Decided against the ultra bulbs.....

Thinking they won't match the bright white osram night breakers. Bright white then the DRL being a blue tint, wouldn't gel I think.

What DRL/Main beam bulbs are you running mate? H15's upgraded?

Haven't upgraded the H15 yet, waiting on them restocking. Found the blue Ultra H15 bulbs but not keen on the blue tint that the ultra bulbs have. I just want bright white to match my osram night breakers.

I'm looking to upgrade my mk6 bulbs from the standard yellow halogens to some osram night breakers. I've found a kit that has H7 dipped beam and H1 sidelights/daytime running lights.

Are these the bulbs I need? I've checked my owners manual but it doesn't state which bulbs to use.

i'm pretty sure osram's website has a tool that shows you exactly which bulbs you can use for which car

FYI - the upgraded H15's are back in stock at auto bulbs direct. I didn't get an email to tell me even though I signed up  :rolleyes:  just happened to have a look tonight. Use discount code JCPRO5 for just over a quid off  :grin:

Has anyone fitted LED replacement 501s?

I'm toying with changing mine but a recommendation would be great

Thanks for the info, also registered for notification, but no e-mail, order through Quidco and get £3.60 back (eventually).

Dipped beam is H7,main beam and DRL are H15, no Nightbreaker option for the H15, but Autobulbs are offering an upgrade bulb.

http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/White-H15-Upgrade-Bulb.html

unfortunately out of stock at present

Quite like the look of these, so this is a replacement for the DRL?  Has anyone fitted them, the whiter the better for me.
