I read that Paul had put these in his new S. I've always found the MINI non-Xenon (i.e standard Halogen lamps) dipped beam very poor so would like to try these.

Anyone know the best/cheapest place to buy these?

TIA,
KenL

Try powerbulbs.com (or co.uk). They often have deals on.

Ken I had these in my last car they improved the beam but one of them went the other day so it only lasted about a year???

Just letting you know

Are those the groovy white sidelights Max? It's the 55W headlamps I'm after for my dipped beam.

I did a bit web searching at lunchtime and it seems there is a bit price fixing going on as everywhere has them at the same price.

So, I think I'll just get them from PowerBulbs unless anyone knows where to get them cheaper than £26 a pair.

I got my bulbs all from www.powerbulbs.com

Ahem just to let you know, to get a 10% discount say you heard about powerbulbs from Zetecs.com! This is one of my friends suppliers.

You have to email them once you ordered however (as they have an integrated WorldPay payment solution) and they refund you the 10% still, every penny saved...

I've just ordered these h7' bulbs as well as silver vision indicators as well

Oh just one last thing, the bulbs for the sidelights what size are these? as i'd like to get some whiter ones.

What bulbs did you replace Paul? You've got xenons right?

Was it just full beam? My understanding is that these are normal lamps.

Just the high beams yes.

AidenL · Sep 7th, 2003, 01:33 PM

And its the H7s that fit the MINI?

Is there a model number for the sidelight bulbs,in particular for the MINI?

KenL · Sep 7th, 2003, 04:02 PM

I've not bought them yet but powerbulbs.com are doing a free pair of sidelights with every pair of headlamps bought at the mo.

As Dabe says don't forget to ask for a discount from Powerbulbs.com (order over the phone) I ordered a pair of side lights for a different car, got 10% discount and a pair of side lights free that fit the Mini. For information, I quoted the 'UK TT Forum' for the discount.
