It's time to replace the headlight bulbs. Which bulbs are you guys using? I was thinking about the Silverstars Ultra or the Nokya. I really dont have much experience with either brand. I have used PIAA in the past on my motorcycles, and love those bulbs. I just want to try something different in the Jag.
Thansk for your advice.
Oh, by the way I could have combined my two posts, but I read somewhere that you guys are trying to bring up the post count. Here's alittle help from a Newbie.

Hi Xtype,
everybodys got their own preference, but I think we all agree that unless you got Xenons the light output is terrible ( ie- you cant see where you're goin in the dark)
I've replaced mine with sportzblue 80w/100w H1's in the dipped beam / main beam and the fogs with blue tinted PIAA 501 sidelights. The output is amazing ( if not street legal) and some say the wiring loom cant handle it and others say it can. All I know is I've come outta the dark and into the LIGHT!
I've been runnin them for two weeks now with no problems at all.
Cheers
Jim C

I must be a cheap bastard! I needed to change one of my front bulbs so I bought two $7.95 bulbs from the neighborhood parts store(not sure what brand) and I havent had a problem. Im sure its not as bright as Jim's, but maybe I need to be brought into the light...
Hey Andersen,
dunno bout you bein a cheap bastard, but if your bulbs / lights work for you mate, thats all that matters.
As I keep sayin mate, everybodys different!
Cheers
Jim C

Hey x-type 750 I have tried to use sylvania silverstars in my dims but they blew out after only minutes. I tried 4 pairs and ended up taking them back and ordering a set of xenon brand lights-they are not xenon bulbs they are just a brand called xenon. They are filled with 60% xenon gas vs. halogen. These bulbs just recently blew. The only bulb I can keep inside the car working are the stock sylvania halogen bulbs. I will eventually get a set of xenon full headlamps off of ebay sooner or later.
