They are good bulbs... if they are genuine! But they arent exactly white. Normally bulbs will always be yellow or a bit yellow. I have them and they are definitely decent.

I have them and they are definitely decent. i really would like some pure white ones like what the new audi's & bmw's have think they'd look decent have seen hid's but don't really want to be blinding eveyone

The pure white lights are HIDs. Nightbreakers are as good as you'll get for normal bulbs though!

No, they aren't!
You need projector lenses (as used in Angel eyes). But you should also have self levellers and headlight washers... That said, they are feckin epic when factory fitted....it's genuinely like noon in the middle of the night.

heres the bottom line...
You will always be yellow with standard bulbs To have white, blue, purple or any other audi or bmw style light you need HIDS BUT for HIDS you need the right headlights including an auto leveling system 306s dont have this system and headlights arent designed for them and blind everyone. My experience with HIDs is that on any setting apart from the lowest I was blinding people. The blue tinge was annoying looking back on it and I can see just as much with the nightbreakers I now have whilst also not blinding people. We dont need an arguement about HIDs here. If you want to fit them do it but it will be blinding people and breaking the law. If its not blinding people then you wont be seeing much yourself! Watch this video - note they fit them in projectors, What HID actually stands for, and how blinding they are in the headlights in the subaru.

I had HID's on my 205, that was fun, they kept dying and raping alternators for a past time.
A big pain in the ass for some "white" light imo.

I got nightbreakers, they're okay and certainly alot better(safer) than the "xenon" style bulb in there before which are cheapo bulbs painted blue. They're quite yellow but other times I've found myself thinking oh theyre fairly white
H7 Hids are blinding to people as theyre made for a different type of headlight(projector) while most older cars are reflector style so instead of having all that nice hid power being projected at the floor it gets reflected up,down and everywhere blinding people There is the H7R bulb type for HIDs that have a coating to reduce the dazling effect and alot of the mg owners swear by them for not blinding other road users, I can't personally comment on them although on this forum using HIDs automaticly makes you a bell  (15-10-2014, 10:37 AM)Toms306 Wrote: H4 in ph1 CAREFUL. Ph.1s are H4 IF they don't have twin-optics fitted, in which case they are H1 and H7. Just open your lights to take a look if you have a ph.1. If the main beams are a separate bulb to your dipped beams you have twin-optics.

Fyi: Twin optic ph1 dont have a h4 in at all!!

Hmm, in that case, just buy a ph3, much easier.

If you want white light just buy Osram Nightbreaker cool blue bulbs, and you'll have decent bulbs (albeit with a coating) and it will be white light, and you won't be being a twat.
