Was hoping someone on here could give me a few pointers with regards to upgrading my car's headlamps.

My car is white and I'm not much a fan of the yellowy standard halogens on the car so was thinking of upgrading my headlamps to xenons. Was wondering if someone could answer me these:

1. My car needs H7 bulbs it appears. I would like as white as possible lights, which would be the best bulbs to go for? (previous threads tend to go for either Osram or Philips bulbs, but which ones will be best for whiteness?)

2. Would it be a good idea to change the sidelight bulbs too? (So they don't appear yellowy with the new white lights)

Thanks smile

The closest I have found to match HID are Philips Diamond Vision.

Osram nightbreakers, good whiteness and excellent light output.

Will never be as white as true HID's but side by side on a normal 55 watt bulb, they look great.

Thanks for the help smile - those were the two I've been considering on AutoBulbsDirect.

Anyone know if it'd be worth buying upgraded sidelights too?
