De facto colour matched lamps/lights/bulbs

Featured Replies

Folks is there a a go to range or brand of lights/lamps/bulbs, particularly for the front end, that are known to give similar or even identical colour temps so they all look the same when lit?

I have xenons and some MTec sidelights - the latter are a bit blue tinted and, whilst I appreciate it's not necessarily possible to get a white light, what will match the xenons?

I would also like some fog light bulbs that match - in 2-1/2 years of ownership, I've used them as fog lights twice, they're now just cornering lights so it would be nice if they looked the same.

Is there also a recommended number plate light for CANBUS cars that has a better spread of light and is less blue, more white? Mine are a bit directional and blue tinted so I'm looking for alternatives.

led's for the side lights. mylitco on ebay have plenty which suit as they have resistors built in.

 

foglights, you will need to use halogen bulbs which have a blue tint. This is the only way to get close to xenon bulbs color from halogen. You will loose output but as its a fog then its not a huge issue

 

ive just bought philips crystal vision for my fogs

Cool thanks Ryan, output from the fogs isn't really an issue as, well, they don't really get used as fogs. In fact I can't remember the last time I switched the lights from auto to on.
