    Narva Plus 120 headlight Globe

    Hi all.

    Has anyone tried the Plus 120 headlight globes in the disco headlights? they are ADR approved. If they work it would be a handy upgrade.

    any thoughts?

    cheers

    According to the site - Performance Globes - Products - Narva :

    Suitable for use with polycarbonate headlamps
    • No increase in power consumption or heat
    So I don't see any reason you couldn't use them in the Discovery's headlights.

    I haven't used the Plus 120, but I did fit the Plus 50 into my ex girlfriends Toyota Corolla and the difference over the standard globes was sensational. I think I will give the Plus 120 a try sometime.

    The part number for H7 ones are 48366BL ( H7 - Products - Narva ).

    Narva plus 90

    I run Narva blue plus 90 along with the Traxide heaadlight relay kit, it give a good spread on low beam and I'm very happy with the high beam.

    the only issue is that I find im changing them out due to blowing the low beam every 12 to 14 months, but i normaly drive with low beam on when off roading.

    Well your "Narva Blue" are reducing effective light output.. SO you went +90 then wiped a heap of its light output off


    And I would avoid Narva, go Osram or Phillips....

    Have nothing solid to back it up because obviously Narva arent about to say who they do business with, but when I last spoke with the Narva rep about the +120's, he mentioned that Osram and Philips make Narva's bulbs.....

    All the Narva H4 globes I've ever used (and I've used quite a few) are Osram.

    Just saying

    Totally agree on the blue tint though.

    and the + series globes are very good.
    I always use them in our Patrol as its headlights are so bad (they disperse too much) and SWMBO has ordinary night vision.

    At least I have real headlights in the 'fender so I can use higher wattage globes

    I replaced mine with Narva 120's as they were half price at autobarn.
    They were definately better, and no I'll effects that I have noticed.

    These give off a nice bright white light, with only a small section of the bulb lense blue. I am a very happy customer, as I drive to work in the dark with these bulbs and some mid range driving lights.

    If you you are serious about your headlights, consider a wiring upgrade to get the most out of the bulbs. There have been good reports with the wiring upgrade with the standard bulbs. I think traxide sells kits.

    Last night I ordered the headlight relay from Traxide - two week wait for stock though.


    Today I fitted Narva Intense H7 < Performance Globes - Products - Narva > globes to the low beam. Not sure why. I thought the colour would look cool (**** factor - but that's why I bought a D2a not a D2).
    I also fitted Narva Plus 120 globes into the highbeam.
    Turned them on this afternoon and I cannot notice a colour difference between either, they are both nice and white, but if I could go back I'd probably fit the Plus 120 into both. I'm interested to see them tonight in the dark though.

    Narva don't make their own globes. The globes I fitted today were in Narva packaging, but the actual globe says Osram on it.

    Unless things have changed in the last few years, Narva don't make anything. They are a marketing company.

    Just went out and the headlights definitely have a nice white light. It's not yellow and not blue tinged.
    I also fitted the Artic Blue parker light globes in and these are definitely whited in appearance than the park lights in the ARB Sahara bar (I'll have to change the ones in the bar to match now).
    From the left in the low beam is the Narva Intense globes, the high beam is the Narva Plus 120 and in the Zeil's is standard 100w Narva globes:





    The Zeil driving lights are wired in to automatically come on with the high beam.
    The picture makes them look more yellow than they do in person. Also I believe the Plus 120's look the brightest due to the camera's focus.
    Either way, they'll do and hopefully I'll get an additional improvement with the Traxide dual headlight relay. I've never had a complaint before about the D2a headlights, just figured if I could do better, then why not.
