1) How easy is it to install these upgrade bulbs?
Very easy! All our bulbs are just straight replacements for your existing bulbs. Please refer to your owner’s manual for your particular vehicle.
2) Do I need to modify my car in any way to use these bulbs?
No. These bulbs work on the same power ratings as your existing bulbs so will require no modifications. The exception is the high wattage bulbs which may require you to upgrade the fuse to a higher rating.
3) I have plastic lenses, will the bulbs cause damage to them?
No. These bulbs have a greater light intensity not heat intensity. This gives the benefit of increased visibility and overall vision. The temperature shown on these bulbs refers to colour temperature not heat. All bulbs have UV protection for use with plastic lenses.
4) Are these replacement bulbs legal?
Yes. Xenon or other replacement bulbs found on this website are rated at the same wattage as your existing bulbs and are fully e-marked. If you use your vehicle for off road, display or racing, higher wattage bulbs are available. LED bulbs and HID conversion kits are not strictly road legal as they cannot be E-marked, this does not apply if your vehicle has LEDs or HID’s fitted as standard. Higher wattage bulbs are also not road legal. We therefore sell LED bulbs, HID kits and high wattage bulbs for off-road use only.
5) Will these bulbs fit my vehicle?
If your car, LCV or motorbike was born after 1980 it is almost certain there will be xenon replacements available. You will find the bulbs for your vehicle in our extensive database. Just click on Bulb Search.
6) How do I pay for my bulbs or accessories?
You can pay for your order online by using the “Add to Cart” buttons and following the instructions. When going through checkout you will have the option of either paying via Credit/Debit card using a secure service provider with data protection or via Paypal. You are of course welcome to pay us via bank cheque, cash or postal order.
7) What do I do if my vehicle is not on your list?
New vehicles and different models are introduced on a regular basis to the market and although we endeavour to keep up sometimes one gets through the net. If your vehicle is not listed in our database just contact us with the details and we will get back to you with the available bulbs. We will at the same time update out database accordingly.
8) Are xenon replacement bulbs the same as the ones you see in some new expensive cars with blue lights? No. These are known as HID systems. High Intensity Discharge’s light output is over 3 to 4 times greater than a halogen bulb, with less heat and power consumption. HID requires an electronic control gear and starter to momentarily apply high voltage to a capsule of inert gases (including xenon) creating an intense arc of white light. HID emits brilliant white light. A 35W HID produces a light closer to natural sunlight compared to a 55w halogen. An HID system will typically cost between $200 – $300. We do also have these available here.
