Lynsey Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Hey I've just bought some new headlight bulbs for the loop :thumbs: :thumbs: I expect you've heard of them but they're the new "Blue Vision" bulbs by Philips and they have a similar effect as the GTI Xenon lights style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> And just so's you guys know....Alan VW and Blue Loop both copied the genius idea from a girl style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Next step spoiler, then bumpers then maybe tuning..... :sigh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slyclone Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 I had the Philips White Vision in my Golf they were Very bright! I havn't seen the blue vision yet. For my Lupo I bought some bulbs off EBay, funky blue jobbies, they were only £4.99 for the two bulbs, they look like Xenon lights! They are cool they are not too bright. I dont know if they are road leagle or not I have passed the fuzz a few times with them on and they have'nt pulled me...yet! Next up is gonna be some silver vision indicator bulbs, the fronts look like fried eggs at the moment with the orange bulbs, I dont know if any of you have seen these bulbs? They are silver but flash orange!! yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexfernihough Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 i changed my sidelight bulbs on the lupo to piaa Led ones it makes a huge difference in looks!the standard bulbs make a yellow ish light which means u have a bright white main bulb and two little yellow bulbs which look crap with the led ones they look just like the main bulb.think thye're about £20 a pair tho.
