Head light bulbs

Post by HMN480E »

Got a 1995 GSi in smoke grey, wanting some new headlight bulbs, maybe ones that look red, any suggestions??

I also need some fog lamp bulbs i was wondering if you could get coloured ones of them at all??

Websites or product names would be great cheers!!

This problem of the police is very easy to overcome on the island, put your foot down, because no police over here have special training or advanced liscences they tend to be pussys, Aint been caught yet lol, prob get knicked by one of them new focus ST's they seem to have on the way home now!!

E-bays the place 2 go then, get some red sidelight me thinks!

Did some one with the letter TD in their user name just call me a gangster?? (LMFAO.....you silly git)

I bet that diesel pulls you loads of chicks!do they love waiting for those glow plug warm up, my gran has a corsa td hahaha

No im no ganster, i was just inquiring about red side lights, you see my GSi is Grey and the interior has a red pattern running through it so i thought it would look quite good 2 carry the theme on.

well from the sentence you just wrote it clearly shows that the scottish education system is as bad as every thinks it is, you just mad no sence at all man, especially the "round u" part, first you buy a TD then you cant spell, whats next.......... your parents aint related r they? (only messin,you would just have a non turbo diesel if they were related, maybe 2 cousins or summit tho lol)

Ive looked at all your pictures, why did you buy a TD, You should of got a Sri 1400 ecotec in that if you were worried about insurance, even my GSi isnt that expensive im 21 and its £600 fully comp on my own policy! 2 years no claims!
Far more tunability as well, i can get mine to well over 150bhp and spend hardly anything, have a look at my carb idea a few of the rally boys over here run 1400's on R1 carbs i think, go like stink 2

8) U lie to fit in.................
130 out of a 1.5 Td is the biggest crock of crap ive ever hurd, you have about 15 stone of useless subs in the boot.
What gear box is in it then, i know mine dont really find 130 easy?
The new corsa VXR is only good for 140 and that is a 1.6 petrol turbo

How have you mechanically superchipped it?
Surely you should of done the turbo, intercooler, induction, exhaust, manifold and then done then superchipped it to set everything up.

It wont be quicker than the gsi tho, if we are batteling over what future mods will be done to the car, one of my mates is an mechanic and ive balgged him to build me a custom inlet to marry some R1 carbs on, 150bhp strait away...... then cam, already got a de cat magnex, just need the 421 its going to be a flying machine, thats why they dont used TD's in the rally.......... the x16xe was designed by lotus and it is designed to run a lot more than 106bhp, the only reason it is that power is because vauxhall resricted the inlet on the 1600 because it is such a good engine they thought it would effect 1800 and 2litre sales.
