Hi all,

new to fiestaSTOC, now had an ST for the best part of 2 years and just updating a few parts on it.

I've recently updated by lights to the newer facelift ones. Ive been looking for a new set of bulbs (heads, sides and fogs), however unsure on which ones to purchase that have the best "bright white" effect from them (and legal at the same time). Was looking at some Philips extreme ones a swell as Osram etc.

Opinions and advice please...

Osrams are recommended but they don't last 5 mins. We got cheap bulbs off Ebay back in October last year and they are brilliant.

  Bixenon H4 6000k, decent high output LED 501, and fogs I never use them so they are just the original bulbs.

Cant recommend these enough

also would buy from these people as you get free sidelight bulbs

thanks! st toby- are they the H7 ones?

I agree with the Philips Extreme bulbs.  I've always heard and seen how good Osram are, but I know a fair few people that have had a nightmare with them not lasting 5 minutes.  I've had my Philips bulbs in for ageeeeeeeeeeees now, and had zero problems.  Pic below.

I have the halfords extreme brilliance bulbs, they were buy one get one free when i got them not sure if they still are, i paid around 15-20 for the pair, very good over standard bulbs!

Whatever you get, H4 are what you need for the headlights, 501 for sidelights, H11 for fogs.

no scroll down the pager to the H4 ones (they are the cheapest ones as well )

I bought some new bulbs on ebay which were H4 but then realised thay H4 is 2 blade and H7 is 3 blade that fits my facelift lights. Can people correct me on this? I went for Osram H7 bulbs.

[st07]

Headlight bulbs for the facelift ST are H4, three blade.

My bad, maybe I got the numbers the wrong way round off memory!

These bulbs look great and are not blue either which is good. Can you send me a link to where i can buy them from?

Thnanks,
