For my dipped headlights I went for 20twenty 150% vision purely for the 1 year warranty compared to 6 month warranty that phillips and osram give.

I didn't think of the warranty. I chose the Philips over the Osram Nightbreakers I was considering mainly because of the 450h expected lifespan vs 250h. Anyway, I'm sure they'll be better than the candles in there at the moment!

I ran a set of Philips xtreme racing vision in my last car for over 18 months without any failures, so I am sure longevity will not be an issue for you.

I recently purchased a set of these to use as my main beam
20210424_073906.jpg In my rush to order I missed the fact that they are 100w and for off road road use only due to the light output.

Gave the car a wash this morning using Powermaxed shampoo and then I applied a coat of Poorboys White Diamond polish. Unfortunately, I was not able to apply a layer of wax or take any few photos due to the Thunderstorm and rain that started just I finished applying the polish

Fitted a new battery as the old one was starting to lose a few Volts here and there.
I fitted a Varta Silver edition battery which has the same spec as the Volvo battery but cost me £77 instead of £132 for the Volvo one. Ordered and collected the battery from these guys as they are not too far away from me https://www.tayna.co.uk/battery-char...RoCtpcQAvD_BwE

Who says that a T5 cannot be economical....completed a 110-mile round trip yesterday from Wrexham to Llandudno to get my covid jab and the V50 averaged 40.9 mpg over the complete trip according to the trip computer. This mpg was achieved by sticking between 60 and 65 mph whilst on the A55.
quite economical but very boring
