Hello
I have done some searches on this
forum on this topic, however have not found anything specific to the LC100. It appears in their ininite wisdom, the cruiser uses HB3 and HB4 globes in the headlights. These types appear to be less common than other "H" types. As a result, the range of replacement globes is limted.
From my research I have found that only the following globes could be used as replacements without upgrading the loom:
1. Phillips BlueVision
2. Phillip CrystalVision
3. Phillips DiamondVision
4. Narva Plus30
5. Narva ArticBlue
6. Hella CoolBlue.
I also believe that IPF make some HIR replacement globes of the 100 series.
My question is, has anyone tried any of these globes in their 100 series ? If so, was it worthwhile ?
Thanks

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.
