Good xenon bulbs

I’ve noticed the ML lights were not as vivid as they once were so think the bulbs have dimmed, I hear this happens with Xenons or am I having a brain fart ?

Any particularly good makes?

I used Oscar bulbs in the TT and didn’t think the difference was worth it but I’ve no experience with xenon bulbs.

I want lasers, I want to be wowed but I don’t want to spend a lot of money :lol:

Dave!

Just bung OEM-equivalant ones in Dave, Osram or Sylvania or something. You'll see a difference between old and new, they do fade over time as you thought.

I got some Osram Xenarc bulbs, mine were D1S which seem to be dearer than some others. I got them from a reputable dealer on eBay, apparently they are ripe for selling fakes but mine were good and all numbers matched on their online checker. All the personal experiences I know of have been of cheap ones being pish.

Pffft like we'd trust the opinion of a man with only a Loltus forum "basic account". What a plebian.

You pay for anything more than a basic account.

I am Scotchish.

I don't know how you live with the shame.

(by which I mean being Scotchish of course ;) )

Why is the colon incorrect? Genuinely curious.

A colon signifies a list I believe. If you were to read it out loud, all you want to do is pause, which is denoted by the comma. "Mik <pause> do the needful..."

That said I only got a B in GCSE English, so I may be wrong.
