Prepare your winter safety and comfort:
Better wiper blades and headlamp bulbs

Motion Trends, PR, 23rd September 2005.

With winter and longer nights approaching, safe driving calls for a few routine check-ups.

Besides the usual battery and tyres check-up before cold arrives, two key elements of visibility are often overlooked: wiper blades and headlights efficiency. One particular risk being our gradual adaptation to the wiper blades deterioration with time.

Today we drive further, our roads are busier and there are more pedestrians to look out for than ever before. Motorway pile-ups are a common daily occurrence, especially in wet weather conditions as the darker evenings draw near.

Most vehicles are fitted with the same standard type of headlamp bulbs and wiper blades as were used on vehicles 20 years ago. Seeing a dangerous situation early can avoid a serious accident and possibly save a life.

New advances in lighting technology have helped produce a new and much improved headlamp bulb called the Max White ‘n’ Bright. The new bulb throws out a whiter and more intense light than a conventional headlamp bulb. Night vision is improved by up to 30% - immediately.

Add to this a pair of the award winning TP Performance Wiper blades and you‘ll probably have as good a vision as any motorist on the road today. Tested independently against original equipment brands, the TP Performance wiper blade provided an improved silent, smooth and streak free sweep compared to other alternatives tested (The TP Performance Wiper Blades won the independent Auto Express Award in late 2004).

The replacement White and Bright bulbs and TP Performance wiper blades can be fitted in minutes and are available to fit virtually every make of vehicle on the road.

White and Bright headlamp bulbs cost GB£24.95 a pair. The TP Performance Wiper Blades cost £16.95 a pair – both include VAT and free carriage to your door (UK) when you order online. Visit  www.carparts-direct.co.uk or call 01332 290833 (from abroad, dial +44-1332-290833).
