bulb sets

[1966kph]

hello everyone,sods law,had a headlight blow on my passat last weekend,went and got a replacement for £5 from my local spare parts shop then a few days later was in aldi and there were complete car bulb sets for £4.99 which includes two headlight bulbs in each set,i thought this very cheap so bought a couple as their always handy to have,all have a good day......

I initially read that as "was in AUDI" and thought "OEM bulb set for £5 - I'll go and get 5!"

there's a reason those snide bulb kits are only £5 a piece.....

i didt know lidl did buib kits? i know they do wipers, the rain last longer then them blades did!

The kits from Halfords are pretty good i think, i got one for my Golf, the bulb it didt come with was fog lights but only about £10, cant argue really

hello chaps,Eshrules they might not or rather won't be top quality but i had a set the same brand a few years back and if my memory serves me correctly i am still running a passat 115 tdi sport with the same bulbs in it so they can't be that bad,E6m6a6 their at ALDI not Lidl, i don't think its much of a gamble to spend £5 on a set of bulbs,all have a good evening.....

I'm all for bargains, I was just offering my opinion - I bought a set, from Aldi as memory serves correctly, for around the same price - for the Golf (before I knew better).

The headlight bulb didn't function from the moment I fitted it and the spare sidelight bulb had poor output when compared to the other side.

They're 'ok' for an emergency standby I suppose, but you can't beat some decent quality headlight bulbs, imho.

I buy Aldi stuff and mostly good value but you need to watch the Quality and when it comes to auto bulbs which can be a pain to replace you dont want second rate.Still £5 is tempting
