Finally pulled the trigger on these bulbs which are well rated and reviewed.

It's currently $299~ after 20% discount at Powerbulbs. So saving a further 20%~ on top by purchasing through Amazon.

It's going on a Golf MK7 for reference, but is a common Low Beam bulb for a lot of Euros.

  Just for off road use right ?

    The CBB (Cool Blue Boost) is for "off road" from what I've read. So "not legal" because of the colour temperature. Rest of the bulbs listed seem okay.

    High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lights
    HID lights produce more light to the amount of power they consume than other light types. The ADRs specify minimum design and performance standards in HID lights for road vehicles.

    ADRs mandate specific performance and orientation requirements for such lamp assemblies due, in part, to the higher light intensity/output and the potential for these types of lamps to severely dazzle oncoming road users. Simply retro-fitting original or aftermarket conversions of HID lamps and/or lamp assemblies to the dipped beam (low beam) circuit of a vehicle does not guarantee that they will comply with the specific set of ADR performance requirements applicable to the vehicle which may make them non-compliant for road use.

    HID lights producing more than 2000 lumens (a measure of light) may be fitted to dipped beam (low beam) lights on road vehicles. However, the vehicle’s lights must also align to ADR13, have headlamp cleaning devices (washer jets or wiper) and have self-levelling systems to prevent the brighter lights being projected into oncoming vehicles. The road rules prohibits against dazzling another road user with bright vehicle lights.

    Higher powered lights with a higher end white colour, such as Phillips Crystal Vision 4300K (Kelvin) are not allowed for road use. Commercially available high performance light products ensure that lighting kits, packages and globes are marked ‘not for road use’, however some products available online have no warnings or consumer information notices.

    Inspectors and Examiners do not need to record a vehicle with HID headlamps as a modified vehicle. However, the vehicle must meet the full requirements of ADR13 by ensuring vehicles are fitted with a self levelling device and a cleaning device. The ACT Light Vehicle Inspection Manual (LVIM) Rule 106.05 Reason for Rejections has been amended to align with this bulletin.

    ~~~~~~~

    Having read that I am not sure how any HID can be legal as all of them that I know off are over 4300k light temperature. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      I thought hids only legal in cars that come out with it, as they have auto leveling not to blind drivers.

      Hate when I see people with hids on cars that don't come out with it, the bumps in the road always project the light in my face blinding me.

    Certain BMW, Toyota, Lexus, Mercedes Benz, Audi, etc.

    Usually found on the higher end vehicles, or higher spec/trim levels.

  It is the headlight reflector type that causes the blinding of the light beam to oncoming traffic (Yes i'm talking about all the 4WD nuts that put these in 20 year old Patrol's and Landcruiser's). They should only be used in projector type headlights, not reflector type.
