I blew one of my white/blueish globes in my driving lights not sure what brand they are as they came with the car.

and they arn't the standard ones.

so I need to get a new set.

anyone know of a good brand to go with (phillips) or a model number.

any info would be awsome.

also any good places to get them from?

Um im not sure what that other poster is on about but philips look pretty white to me.

Im using Raybrig's but theyre a little hard to get over here. Phillips are just as good and you get them from Autobarn. They are the blue tinted glass to achieve the white look and are overpriced but thats what you get i guess.

My brother has Philips Diamondvisions on his Lancer and they are pure white. They are expensive but he bought them when Autobarn had their occasional 20% off sale.

As for Raybrigs, a SAU sponsor sells them:

They are cheaper than the high end Philips bulbs.

i run Narva +50%'s, and they're excellent, and bloody good prices too

I agree with Azzura, the Plus 50 variety, particularly for high-beam and driving light applications are the way to go.

You will need to know your bulb type.

Great visibility, pretty good quality. Definately better than the Philips/Narva crap out there.

Unless MTEC bulbs bear an E mark, hence ADR compatibility with 51, I'd not touch them, if they do,- then fine.

I'm think polarg now....i was in the market for phillips diamond vision but they are quite blue and are meant to hinder your vision at night.

They are not blue at all.

Pure white.

Which Raybrig globes do you use?? I'm currently using Philips Vision Plus. They improved vision greatly but aren't nice and white like I wanted. I was wondering how the Raybrig's compare brightness wise to standard globes? Better or worse?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
