Matching LED Sidelights to Main/Full Beam

[Gobytibbs]

As the title says. Im using Osram night breakers but they look dreadful sat next to LED side lights. I also find that standard sidelights look no good next to the Osrams.

I was thinking that the bulbs in the link below may look better with the LED side lights?

Any advice?

I have the same problem at the moment. Only thing I know about the blue lights is that because of the coating they have slightly worse performance than the nightbreakers etc. Although they can still be decent enough. Been considering these, they seem a good price and come well recommended:

  Would be good to get some pictures if possible! Not always easy as cameras just blur the light!

Did you get them yet? What are your thoughts?

Homesqueeze I completely forgot. The Cobalt blues turned up and Ive fitted them. Sat next to the LED side lights I think it looks good. A very slightly whiter light than the Osrams. I like the look.

They arent as blue as I thought they would be. Sorry about the pictures, its very hard to distinguish the difference. I think its an improvement.

No worries mate. Cheers for that, they sound alright. I think I might try a set myself then

I have night breaker plus bulbs in now, and was just about to order the LED side lights, glad i have seen this gonna change the nightbreakers as well now thanks.

Got to have the right combination with the lights, make a massive difference.

Just got and fitted my Cobalts yesterday. Whilst they look whiter than the yellow of my Philips X-treme visions, they are not quite as bright and they are still not a perfect match. The LED side lights have more of a blue look in comparison and are still a bit mismatched. Having said that, it is probably the best combo that is possible and it looks better than it did before. I think i'll stick with them as it looks decent enough.

Yeh I agree. Without shelling out £400 for xenons I think its as close as we'll get!
