Improving halogen headlamps
Did these get through an MOT? I was led to believe they will change the beam pattern as the centre of the light source differs from a standard filament light. What make did you get and how long did they last.vester86 wrote:i replaced my halogens with some LED bulbs in the same housing. more light output but no hassle with the ballast you normally get with a Xenon lamp. very happy with the results.

Well I've now driven at night with these Ring Xenon130 bulbs are they are great. Its all a massive improvement and no further upgrading needed. I'm more than happy. So if anyone wants a quick fix for improving the halogen lights, try these bulbs.
