Finally! But some questions... was created by Ozie24
Hi everyone,
finally got my Jimny (Jamaica) jb74 after about a year of waiting. It is the GL AT model. Not really sure how that model corresponds to the UK variants... 
It came fitted with halogen headlamps, as well as halogen fogs. 
I know I cannot simply replace the bulbs with Led variants, but could I get upgraded "halogen" bulbs to give me brighter lights and closer to a white colour temp? 
I checked OSRAMs website, and saw some options listed. But to be honest I'm not really understanding. 

Looking forward to posting some photos of my Jimny and its mods. I've owned a few vehicles, but my Blue Jimny (kids can't decide if to call it Sonic or JimnySmurf) has fully captured my heart.

Thanks for any and all help!

You have all of the luck, a lovely island, fantastic weather and you can still buy a Jimny with four seats! It must be a little corner of paradise. Great colour as well, if I fly over can I take it back in the plane as hand luggage?

By the way my first drive in a Jimny was on holiday in St Lucia, I guess that is why 10 years later I bought one.

I have Osram Night Breakers in my Gen 3, I think there was a big improvement, mind I thought that the stock lights were fine for the speed of the vehicle, but the Osrams are better again. I did see a Jimny with LED headlight bulbs, they made my Osrams look yellow, but they aren't legal yet here as after market fitments, just from new.

Just find which bulbs are already fitted and there should be a replacement.

Thanks so much for the comments! Yes, I do feel quite blessed and lucky for what you have mentioned. I grew up driving in a jimny with friends picking mangoes lol. I will see what other info I can find out about the nightbreakers. Thank you again.

Welcome to the forum. Another vote for the nightbreaker. Great things on a quiet back road night drive.

Hello an welcome to the forum.
