Hi, i don't really have the cash at the moment to do an HID conversion since im saving for alloys but was wondering if there is a low cost way of getting my headlights to match the blueish sidelight colour? Thanks

I was about to answer this on the other thread LOL!
Looking at your avatar pic, I`d say you need about 6000k to match your led`s.
The problem is that the bluer they are, the less light they produce so getting halogens to match your sides will reduce visibility.
6k or 8k hid`s may be the only thing that will match.
Oh, and most sellers seem to call them xenons when they are in fact halogens - if they were filled with xenon gas they would`nt work LOL!
Thanks for the replies 
ill have a look and see how it turns out, i need H7 lights really but it's not worth the expense imo

Osram Nightbreakers are one of the better H4 bulbs around.
You could always change the sidelights until you get the money to go HID.

I had a set of Philips H7 Extremes, which were good. However the Philips Blue Visions look very good, and give a 4000k output, which from pictures and comps look good.
About £17 a set on Ebay.

Seen these but they're 100Watt, would the Police notice and i was told no matter how bright the bulbs are they won't dazzle if they're properly aligned, is this true?

As fare as i'm aware they are illegal. Seriously, i'd get the philips ones, or save for some HIDs

it does say in the listing that they are only for off road or show usage, i got my set of ebay for £9 i put them in yesterday and went for a drive with them last night and i thought they where rather good for the money and i got some free sidelights too and there all E marked so they are road legal
Do you have a link please? i already have the sidelights though so aren't too fussed about those but do they look the same colour as headlights?
I was only thinking of getting 100Watts because someone said the None HID bluish bulbs aren't that bright.
Thanks
you won't find bulbs that give you a true Xenon effect where oncoming traffic sees blue and yellow around the whiter light...however, if u take a look at some recent pics in my thread you can see that the Philips Bluevision are pretty white with a hint of blue, and are much brighter than standard bulbs previously fitted
i didn't want my whole headlight cluster to become blue as you see in most conversions...even with some hid's this can happen. the only real way to get the Xenon effect is if the standard headlights use projector design where the headlight is behind a lamp-shaped lense
