Hi,

I recently changed my headlights from the standard dull lights to LEDS but as I tried it out at night they seem worse! So can anyone recommend me some halogen H7 bright lights to make it more visible at night.

I’ve had good experiences with Osram Nightbreakers in the past, as an OEM replacement.

You might also want to consider polishing your NC’s headlight lenses. In your second photo they look pretty cloudy. This makes a substantial difference to light output, once they’re restored back.

Cheers,
Steve

Not getting into the realms of MOT etc etc.
Yep, tried that too and rubbish.
Got Phillips White Vision Ultra H7’s in mine. :+1:

NC1 is significantly easier for the dips than the awkward fiddle required on my NC3.75. I fitted the usual Nightbreakers on the NC1, but thought I’d try these HB3/9005 high beam and H7 Low beam far eastern types on the NC3.75, as shown below. I may yet go for the Nightbreakers instead.

Fitted these to my 3.75 and they’ve definitely offered an improvement.
