they are the philips blue vision 501s

not hard, well, once you realise you dont twist the bulb holder out... just pull it... or your be there all day wondering why you cant find the "notch". lol

Are they standard lights, I see you have zenons. My side lights are in the high bean reflective cone.

Nothing as far as I'm aware....

I bet REDROBIN hasn't seen this.... and he's got zenons.

Yours look like DRL's

Has any one else got the same lights as this or are they like mine....

im supprised they did two different lamps them just for sidelight, seems like quite a style change... odd... (i wonder if u have a hole for one where mine is?)

Looks a lot better and blends in with the xenon well.  I upgraded mine to Polarg bulbs which look similar to your new one's now.

Xenon's only have sidelights in the bottom section with the indicator unlike the halogen lamps.
