Better bulb?

Post by AlanS »

Both my 06 xc70 and 13 s60 need low beam bulbs. Is there really a ‘better’ bulb? I would love a brighter bulb for both .

are they halogen or HID? not sure what the state laws are where you are, just be careful of brighter bulbs and blue looking bulbs.

Agreed, for halogen, consider Osram Nightbreaker Laser Unlimited or Philips Xtremevision.
