Lightbulb New upgraded headlamp bulbs for GP

The headlamps in the Mini GP are known to be poor - now we have a new solution
We now have a new Osram headlamp bulb in stock - Nightbreaker. These are a step up from the popular Osram silverstars & are up to 90% brighter & 10% whiter than normal bulbs yet remain legal.
These will fit both the dip & main beam positions so with 2 sets you can fully improve your night vision.
We are also offering a free set of powerbulb sidelight bubs with all orders for these
Nightbreaker bulbs for GP NewMINIStuff.com
While there check out the rest of our GP section including kits to light up your arch reflectors - NewMINIStuff.com
