Hi people i need some advice please!
I have a corsa b 98 1.4 sport. I wanted to add a bit of style to the headlights by purchasing some new bulbs. It seems every pack of bulbs i put into the headlights does not really make any difference to the style, although i see them on other cars all the time (blueish or bright white lights) and they look really nice. What is the cause of this? i was thinking maybe i need newer style head lamps but then a friend said i didn't need to, but he had no solution to the problem! any help and advice would be appreciated as im sick of shelling out on new bulbs!. Cheers.....
p.s the new bulbs i purchased are the Philips extreme power 60/55w which i was recommended to buy , also they state the bulbs are unmissable and add brilliant style???
Headlights!!

Re: Headlights!!
look into HID kits mate, most new cars come with the fitted.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts
Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

Re: Headlights!!
niether option is cheap tbh, the xenons cost about £25 per bulb i think and the HID kits are about £60-70
personally i wud save my money and get some depos or angel eyes etc.

Re: Headlights!!
yeh i just looked on ebay the kit ive looked at is £60 looks good but im not sure as its a lot of coin for it to not make a difference. I was looking at the angel eyes earlier too around £145 would these make the difference im after as they are a clearer lense or is the hid kit still required?, i had the xenon bulbs in and they were still the usual yellow colour :/

Re: Headlights!!
they wud help but its mainly the hids ur after. the problem is mot aftermarket kits are so bright n blue they are illegal for road use so just be careful
i got sum phillips xenon bulbs on mine when i had it aint it did help with the vision a lot, cud see a lot further and cud see raod signs better. HIDs are defo the way forward but cost a bomb 2 get a gd set
