Good or Bad Idea?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLUE-Xenon-Hi-...ht_2936wt_1165
At 6500k they should produce a real nice effect, with at least 30%+ brightness difference. I know there not branded but at that price id save around 100 quid, and at 16 quid its worth the chance. What do you think? shouldnt do any harm? I was going to buy the phillips diamond vision but at 40 quid a pair i dont know |

I've got these. The light from them is white with a tinge of blue (not yellowy). I added these sidelights to them: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ultra-Power-Bu...item414a006313 And redone the fogs too for completeness. The colour temp is not quite as high as 6500k (point at which light starts looking "tacky" IMO) This is what they look like at night FWIW: |

I bought a set of these for my 5 series and then sent them back. Nice blue looking light, but not bright enough to drive normally in the dark. I actuallly think they arent safe. I replaced them with Phillips Blue Vision. Not as Xenon a look, but I think you need to be careful with headlights with look over function. Stu. |

6500k looks "too blue" IMO. These Philips bulbs are very marketed. I know around 3 people who put them on their car and were not impressed with the look.

I went with Philips X-treme Power Racing Performance. They were tested by auto car etc.
didn't know what to expect, turns out they are very good. Notice the difference straight away. Intense white light |

i just upgraded to halfords super brilliance or whatever they are called, £24.99 each bulb, but they are 2for1 in store and i had some vouchers from crimbo. i am very impressed with them! no pics, but i can confirm it is a ball ache to change the bulbs, dropped a clip in the bumper etc etc..
