I've just changed the main beam bulb on my Focus and note that it says
'use low UV bulbs' on the back of the headlight.
Searching around on Ebay none of the bargais are UV marked ( U
Marked ) is this because all headlight bulbs are UV Cut now ?
I'd imagine that almost all cars have Plastic headlights these days so
do I really need to get a U marked replacement ?

You'll get answers in uk.rec.cars.maintenance if not in here.

The opinions might vary, and with any luck you might start a flame war.

Either there or Ye shedde.

Plenty of UV filtering through the clouds on Stob a Choire Odhair
today. Pretty warm too.
