Hi Any information on changing the headlight bulbs? Im looking for a set of blue coloured bulbs, nothing fancy or stupidly bright but just standard blue bulbs that would fit my car and are road legal! Cheers Jason |

Unless on an emergency vehicle, blue lights are illegal....period The bluey white headlights, that I think you are talking about, look nice but are not very good as your only dipped beam. My advice?. Don't bother! If you must, then Halfords....keep your receipt so you can take them back, after you discover how poor they are. |

Have a look here: http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/H4-High-Performance-and-Rally-Bulbs/ The Blue tint ones are a little more powerfull than the p155 poor ring (55/60w) ones I got from halfords so they should be OK. (for off road use only ) I run Standard white H4 bulbs that are 80/100w, but only when I am driving at night on my own land . Edited by Rich27, Wed Mar 31, 2010 9:05 pm.

In my humble opinion, the illumination is pale, and 'thin' ...you'll be seen okay, but you won't see very much. I have tried (at considerable expense I might add) all of these 'faddy' bulbs at one time or another...the worst been the yellow/white bulbs....boy, were they cr-p? Honestly, don't waste your money, my friend. ............but that is only one voice among many. |

youl have a hard time finding a legal set to fit teh 190 m8 although the projector headlights (although fugly) will do the job and im sure they can be modded to look somewhat decent |
