Thread: Narva 50 plus h4 replacement headlight bulbs?

I got some a few months back.
I replaced a set of "superwhite HID lookalike" good for nothing blue painted globes (they came with the new lenses).
Prior to that, I had the sealed beams.

I'd say they are NOT 50% brighter, but the blurb on the packet says "50% more light, 20 metres longer beam".
Don't know if I'd agree with that, but they are better than what I had.

$20 a pair is a good price, so go for it.

Hasn't this one been around the block and back (after nightfall )

Hi charliebrisbane, I had a problem with the Rangy continually blowing the standard H7 globes so I tried a set of the Narva 50+ and found absolutely no advantage from them over the standard globes.

It wasn't till I fitted Philips Crystal Vision globes that I got brighter headlights.

Just my experience with them, cheers.

I went to super Crap and they had some that claimed the same but it was a brand that I didn't recognise. (Calibro or something). They were 30 bucks or something like that. I will get some of the Narva's tommorrow and let you know what they are like unless someone here says for sure that they are crap.

I had these in our Toyota Camry and it made it's pathetic headlights only marginal

As above, with our VW Golf. They are useless.

Trev.

I put the Narva +50 in the Disco some time back and really noticed a difference, brighter light and better coverage on low beam. High beam was ok but not much difference. I did read somewhere that the +50 rating was only for low beam.

as an aside...

You can get more than 50%+ by cleaning the lens and having good wiring.

- advice from an autoelec friend.

It's amazing how many people have powerful globes and spotties, but filthy lenses.

Cheers guys, I have heard that osram siverstars are pretty good from the range rover forum does anyone know where to get em? Or where to get the philips jobbies?
