Best side lights & headlight bulbs?
« on: September 02, 2013, 12:12:59 pm »
Hi guys I haven't got xenons on my eddy just wondering which side lights you would recommend for being the best and brightest? Same with headlight bulbs?

I've looked at the Philips 501 led 6000k ones with canbus canceller controllers etc but I don't know what to choose really?

Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Thanks

Jay :happy2:

I've got Osram Cool Blue Intense in mine.

Whitest light of any road legal non xenon i've found so far. They're not totally xenon look but WAY whiter than the standard lights and the nightbreakers I have used previously.

Just my 2p worth - a good, cheap option.

I'm going through this process of changing most of the lights to xenon's. I have fitted Phillips Diamond Vision and im very impressed (Main Beam - H7), however I need to find some decent LED sidelight that are bright and not dim (1st set were very dim) and I bought another set which fliker. If anyone has any links to the sidelights they have used that would be great!  :drinking:

Also what numberplate bulbs are people using (festoon bulbs) that dont throw up any errors and are nice and white?

Got these number plate bulbs - no errors :) not that cheap though. Google hids direct discount code and I found a 10% off code somewhere.

If you are just looking at replacing the H7's I went for the Philips X-Treme Vision/Power; after searching around and reading Osram seemed to have shorter lives, however the Philips seemed to be on par with the Ring.

I went off the reviews on amazon and the prices were good too; made a miraculous difference on the road.  Would definitely recommend paying the little bit more for a trusted brand and bulb as opposed to a cheaper one.
