To choose the right LED bulbs for your car, consider three factors: the type of fitting, the vehicle type, and the primary use. Most city cars (like the Panda) use H4 bulbs, which combine both dipped and main beam functions in one unit: there are plug versions that are easy to install.

Choose based on usage: if you drive in the city with street lighting, you can opt for mid-range products just to eliminate the yellow light of halogens, whereas if you travel a lot at night on rural roads, a product with greater power and depth is required.

Remember that LED kits can get very hot; if space behind the headlight is limited, look for models without external ballasts; ensure they are compatible with your car's CAN bus to avoid the 'bulb out' warning light on the dashboard. The bulbs should also be adjusted and angled correctly to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers, prevent shadow cones, especially in SUVs, and maximise ground projection.

How to Remove the Toll Tag Holder from the Windscreen Without Damaging the Glass

Removing stickers or tags from your car's glass without damaging the windscreen has always been a problem.

We found this product that seems suitable, specifically designed for this purpose, and it also thoroughly removes dirt, grease, oil, and antifreeze salt from plastic surfaces. You can find it on the ATG website or on Amazon.
