Anonymous Unregistered A	Having had my HID kit now for a few months, I've come to the conclusion that the yellow looking side lights look crap. I want to buy some White coloured side lights. Does anybody know where I can get these from? Also I presume the fitting is H1? Dave

They look nice and white which matches the HIDs much better. I say i run LEDs but i only have one at the minute as the other has expired (just 4 months or so ago ). So it's half white and half yellow. Death-rattle-tastic

Yes - I know they are not really HID. Yes - I know they are not as bright as normal. That's fine, I never use my fogs. But what fitment are the bulbs? Coopless!

Anonymous Unregistered A	....have always used the philips "blue vision" W5W sidelight bulbs I did try a set of them LED things & they were utterly useless, almost zero light output, sure thay are white, but not of any use ! they look well chavvy blue, but when fitted to the car, you can't see this & they light up very white, so they match the HID's I would also recommend you ditch the shite orange indicator lamps for some mirror finished ones, such that the whole front end light cluster all looks white & clean Taz

Anonymous Unregistered A	Depends if you use the fog lights in fog. White foglights are pretty useless. In this case the yellow light works far better. I was thinking of going the otherway and amber tinting the lenses, possibly because I seem to live in a fogbank. Something to do with the middle of Ireland, peat bogs and atrocious roads.
