I want to change my headlight and sidelight bulbs so that they're whit rather than the yellow. Does anyone know what bulbs i'll need and any recommendations and pics would be appreciated? Cheers

Right ok so ive decided on getting phillips blue vision bulbs. The sidelights are W5W's and the main beam is H1. Is this right? Also it would be cool if you could change the front fogs and someone mentioned that they're H7? Does anyone know if this is true?

You're correct re the sidelights (W5W) & main beam H1) but I'm sure the fogs are H3. I've just fitted Osram Silverstars as my dipped headlamps and I highly recommend them; they're really bright but road legal.

I have just got some sidelights from ultra leds, need to get round to fitting them soon.
I want to change my front indicators (get rid of that fried egg look). What ones should I go for?
Sorry for the thread hi-jack, but I guess your after the same sort of info?

I don't think you can beat Osram Diadems.

These are my LED sidelights (daylight). They are actually whiter than the xenon light output, which isn't perfect, but I like them and they will last.
I purchased them from
www.ultraleds.com, they are the only white ones with a metal shell, that they sell.
I also have Osram diadems in this picture:

I just checked the phillips website. The fogs are H7
JKM_GTI. I have FK silver bulbs in mine, they do the business nicely! I can put up some pics and find out how much they are if you want?
