After a couple of replacements with PIAA bulbs at £26 a time.

 

I decided to use the H3 conversion using the fuse plug holder method rather than the soldering way, which works brilliantly.

 

Now the next thing was to get brighter H3's, used the 30% brighter jobs, not too good, then I found some on Ebay.

They are super white H3 5000k 55w draw but 100w output, same technology as PIAA, but for wait for it at 0.99p/ pair + £6 shipping.

 

Arrived a couple of weeks ago ( took 10 days ) but they very good.

 

Put one in and compared it to the PIAA on other side and I would said they are brighter. Has not blown yet!

 

worth a try if you want a cheap upgrade, just look on ebay H3 bulbs!

remove the old jap spec bulb and you are left with a dangling connecting block into which you must connect your new bulb...get a 453 (halfords) bulb or the blue type/higher wattage equivilent...you will see they only come with a positive wire this pushes easily into the positive part of the dangling connector do this now... ok your 1/2 way there...so next get yourself an old household plug...remove the terminal bit in the plug...this the bit which the live wire screws into it also holds one end of the fuse holder not the pins which push into a socket in the wall...this little bit is going to become your new negative connector for your bulb...you should have a bit of a plug in your hands now with a bit for screwing in a wire and a bit which originally held one end of a fuse ...cut a short piece of wire (insulated obviously) strip both ends....screw one end into the terminal bit you got out of your old plug...then taking your new bulb push the fuse holder bit/legs directly onto the metal end of the bulb you may have to bend the legs of the fuse holder in a bit to get a tight fit take care not to touch the glass end of the bulb as your finger marks could blow your new bulb...then with the other end of the wire push into the headlamp connector with a flat blade screwdriver...tape over with insulating tape...put the bulb back in...job done

Yer...There good bulbs mate coz i got some of these from ebay for £6.99 incl del :dance:

Had mine abought month and not blown yet. :smash:

Definately brighter arnt they. :cool:

 

I did a different conversion to you... :tongue:

I screwed a home made lead onto the actual bit you put the bulb into...the bulb holder.

Used that as an earth and plugged it into the original plastic block terminal.

Permanent conversion saving having to redo the connections each time you replace the bulb. :slap:

 

This was the link when I first got them:-
