Hi,

I'm thinking about getting the Modulite DRL's... which are bright white from what I can see on pictures

They will contrast a bit too much with my yellow-ish stock bulbs so I was thinking of getting replacements with a more white shine to them and having some better output wouldn't be bad neither

I've read good things about Philips X-treme Vision but I was wondering how white they are and would love to see them on an Octavia so pics are welcome

Off course also experiences with this type or other types/brands are welcome, they just have to meet following requirements:

- durable

- good output (better then stock)

- white (not blue or yellow)

cheers

Mine aren't that white at all to look at, but I can see much better as a result of using them. I couldn't give a rats ass what my car looks like (which is just as well...)

I don't find them very good on dipped beam. Main beam is excellent.

Interesting. I find it kinda the other way around. In that I cannot use main beam without the dip together, or I can't see sheeit!

any other options then?

I used Osram cool Blue and I found them very good...light is much whiter than standard

I got so annoyed with VRS lights being utterly **** I went for 100watters. I've tried everything else and finally my lights are about the strength of normal new cars. Obviously some might not want to but I got so annoyed with candles in Jam jars.

Won't 100watt bulbs damage the plastic of the headlight? I'm also looking for new bulbs anyone used any from halfords?

Nope, no issues at all. They have a coating according to where I bought them from that reduces heat output. Have driven for 2 hours with fogs and headlights on to test and just warm to the touch when I'd finished.

I've just put Osram Nightbreaker + in mine and whilst it's not brilliant by today's standards, they are much better than the ones that came out. I can now see more than 3ft in front of me and they are a little whiter than standard.

£18 quid from ECP too.

ok bought the bosch plus 90 because of the good reviews I've read, in combination with philips bluevision w5w

result is great, really white light. There is a bit of a blue shine in the reflector of the headlight but the light itself is white.

here's a cellphone pic, on the left oem, on the right my new setup.

picture doesn't really does the bosch justice though... the oem looks white in this picture but irl it's yellow-isch

haven't driven around with them yet but it lights up my driveway better then the oem's so it's promising :-)

cheers

looking at bulbs myself anyone used these ebay specials

http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1423.l2649

I bought a set of these, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110822613556?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 they are a nice white light although the LED sides are a bit blue for my liking. Will get phone pics up later.

What about these gents?

'Use at your risk' is the concensus. I have Philips Extreme and theyre Ok

Who was this in reference too?

I was running some 100w ones but they gave a blurred beam pattern .. I thought it may have been the headlight itself till I went back o standard candles lol ! Gonna go hid kit route I think unless there's horror stories about them as well ?
