If its halogen light, dipped and main are H7.

[JayAr-E90]

can you get dipped in white and would they actually light up white?

[Frobius]

?

Best H7 bulbs are the likes of Philips Xtreme Vision +100% or Osram Nightbreakers

[JayAr-E90]

sorry am not good with these things, would they light up white? like a xenon look

Whiter than standard bulbs but 'xenon look' bulbs are shit. They're just normal bulbs with a blue coating, so light output ends up reduced. Loads of people have tried them and just gone back to standard.

Plus they're usually Far-Eastern shit with no "CE" mark, off-axis focussing and only last a few weeks. And they look wank.

ok ill stick to the standard then lol

As Frobius said, the Xtreme Vision is a worthwhile upgrade, just don't buy the blue crap.

I went for Halfords 90% brighter ones. I would say they are a bit whiter than standard.
