Best replacement H4 headlight bulb? (55/60W) for a 97 9
Posted by philliprs (more from philliprs) on Mon, 02 Oct 2000 14:15:19

Hi,

time to replace my headlight bulb on my 97 900 S, and I was wondering if anyone had opinions on which was the best H4 bulb to use (55/60 watt, US spec).

I have seen some of those "blue" tint lights, are they anygood? Or is just a good plain white bulb a better bet? Do the the blue bulbs look goofy (a.k.a. _ wanna be HID lights...) ?

Also, I live in boston, so I may be driving in snow, so I don't know if blue will give me more glare...

thanks,
phillip
