Headlight globes - LC100

I changed to Narva +30s but the difference is not startling...

I have Narva Plus50's in a Jackaroo.

Initial reaction was "I think it's better". But couldn't really tell until I lined up next to a mate's Jackaroo and then I could see the output was indeed whiter and brighter. However, the Jack's headlights are poor anyway so it wasn't a ground breaking improvement.

Be aware that the Narva Plus 50s are actually repackaged Sylvania globes, as confirmed on the flange of the bulb. Not a problem in itself, but I wouldn't be surprised if all the above brands all come back to one or two manufacturers. I think you might find that to be the case between Narva and Philips.

One other thing is to avoid globes that give off a "blue" light, like you see on many "doof-doof" cars. Make sure they are bulbs that output a white light. I understand the blue light is technically illegal, but I may be wrong.

I just put some Narva ArticBlue in the Surf on Monday night (blew one headlight on the way to work). The surf always had very good headlights, the guy told me that "you will deffinatally notice the difference". Nup. Looks the same to me. I bought two of them so they would be the same and when I replaced the blown one, I put the headlights on in high and low beam and the old "stock" globe and the fancy pancy globe looked identical. I changed the other one anyway, but feel I have wasted $20.
