Question

Can anyone tell me how shafted I will get if im pulled up by the police.
I have just fitted some Blue side light bulbs to a classic shape impreza and the stand out like a sore thumb, due to the side light/parking light been seperate to that of the headlamp.

Any help appreciated
Ronnie

What headlight bulbs do you have in, ie are they std or something like Phillips vision plus?

Doubt that you'd get pulled for having blue sidelights unless they're something stupid like neon style bulbs tbh.

I've got vision plus & phillips 'blue' sidelight bulbs and have had no probs but I dont think they look that 'blue' to me.

Hi Ronnie,

Sound liketh you need some 'bluey' style headlights, they will balance it out, you wont get pulled for them i'm pretty sure about that

Talking

Ronnie,

Get your *** down to a motor factor now and get some Phillips vision plus or similar, that way they wont seem so blue, its only because your std headlight bulbs are such a different colour it looks like that lol

This'll make you laugh - if you buy the bulbs from Powerbulbs (can't recommend them highly enough - next day delivery both time I've used them)

they will send you...... a free pait of Blue sidelight bulbs

:-)

Don't ya just love irony.
