Blue/White bulbs.?

[jase]

Recommend me some good Blue/White H7 and (I think) H5 bulbs to go with the led side lights.
Don't want to be spending stupid halfrauds £25 per bulb prices.

Where is cheapest price to get the recommended bulbs from too.

...???

 

[jase]

Nobody going to recommend some bulbs.?

Would like a recommendation for something like this myself. Usually look on websites such as Auto Express and find out what has won their awards. I don't think you can go far wrong with Phillips IIRC from reading articles.

Yeh philips always gets mentioned, but which philips.?

I have always liked Osram nightbreakers TBH, more white than blue though!

 

[jase]

Wanted something to match the led side lights which are quite blue.
Or are there some less blue LEDs that I could use for side lights.?

Think these are the Philips ones, or one of them:

I had some Phillips BlueVision in my old car. Wasn't blue at all i thought. Unless they where the type of bulbs that look blue from far away and then are white close up.

Highly rate Phillips bulbs though for quality. Mine lasted ages to!!

Philips Xtreme Vision +100% H7s - about as good as you can get without going Xenon / HID.

Don't say anything about blue/white light though

They are the closest you'll get to a 'pure' white output as is possible with filament bulbs i'm afraid.

Loads of comparison photos available on google images.

Also worth noting - Osram Nightbreakers have a blue hue, but seem to have a lot of negative feedback due to having a very short lifespan.

No worries.

Fedup of the dire 'candle in a jamjar' effect provided by the standard renault bulbs?
