Better headlight bulb.

The bulb fitted to my NVT 600 k is pretty poor, can anyone recommend a better one that won't blow any of the electrics...thanks Pete.

The problem is probably the wiring rather than the bulb, could you make a sub loom with a relay to give a full 12v at the bulb rather than whatever 20+year old wire can deliver?
failing that aldi winter bulbs are quite good, hid kit will work(though not liked by some) but you may need to put a conventinal bulb back in for the mot(5 min job) or my current(see what i did there?) look up h4 cree led bulbs(ebay etc) very bright , plug and play and hardly any current draw

I wouldn’t know what bulbs to recommend nowdays. I’m still using the old Osram ‘Silver Star’ which are no longer sold anymore. But it should be OK to use H4 car bulbs. I’ve always used H4 car bulbs in the past and never had any problems. The Osram 'Cool Blue Intense' (H4) looks like a good bet with 20 percent more light and only £19 for a two bulbs and free postage.....The reviews are pretty good as well (see below).

Whoops....

Just discovered that Osram still sell the 'Silver Star' H4 bulbs which I can definitely recommend and they're
only 14.95 for two, plus free delivery:
