alby 0 Posted December 15, 2004 so what do you get on a h100vw loom for 50 quid? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted December 15, 2004 2 relays, 2 fuses, quality connectors, the correct grade cables which are the correct lengths and nicely heat-shrink wrapped and all nicely colour coded to make sense too... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alby 0 Posted December 15, 2004 so is it one relay for main beam and one relay for dipped beam? or is it one relay for left and one for right dipped beam only? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted December 15, 2004 standard bulbs will be fine once you've got the loom in.... 8) Yup, standard bulbs will look a lot better, but with an uprated loom you can also put uprated bulbs in to make your headlights even brighter. Osram SilverStars from http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk are highly recommended Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 15, 2004 Osram don't do a Silverstar for the H3s though for some reason, so a Phillips Vision+ will do instead :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ford 0 Posted December 15, 2004 Yep, I have gone down this road, H100VW loom + Osram silver stars as recommended by the guys above and the difference is amazing, proper white light and MUCH improved visability!! Also got me some new headlamps to fit this weekend which set me back several gold teeth, but should make the front end very clean and fresh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted December 15, 2004 Osram don't do a Silverstar for the H3s though for some reason, so a Phillips Vision+ will do instead :lol: Do they make a big difference to the main beams then? I may have to aquire some... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 15, 2004 Yeah they seem to. Both lamps now produce a nice white light instead of that yellowy tinge from standard bulbs (with loom). Still, no matter what bulbs you've got, not much light gets past filthy headlamp lenses..... just aswell you have washers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My main beams are pretty white as it is, so I'll just wait til the bulbs go before splashing out another £20 for up-rated bulbs. And yeah, the headlight washers make a big difference in crappy weather, you can actually see the lights getting brighter again when you wash them. Makes you rocket through screenwash tho.

kebabman 0 Posted December 15, 2004 We have headlight washers!? :oops: I fitted H100VW's loom and it is very good, one comment I would make is that I didn't like using spade connectors to connect headlights, was worried they would fall out and the lights would go out at just the wrong time :roll: Anyway sorted it with two new original clip in connectors, some cutters, solder and some insulating tape, so they're clipped in now. You might want to make this modification to the uprated loom before fitting it if like me you are paranoid ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted December 16, 2004 Headlight washers was an option, so some C's have them, but not many, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
