Please post yours, and tell what bulbs have the brigthen color (closed to Xenon) and give great ligth (lumens) because i already tried some brands of bulbs that give a white color but have a poor ilumination. Please, say your opinions

For those that dont have HID, trash your bulbs and try philips vision plus or philips blue vision. They shine, and i have the same pair of blue vision already from october 2004

City light: PIAA LED
Low beam: HID
High beam: PIAA Plasma Spark Blue
Fog light: PIAA Plasma Spark Blue

The PIAA Plasma Spark Blue bulbs seem very close to the HID look. Haven't tested them in the dark yet though so can't comment on light output.

The PIAA Plasma Spark Blue bulbs are fairly close to the HID look. I tried all the other PIAA bulbs & most of them still look yellow in comparison. The LED sidelights are also a good match.

Im guessing I can get the philips bulbs from halfords?

Osram Silverstars, there 20% brighter claim i can believe, nice white lights vs standard units. Dipped lights are still a but weak, I think its just the reflectors more than anything, full beams are great though. And there really cheap too...

Any reviews i read rate the Philips slightly ahead, i think it was lighting distance that was slightly better with the Philips, not enough to justify the extra cost IMO.

mcandmar: i tried both, osram and philips, and philips is much much better.

Thanks for the reply

I used philips and osram, o think philips have a better look, but the Orsram siverstar (a little yellow) have a better ligth (this in my reflectors)

H1 PIAA
PIAA is a good ideia, please, say where i can find them.

Cheers,

PIAA dealers in Spain

I'm happy with them until I can save for the low beam HID's
