Well there's been enough instances where we've discussed the topic of cars in the general social thread so why not have one dedicated to it.
If you've just got a new car, shopping for a new one, broke you current one, dreaming about that exotic sports car, into tuning, want to bitch about n00bs on the road and so on and so forth.

Today I went out and bough some 4000k Philips headlamp bulbs because I wanted that cleaner looking light. I went into Autobarn and grabbed a set of H4's which I assumed that were the correct size because that's what was in my last Commodore, but when we got back and my mate and I started fitting them it turns out Holden has now decided to go to the H11 sized bulb. So I had to do a mad dash back to the shop and do an exchange. Well they are fitted now and I like the look so I'll be going back to get another set of these bulbs for the fog lights.

Finally!

So the bulbs are totally win? I've been thinking of upping mine too. I'm tempted to try the Xenons but apparently its bad in a car that doesn't have auto dipping which mine probably doesn't....

They look a lot better than standard bulbs, I need to do some night driving to see the difference when compared to the HID kit I had in my last car.

Was nice and dark this morning so I got to see the new bulbs in action, and they cut through the darkness much better than a standard bulb. The ones I got were called 4000K Philips Blue, after work I'm going to grab some of the same kind of bulb for the spot lights.

Yeah they're normally driven by women who should be in a Yaris or a Jazz. The ones that can't even park their car which is the size of a poodle! And then they go and get a car thats actually dangerous if it hits you!

A common problem in my area is that people like to show off their status by buying a ridiculously oversize vehicle. And like Skart mention they don't know how to drive them safely.

Correction, women should not be allowed to drive
