| main beam & high beam are the same thing aren't they?  If the silverstars are dipped beam, I recommend philips rallye bulbs for main beam - they're top notch! (even in a Fabia  )edit: they're also illegal too, be warned.

| IIRC you have H3 main beams in the peasant spec (non-Xenon) Fabia. Just bought some H1 Bosch 100w ones from Halfords, £5.99 each Go nicely with xenons but a bugger to fit.

| If you are going to the NAtional meet, I will "donate" you some uprated bulbs for the Octy. It only has one bulb in each side.

| How about I donate the 100w's to a needy Briskodian and mysteriously find some 130s in someone's boot? (kidding - but I love the rallye bulbs - top notch!)

| Jason, he has an Octy, different bulbs to yours. Octy fogs are the same as Furby main beams.
