FAQs
Q :
Only one headlight is faulty , should I change them both ?
A :
Bulbs should be replaced in pairs . If a bulb has failed and it is one of a pair of lights eg , headlamps or brake lights , replacing both will give consistent light output between the corresponding lamp units . It will also save you maintenance time . If one bulb has failed , it is likely that the bulb in the other unit will fail shortly .

THE RIGHT AUTOBULB FOR THE JOB
Everyone drives their vehicle in their own way with no two vehicles the same , so it makes sense to pick the right bulb for the job .
For the high mileage or professional driver , who requires fewer bulb replacements , the Ring Long Life range offers the ideal solution with bulbs lasting typically up to three times that of a standard bulb , at a competitive price .
Vehicles that are driven off road or on poor roads would see a reduction in bulb replacement by switching to Ring ’ s Long Life range . A reinforced filament and special gas formulations help the bulb to resist the effects of vibration and shock , as might be felt driving over a pot hole .
Fit long life bulbs and save money in the long run
