artic blues because it puts out the same amount of light ie. 4000k and is also less expensive. Plus there made in germany as well.

Only cost me $26 on sale

Hi all

I have recently replaced my H1 low beam globes on my el with 100w and it's an amazing improvement.

I want to replace the H3 high beam globes with 100w also.

Before I do this I have two questions which I am hoping you guys can answer for me.

1. Will these globes damage the reflector due to excessive heat?

2. Can the alternator / fuses / wiring deal with the extra combined 180w with the high and low beams running?

Thanks in advance for any comments

Yes the reflector and lens will eventually melt and discolour with the excess heat.

The alternator should be able to handle supplying the extra power but you may find that you will melt the connector. You should also update the cct breaker too.

For your model car if it were me id stick to the 55w globes but get the +30 or +50 ones.

Good day all,

So if the Ef/El xr's run h1 and h3 for high, what would a Gli use?

Bro chucked some artic blues in before and they went bust in no time, guess that's what he got for not looking it up.

Hey guys ive got EF non XR and my headlights are really dull, i was wondering what would be good cheap-ish bright lights for it as for the headlight covers are pretty yellow would the white light look alright??

So Gli's and Xr's use the same globes, h1 and h3 for high?

Thanks.

Definately not a fun job to do if youve got larger hands. Or any hands for that matter. They are an absolute b**ch to get to. Long-nose pliers do the trick though

Xr's have the projector headlight. And there is a non hid globe that flickers. My mate brought vx aftermarket headlights , and the globes that came with them flickered yellow/ blue.

As for me I have 6000k hids in my xr6. Best light mod u could do, don't stuff around with different bulbs , if u want to see And be seen lol go hid's . A Phillips kit 6000k is only $160 . And not to hard to install yourself. Mine were already installed when I got my xr6. But I did install them a Phillips kit on my Ef but the light spread wasn't as good cos they don't have a projector lens. And I blew the ballasts cos I kept turning them on and off big no no lol

U have to let the ballasts charge up the globe before u can turn them off. And the same with turning them back on wait 10 mins. Basically turn them on leave them , turn them off leave them
