Drewcam Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I want to replace my sidelights with a pure white effect, but don't want to by a set that give off a chavvy blue led look like some i have bought in the past. Has anyone done this and are happy with the results and as such can recommend were to buy a set Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Only ones ive seen , that i like are PIAA tera LED's , but at nearly £40 a pair, ive got better things for the money right now. Im using Philips Blue Vison side lights, which are a reasonable colur match to xenons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I love my sidelights. Some of the guys on Bimmerfest's 6-series section have replaced theirs (these are all US drivers by the way) with very bright angel eyes, but I much prefer the subtle effect of mine...

Ska Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 These are the 501 Super Bright LED's and as you can see against the HID light they stil hold their own; emmiting very white light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewcam Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Neil i'v allready seen the ones at autobulbsdirect. They are £6.99 and probably the ones i will order. Thing is though i,v seen them ranging up to £35 on different sites and don't know if the price reflects any differences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_C Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 No worries - it's saved in my favourites! Sadly I believe the bulbs are much harder to change on your B7 than the B6. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac_Terrorist Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I fitted some 'Ice White' sidelight bulbs from Autobulbs direct at the weekend. I was a bit doubtful when I first looked at them because they are an opaque blue bulb. However when lit up they are pure white and absolutely no hint of blue. I also ordered some Philips Bluevision headlamp bulbs - a bit disappointed as they still look very yellow to me. Not sure what's going on with those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Atleast your a couple of years away from an MOT! Maybe the picture doesnt do them justice, but to me the light output is poor. You can hardly tell if they are on from the first picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to the normal sidelight bulb the light output is lower but i have achieved whet i wanted and got rid of all yellow affect Here is some night pics.
