I originally had Ring 8" on my T2 (that's them on my avatar pic) but thought they looked disproportionate (and they weren't very bright) so I changed them for a pair of Hella 6" fitted with Nightbreaker bulbs - they are BRIGHT!!!

So what are you saying...
6" is better than 8" then...

It's what you do with it that counts...





ie change the bulbs...

Yes well, these lights were pissed up regarding the wiring, it was positive earth and 24v. So, I'm changing it all to 12v negative earth, like it should be, bulbs don't match, ones 70w and the other is 100w, but I'll probably fit 100w nightbreakers also LEDs for the angel eyes

Nightbreakers are great as that's what I'm running on the Hyundai's 4" driving lamps. Think they are 4" anyway

What size bulbs are they, eg H3, H7, won't be H4's though?

Can you get night breakers in high wattages, ie 70 or 100 W

They are available by other suppliers but not night breakers, I don't think so...
