We had to take our daughter out last night as the taxi she phoned couldn't find our house apparently  But when driving down a dark country lane the headlights seemed really poor and even Mrs P commented how bad they seemed, they were fine on full beam but dipped :no: So i know some of you have replaced yours with another brighter bulb in the past but i can't find out which ones to swap over to, so can anyone point me in the right direction as to which ones to use :TU: |

I've got them in both the high and dipped beams on mine.
( seperate headlights for dip and main on mine - don't know how it is on yours Paul )

Seem to remember the RAV4.2 uses the H4 bulb 👍🏻 Did you try the fog/driving lamps in the bumper to see if they helped ?

Going by Kev’s post above it does say laser so looks like the ones ...have a look on Amazon and EBay for better prices 👍🏻 |

OK thanks folks :TU:
Just ordered em from Amazon £4 cheaper than my link above and should be here tomorrow :yes:
Now are they easy to fit or are these the ones where you need tiny hands to get in?

No Bob as i say the full beam seemed ok but obviously had to switch that off due to oncoming traffic, just never noticed how bad the lights were on the previous Ravs we've owned but did on this Rav?? |
