Replacement Headlight Bulbs

Anyone tried these Ring Xenon Max +100% bulbs ?

Will they be better than the Philips Extreme's ?....

2008 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Santorini Black

auto express tests said philips where best. they also said that without getting the alignment checked afterwards new bulbs could be a waste of time.

however iused the philips without getting them checked and they are a vast improvement over standard At work

Agreed, a quick way to spend £20 - £40 but a huge improvement

2010 Freelander 2 TD4_e HSE Manual Alaska White

I have them in my car. I have just gone from my old FL2 with xenons to a Halogen car. I would say they are half way between 30% brighter H7's in my SLK (with projector lights for clear beam definition) and the proper HID xenons in my old LR and my Ford Focus. Whislt the beam pattern isn't as clear as a projector type headlight, these bulbs do seem to make the light pattern more noticeable.

Definately worth it, and I found mine on Fleebay for £17 a pair postd to UK mainland.

in my old car i had Ring's 60% brighter, and you could see the difference

but test show that some 100% dont perform as well as 30%'s there was a post by somebody recently showing a comparison between xenons, halfords bulbs and i'm sure a ring bulb was on there Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I posted a comparison carried out by Which ? magazine - but these Ring +100% bulbs were not included. I've heard they give a whiter light than the Osram's or Philips bulbs......?

I've just ordered 2 sets of Ring +100% H7's (main & dipped) & 1 set of H11's (front fogs) - is this correct ?
Thank you !

I think it was one of your posts which stated the fogs were H11's ! If you are wrong, you owe me £20 !
