Since I've uprated my headlamps to Xenon bulbs, my sidelights are now too yellow for my liking

Does anyone know of any vendors of brighter sidelamp bulbs?

Thanks in advance.

I've managed to source some.... special offer, too (buy the headlights, get the sidelights free )

all bright-white Xenon type.

email my profile for details, or catch me on 5ive-o

I ended up fitting 15W sidelight bulbs to my MY97 as the standard ones are only 5W - makes a hell of a difference

Bulbs are available from Halfords in 10W and 15W ratings

Question

I'm using the 15W ones too - much much brighter than 5w, but still yellow!

Apparently you can get some 21W ones - anyone know if you can get these in a white/blue version from somewhere (maybe a motorbike shop?)

Have a look here chaps

http://www.piaa.co.uk/bulbs/bulbshow.asp?ID=led

I havent bought any myself yet, but i am going to soon. They have to be good at £17.50 a pair

I had the phillips blue side light bulbs in my 96UK turbo, they are much better than the standard ones, but still arent white enough for my liking.

My terzo has moretts and the sidelight bulbs look very very yellow compared to the dipped beam on the moretts, even with phillips blue bulbs fitted
