Hi Guys,

An other quickish question i am thinking of putting those philips blue vision bulbs in my head lights and mean beam ? but does anyone know where to get my hands on any type of bulbs for the side lights or parking lights i have read the hand book and it says they are suppose to be 4watt bulbs ? but they give that terible yellowish look ? and with having the angel eyes lights they would look bad ? so looking for some type of bulb that will give a really nice bright white look from the angel eyes ?



Thanks in advance guys !!!

Know what you mean bout the yellow glow - no good!

I tried those ring ones but theyre the same as stock mate. If you really want bright white light, youve gotta go LED. Take a look on www.ultraleds.co.uk

In my experience all bm side bulbs are usually 5w

go for the ones with 4 leds, and get white ones (the blue ones really are BLUE) other than that, up to you! I got mine from ultraleds, and they were just over Ԛ£6 next day delivery (they've got four white leds and one blue to give a slight blue tint)

Robin, yep theyre the ones. They are more blue than white i'd say, but i think they look good on my motor. (not that you can see them with the eyebrows covering them anyway!) I just get a kind of blue glow to the whole lamp
