Headlight Bulb Type - H4 ?

[mmatthej1 1]

I see that Eurocarparts have a half-price offer on Osram Nightbreaker bulbs @ £17.49/par today, however, I am not sure what the bulb fitting type is for the 205 - can anyone advise, please?

H4 for the headlights

I've used these bulbs and my experience is they are not such an improvement over an OE bulb as they'd have you believe.

 

The only way to really improve your lighting through the bulb itself is to fit higher wattage bulbs and make sure your reflectors are in good condition.

I run 130/90's and the difference is night and day, but you'll need to set the alignment up correctly so not to blind folk. Yes, H4 is the fitment type.

Thanks for speedy responses!

 

'In light of' (pun intended) the lukewarm review from Drivers, I may not bother after all - no point in chucking money out there, if benefit is marginal !

I found nightbreakers to be a decent upgrade, i had higher wattage rally bulbs in my 306 previously and never found them to be much different but then that is a different car altogether so maybe is not relevant. As Mac says though, having decent reflectors is a must, along with decent earths.
