Hi,

 

Looking to replace my OEM headlight bulbs on my skoda fabia monte carlo projector headlights. Not too keen on the HID kits as they look quite hard to fit yourself and aren't very cheap so my alternative is an HID bulb that is closest to an HID kit look? Anyone recommend any? Preferably 4500K plus or around there with a blue light/tint coming off the headlights? I have looked at Osram Nightbreakers and seen pictures and reviews but the light has still got some yellow to it. Also looked at Philips Ultra Blue and also read that they are white and not blue, others I have looked at aren't road legal but will I get stopped for them or fail an MOT? Is it worth the risk?

 

Thank you

I have HIDs factory fitted to my Vrs for dipped beam and have spent forever looking for a similar match for my full beam.

I've currently got a 55w 7500k Xenon blue bulbs fitted for high beam and guess what? Still bloody yellow!!!

Okay okay - they are the whitest/brightest I've come across but it's still a yellow light. Certainly not ' blue ' or anything.

Tbh' unless you go HID I don't think you can get that blue tinge - maybe you could get the 100w bulbs but they can melt your wiring system.

As for legality I seriously wouldn't worry about that. I've got mates with deep blue and purple HID's and never get stopped by Police and pass MOT so I highly doubt you'll have any problems with halogen/xenon bulbs.

You could always try LED bulbs that will give you pure white with no yellow - guaranteed. Just be careful if you have a can bus system.
