Headlight bulb

[mrred32]

I have just updated my whole set of front bulbs (minus the indicators) with Osram Cool Blue Intense (4200k).

The H7 and W5W's look loads better at night, they give off a really nice white light and provide really improved visibility from the standard bulbs. The H15 Osram Cool Blue Intense (3700k) let me down a bit as this still looks quite yellow in the daytime.

I would definitely recommend the H7 and W5W. In order to complete the set I changed H15 as well, although this bulb is pretty expensive at the moment and doesn't give the white light in the day that i would have liked (although i didn't expect that much).

Thanks for the reply. Shame that you are disappointed with the H15. Being still yellowish would bug me too. It really bugs me being "standard". I really need to change the bulbs

Can anyone else advise please. I am ready to buy bulbs and am thinking of the Philips ones that usually win the auto express tests   

Looking to change the sidelights/drl/high beam and dipped

Guys, what have you used for the side light bulb(5w)?

I have used Osram night breakers  dipped beam and Philips xtreme dipped beam.

The philips bulb is definitely much whiter. Osram bulb is still quite yellow. But Osram definitely shines brighter and further.

I used LED sidelight bulbs. Let me get the link...

LED sidelights from ultra-hids on ebay

Headlight dipped beam are Osram nightbreakers which are much better than the stock lights I had. Much brighter and light shines further on road. There is a slight blue tint to them, but they look super yellow in this pic compared to the sidelights
