H7 dipped, H7 main, W5W sidelight

I am currently using Halfrauds Ultra Blue, which give the whitest light of any bulb I have used, and compared to Philips Blue Vision etc which are still fairly yellow imo. Unfortunately they are a headlight melting 80W so somewhat illegal..

As anyone tried these "PowerMad 130watt"    http://www.xenondirect.com/product.php?productid=16160&cat=289&page=1

I wouldn't mind giving them a try, but dont want to melt the headlight?

The lenses get pretty hot with 80W, so I would not want to try 130W. Not least as to what it may to to the wiring  with the extra current drawn

If TT still ain't around is now a good time to ask about Hella s retro fit Xenons ?!

Why's that then?  Just because I take a sabatical, it don't suddenly mean retro-fit HIDs suddenly become legal!

Great lets have the Xenon argument, sorry discussion, for 3 weeks again

Good to see you back TT.

So to clarify in order to upgrade the headlighting you need to swap 3 bulbs per side so as not to have any yellowish light. Is it worth doing this or is it purely for the look?

Well, I'm not going there again.  Too much blood was spilt the first time!

Thanks.

Well if you want them to all look the same colour, especially if you change them for something like "ice white".  In terms of actual lighting performance, regarding the parking lamps, I doubt there would be any benefit, though.
