Headlamp bulb upgrade.
Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2005 2:39 pm
The headlights on my Rockster are about as much use as a candle. So rather than bolt 2 thousand after market lights on, I thought I'd try upgrading the bulbs. 
So, a set of the highly acclaimed Osram Silverstar 50% brighter bulbs was duly purchased. I've just been outside and fitted them. I can confirm that these bulbs are indeed much brighter, probably 50% brighter, funnily enough.
However, a brighter bulb in a headlight with a bad beam pattern, is just brighter in the same bad beam pattern.
Ho hum.
