Cookey09 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 A lot of sellers, anywhere, claim to be xenon white, you'll find they're just a brighter "yellow" colour. The glass of the bulb will be really dark blue to make which in turn turn yellow light, white, which decreases useful visible light output but increases the white light output. Better of either trying LED's, HIDS, or just buying well known halogens. Cookey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris1200 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I tried some of those blue coloured things in the past. They did look very white indeed and they lit up everything in front of them...as long as it was no more than 10 feet away. I had to stop at a petrol station the first night I used them and get ordinary halogen bulbs. The amount of lumens those things give out is friggin dangerously low. DO NOT BUY THEM!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had to get some you'd be one of the first to try them out, I can't comment on how good/bad they are... To be honest, I've got some in from carenhancementsuk, they're alright but not as good for safety reasons as my Philips Crystalvisions which I had in. I've currently got an HID Kit that needs wiring in... Those you sent... They'd be less yellow than your current bulb, but they won't be as white as you what you think...

Whatever works best for you fella. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
