Hi,

Bought some for off road the other day from halfords.  They where in a red box with the code 472R (12v 130/90w) on the top right and H4 at the bottom right.  Hope This Helps...

From Halfords you want to get something like:

472SB

Which is the "high performance super brilliance" headlight bulb.

That\'s what I\'ve got and it\'s certainly an improvement on what I had before although I\'m not sure about Halfords claim of "50% brighter..."

I don;t really get this HID business.  I know how they work but can you fit HID bulbs instead of standard ones?
