Globes for 2001 Bora 4-MO

[maxrob200]

Hi All
These questions have probably been answered somewhere in the forum. The low beam and high beam on my 2001 Bora 4-Mo are decidedly wimpy. What type of globes (H4 /H7) are used for the headlights and what brighter globes are recommended using the standard wattage. Thanks

H4 for the headlights on a 4mo. there is a thread here on what other guys are using, cant remember if its in the elecrics section or the MK4 sorry

There are plenty of options out there. There are recent theads on this too.
Just know that many of the bulbs available in stores do not meet the Australian standards and are deemed illegal in some states.
If must say ADR 55 or ECE R37 on the pack to be compliant.

Go to Car Bulbs, Headlight Bulbs, Xenon Bulbs from Philips and Osram, Philips Xtreme Power, Osram NightBreaker globes - Powerbulbs., put in the details of your car, they have all the bulbs listed, and even shipped from the UK their stuff's cheaper than locally available.

I'm running the Philips Xtreme Power headlight bulbs, they're excellent.

The Xtreme looks good and very well priced

So do I need two sets of H4 or is low and high beam on the same globe

Looking at ONE headlight housing.
to replace everything you need:
1x H4 (covers low and high beam)
1x H3 (covers your built in fog)
1x 5W5 (think thats there name, to cover parker)
1x indicator globe (not sure what that is sorry)

So then obviously x2 to cover your second headlight.

So to answer your question. 1 H4 globe covers your high and low beam, buy 2 (1 pair) to do both headlights.

Golfs are different as they have one globe of low beam, and a separate one for highbeam (H3 and H7 off the top of my head)

Dylan's right, you need a single H4 for each side, an H3 for the foglight, W5W for the parker/city light, indicators are PY21W IIRC.

PowerBulbs gives away a free set of Philips W5Ws with every purchase over a certain amount anyway. I got all the bulbs for my front lights from them, including delivery, for less than the local cost of the Xtreme Power bulbs (I'm wary of eBay, always wonder if you're getting real Philips or ripoff Phillips...).
