LO all, I know I should probably just take them out and look :P but does anyone have written down or in their head which bulbs are in the 944 Turbo

1 - headlight bulb
2- front sidelight/position lamp buld
3- brake and rear position lamps

Anything else !

I want to get spares ready for the new season and lots of lovely trips out and also probbaly upgrade the headlights bulbs for Silver Stars as I do in my other cars.

Cheers Mas

I think that the headlights will be H4.
I'd recommend Phillips Extremes for the headlights. They are still 55/60W but quoted a 80% brighter than standard. They seem to last longer than Osram Nightbreakers which are quoted as 90% brighter too.
You may want to consider fitting a headlamp wiring harness with relays in too, just to make sure that you are getting the full 12 volts to the bulbs.

Hi,

Has anyone used the Halfords Super Brillance bulbs? I noticed they were on a BOGOF the other day in Halfords. Are they any good?
