      I wouldnt go above 4300k, purely because 4300k xenon's are what audi, bmw etc use so they look oem, higher like 6k would look blue and crap imo. Dave, best setup and I think most people would agree,

      Simple. Osram night breakers H1 and H7 for the legal option. sorted Or HIDs for the not so legal option

    How difficult is it to change the bulbs, rough time?

  • Quote

    10-15 mins, bit awkward getting the unit out but easy enough DIY.

    I looked on Osram's website and there is the Nightbreaker which is meant to be about the same colour as the DRLs, then there are 2 which are bluer, one road legal and one not.

    Those aren't road legal are they? I know that's not a problem to a lot of people though, especially when it's 3 years til first MOT.

    Cool, and here I am with the car but haven't ordered the bulbs yet. I think I'll get the same H1s but also the Night Breaker H7s. And I might as well detango while I'm at it.

    Yeah, but I'm hoping they will match the colour of the DRLs as others have said, I know they're still a bit yellow but should look much better than standard. I hope I can try one on the driver's side without taking the whole unit out, then if I'm not happy with it I can go for something else.
