i think you can get green lights for the parkers, they have some at autobarn, about 12/13 dollars if i remember

they do both mate - although i used the smaller included globes and replaced them with the lights out of my instrument cluster to brighten things up a bit.

thnx for that mate, btw they a lot better than the stock bulbs? can u notice the difference? I got a visual impairment and driving at night can be real tough with low beam...especially when it's wet.

hey dudes, are these the globes that make your front lights eerliy blue? Or they just some standard lights with "Blue" on the casing to make them look special :p

the ones i have (see pic) are nice and bright, but not eerily blue as you put it. they make a HUGE difference over the stock globes, great for highbeam action

i think you can, however, get the next ones up which are really, really blue - think they have just come out, but they dont include the parkers like i got in mine :o

nah mate, these globes emit a whiter light thatn the standard yellow tinge. You will notice the difference while driving with low beam, but my high beam is good enough so I don't know about the H1 globes. The globes aren't really that blue and all that can be seen is a slight blue streak reflected on the inside of the h/l glass. If you can get a good look at a blue vision bulb when it's on, you'll see that the bulb glass actually glows an electric blue. It's a lot better than standard, however if you want brighter then check out the Silver Visions or the newer ones that TR-IFFIC says have just come out :?: haven't seem 'em myself.

You will notice the difference ... for about 7 months then they begin to "fade" the effect and end up looking like std globes again as mine have.

I think they were about $60 for 2 H4 globes and 2 parkers. I got mine from Autobarn.

i don't think philips blue vision is that good, a friend change into it and doesn't make much difference from std globes, i prefer the narva arctic blue looks nicer imo :D

if you really want a nice white/blue light better save up for PIAA, they're the best. saw the one with 8000k, and it's bloody fantastic..

how much are the narva one's then??

narva' is around $35 in repco iirc, then you get arctic blue parker as well for $8, the parker is not blue, but certainly brighter over the stock one, unlike the parker given philips which is totally crap...

that's a surprise, i thought given your opinion that the narva's were better, that they'd be more expensive. :)

thanks for the heads up on that one.
