Head Lights

chee · 26th January 2008, 09:14

Hello all, sorry for posting this thread but I'm getting quite confused about bulbs! I have a Sport with HIDs and wanted to replace the (I think) main beam lights which are very yellow in colour - my question is what to replace the bulb with to make it more "white" to match the HIDs? I read through some threads but confused which bulbs to go for? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Ring Sportz Blue are an almost perfect match Ive found

I went for Osram Nightbreakers and I am very happy with them.

There is some more info in the Wiki:
Lights - Civinfo Wiki

There are other options too, the other day someone even posted about Honda selling higher performing bulbs as an option.

I think I'll go for Osram Night Breakers - do I go for the H1 bulbs?

You may also want to replace the sidelights with white 501 LEDs.

chee · 26th January 2008, 20:27

Sorry, what are the sidelights you mentioned? Sorry for continued silly questions!

I had those but there was still a noticebale tinge of orange compared to the Xenons.

I just installed White 501 LED Extreme Power bulds today and now they're more a purple colour in comparison to the Xenons

Has anyone found the perfect match yet?

Cheers,

Colin
