Halfords HID Xenon Bulb

Halfords’ HID Xenon Bulbs suffered from the same problem as their Ring rivals, with different lamps provided in identical packaging

Best price: £59.99 Beam: 230.5

Halfords’ HID Xenon Bulbs suffered from the same problem as their Ring rivals, with different lamps provided in identical packaging. Again, it was an Alite bulb in one box and a GE bulb in the other, and again we saw clear differences between them – the Alite-made version had more of a yellow hue to the beam. It failed to deliver as much light at the 75-metre mark as well, plus we encountered connection problems again. The GE version was good enough to be rated among the best of our standard HID bulbs.
