Aside from the whiter light how much brighter are the Philips bulbs?

Doesn't it tell you on the www.PowerBulbs.com website?  I think they are available in "50%" and "100%" brighter, but you best check for yourself.  :smiley:

I put these in mine 12 months ago and the difference in night and day.  They produce a very nice white light as opposed to the yellow of the oem bulbs.  Our mini has xenons and i would say apart from the very blue light they produce, they are no brighter than the philips in the golf :cool:

Fitted the Philips bulbs this weekend.
Can vouch for the excellent service from PowerBulbs.
Lights are definately whiter and brighter.
Thanks for the heads up on sourcing these.

PS - as others have mentioned, the side lights are v awkward, I gave up.
Might borrow some snipe nosed pliers - unless anyone else has any other suggestions for pulling them out ?

Nope, my fingers where in bits from trying with my hands, ended up using a set of pliers to get them out as I couldnt get enough grip on the longnoses.
