SipposBFT Member 81 Member For: 14y 8m 2d Posted 23/05/15 05:18 AM Share Posted 23/05/15 05:18 AM After buying Phillips "blue" headlight globes (both H4's & H3's) im getting annoyed @ how little time they take to fail. I definately didnt touch the glass when changing & my suspension isnt much harder than standard Ford XR. Ive noticed a post here discussing HID conversions on the FG...is there also for the BA/BF? Is there much involved in this convert & do they last longer? Absolutely hate changin globes on my BF...a pain in the U no where. Please no one dare recommend me use Narva.... they shud be called NEVER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daily driver and auto headlight setting?I read they do fail way sooner than OEM...one of the main reasons I'm hesitant to change at this stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use headlights about 4 times a week for maybe 1 hr per day all up. It's annoying they fail but farrkn heaps brighter than the normal OEM globes. They are expensive though - eBay $55 pair H4.

Lasted two years and still going strong.Cheaper too. Edited 23/05/15 11:46 PM by OZYWALKER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think a quality brand would last longer than 1 yr or approx 208hrs :/ Ozywalker is yours the actual SCA branded globes or some other brand?

My drivers side fog light did it twice on my BA within 6months of each other and when I checked the connector it was dodgy so after a clean and tightening the clips I never had a problem again...
