    Bulbs for 850R foglights

    Which are the best/brightest bulbs available for 850R fog lights on the front?

    I'd rather have a warm white light output, to keep the traditional look, but brightness is the main objective.

    Forgotten what the thing looks like! Tuning taking a little longer than expected. Gonna be a belter when it's back though.

    I'm a big fan of NightBreaker Plus/Unlimited bulbs - great brightness and decent life too. The Plus seem to last longer mind you - never had one of those blow, but the Unlimited seem to last 18 months or so. Also heard good things about Philips x-treme but can't comment on longevity as I've no first hand experience sorry. Just avoid the Halfords Brilliance bulbs - I tried them once and they lasted 2 months and 3 months each - I complained and got a refund eventually The manager said they're made by Ring BTW - he said it like it was a good thing lol.
    Currently - '96 850R auto

    Previously - '97 S70 T5 manual, '98 V70R AWD auto, '98 V70R Auto in Nautic Blue Mica with LPG (went to Germany!), 1996 850R Auto, lots of various 940s, 960s and a crappy 850 2.0
