Question


Anyone know where I can get some side light bulbs that are white not that yellowy color ?

I tried halfords and they werent too helpful - its just that I want them to match the Xenon bulbs in the main lights.

Try Philips Blue Vision sidelights, I've got them on mine and are much whiter than standard yellow affairs I've already converted a couple of people at our local meet lol!! I've got them with Vision Plus for the headlights too which makes a vast difference.

Try www.powerbulbs.com

I've got the PIAA ones as per Dave T-S. Look so much better, especially after I had fitted the Xenon main ones. Been in a couple of years now..

I've just ordered a set of headlight bulbs and sidlights and they are W5W (that's what the chap at powerbulbs said anyway and he seems to know his onions)

I'm running PIAA Superwhites which are good. The side lights look very sweet indeed. But the whole lot is put into perspective by the PIAA Superwhite spot lights which really turn night into day! However when you go back onto dipped beam, you think "what the hell did I spend all that money on the driving light bulbs for"?

IMHO, there isn't a whole lot you can do with the dipped beam in the standard Scooby headlight-PIAA helps but you still struggle on a wet night. The morrette conversion has had good comments but Dave T's experience of the Xenon lights was the best I have read particularily re dipped beams albeit at a cost££££.

I used Super Whites in both our MY00's. Had four replaced under warranty in nine months.

Now using Philips Vision Plus in the MY01's...at least until mine is HID'd on Saturday
