Hi all

Hi yes they do degrade over time and when they start to die completely they go pink, if yours are the original bulbs they are either 3200k or 4200k, you can upgrade to 5500k or 6000k with a very noticeable brighter light my preference would be 6000k as this is a sharp white light, look on a site for valley lighting, you may be well served changing the ballast units as well as they can also degrade.

    Hi Dont go there anything over 6000k is normally a blue light or higher up a purple light which wont really give you what you want and will be like a magnet for any police patrols who will then start asking awkward questions probably involving a fine at some point.

    Sorry for delay. 
     

    finally got round to fitting the new bulbs. By god what a pain the the !Removed! it was. But got them done. I defo still think my left one is duller than the right but I think this could be due to water negress. Not sure where from but it was a second hand light after a small accident so I think replacing it will be next on the list for lights. 
     

    over all very happy as both have defo improved with the brightness so thanks for the tips!
