Full beams will be hard to match.
Most are yellow no matter what colour the bulb. Halogen just lights up yellowish, no way around it.
Best to look for is a White bulb if you can find them, but most look yellow when compared to HID's

Blue vision sidelights are yellow, just a blue glass! Trust me, i've tried them.
LED is the best bet for a match. i got PIAA white bulbs and they are spot on!

I never thought i could be so hard to find some bulbs. I want to get the side light tomorrow as one has blown, Dont know if i will be able to get any LED's from somewhere like Wilco or Halfords? Yeah the Osram night sounds pretty good. I will see what i can find tomorrow. Thanks for the help mate!
If you have a motor-world near you, then you might be able to get some, but not sure on quality:

ive bought the PIAA full beams that were suggested in another thread, and they are still yellow, and they say they are the whitiest light your money can buy!
Without going hid they will always look yellow. you could of course buy 4500k hid bulbs to replce your 6000k's as they wont be as pure white 
The superbright single leds look excellent and having bought around 5 pairs of different types serching for the brightest 5v bulb available have ended up with thee, although I bought them months ago for a lot less from ebay.

i really dont see what the need is for full beams to look the same as the hid's, cos no-one is going to see them looking less white. its not like people driving the oposite way will be annoyed that the light that is currently burning a hole in their retinas is slightly yellowish. i sort of know where your coming from but just think its not worth the bother.
Its just for my benefit, The white colour is really nice to drive with but when i put full beam on the white is over powered by the yellow. It would just be nice if it was more white?

OK i'm no mechanic but found fitting the HIDs really easy. However i have been trying to change the sidelights for almost 20 mins and cant get the old one out!
Now i take it i am removing the black holder from the white holder by squeezing the 2 black clips together. But these black clips are flush with the white holder making it very hard to squeeze them, when i did manage to catch them nothing budged and i quickly lost my grip of them.
It is very frustrating and my hand is now bleeding
Has anyone got ANY tips? how hard is it to remove the whole headlight?
I asked the dealer to have a look while they were doing my brakes but said they couldnt cos theyre LEDs![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
Also i have now managed to make the sidelight not work - probably from my continual yanking of it.
