According to autobulbs data, both the dipped beam bulb and the main beam bulb are H1, my local auto shop also say this, however i have read on this site that they are H3 or H3c, with a mod to the former to make it similar to the latter (I think)

 

Can someone please put me right as i need to improve the main beam output as its like driving with a candle. (i already have HID on the dipp)

Main Beam - H1

UK Dipped Beam - H3

JDM Dipped Beam - H3c

 

You need H1.

 

Tbh, Im suprised you say yours are like driving with a candle. The Stock Main beam is actualy pretty good, its only the stock Dipped beam thats not. With HID's in the dipped beam the output is fantastic, I dont even feel the need to use High beam even in the darkest country lanes. Sounds like the insides of your headlights are very dirty, which is a common issue.

Yeah, take your lights apart and give them a good cleaning, including the reverse side of the Dip Beam globe. Straight forward and FREE to do!

Thanks all, i'll give it a good clean first and see if its any better.

 

Legrath, Thanks for clearing up the bulb type as well.
