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!!!

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:sly 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...:nenau

the bulbs is a H3:thumb2 originally, dad put them in as i purchaged the lamps off him, think he'd of got the bulbs from a local motor factors, they are 70 watts, looking to put 100s in the new lights, also H3:naughty
