« on: March 07, 2014, 09:41:42 am »
As title says really I have hid at the moment but all of a sudden they keep flickering and going off so looking to put back to normal halogen bulbs but obviously comeing from his which are stupidly bright want something better than the standard yellowy halogen but not wanting the blue I see Saxo's etc

Autolamps Cobalt 2 are the best "white" light.

They look as close to Xenons as you can get in a halogen light. Oh, and they are less than half the price of the Osram's  :happy2:

Autoexpress rated them highly too.

I've got osram night breakers. I have a thread going with photo comparisons of the old and new bulbs.

Just ordering some of those! They seem like they will be a better match with my LED sidelights.
