Hi Guys
I have been trying to find the rating of bulbs in my GTI, VW email support is dreadfull and told me my high beam were 55V but could not provide a wattage......
Anyhow as far as i can see, please correct me if i am wrong as i am not sure on the parker.
High Beam is 12v 55W H1
Low Beam is 12v 55W H7
Fog Lights is 12v 55W HB4
Parker is 12v 5W W

ive found that the ones i bought from autobarn (some generic ones) arent bright enough. either that or the gap between the two bulbs on the number plate is too big. do you guys have a darkness in the middle between the bulbs?

^well my friend, he has a shop on ebay... getting new stock this week & i've ordered a set of white LEDs for myself... I can ask him for more if you guys want more...
his website ebay link:
www.bl-led.com.au
all of his stuff are in australia, so no need to wait 2wks for the item.

yeah i just bought those generic ones from autobarn (3A RACING or somethin)
they do kinda leave a gap, but checked last night and they looked fine to me. I think the incandescent globes will be more a diffuse light and LED is quite sharp.

I want to replace the crappy stock parkers with LEDS because they look so dull.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
KTHXBYE

Hey T Go - I've used the Philips website too...and like you, i have found that our fog lights are H3. I totally trust Philips on this and purchased mine on www.powerbulbs.com but once i wanted to replace the fog i was bothered....
See below the stock bulb of my fog light in my hand and the Philips H3 :
So i think the good ones are HB4 like torn said in the first post above.
Here is a link of all the bulbs in pic, check the HB4 that seems to be the most resembling, isn't it ?
Cheers,

Hi, this is a confirmation post as to a cheap but pretty effective solution for 2007 Polo 9N:
Low Beam are H7,
Hi Beam H1:
We just bought Philips Blue Vision for both -it also includes the parkers in the Blue Vision Kit.
Blue Vision is one of the cheapest kits ( $59 H1 & $69 H7 from Autobahn ) retail but you still get a MAJOR improvement in the lighting. Its now white light no yellow tinge at all. I was driving in front of him in the rain friday and the standard Lo Beam globes look crap!
According to the guy in Autobahn Blue vision are the brightest legal and work well in fog whereas Crystal and Diamond visions don't work so well.
My 18 year old son is very happy and i was happy to save the $$$.
You could probably get them cheaper online but we're into instant gratification.
had a passat tdi. now mb c class.

Great thread of globes. Where would I be able to source these globes? Would Autobarn sell these Phillips Blue Vision LED's?
