Uh oh! Almost wish I hadn't asked!

Apparantly the Osrams are 3500K, so you're right that the 4000K will be closest.

Is there actually any advantage to the LEDs for side lights?

I can't imagine that the power consumption has much impact on anything?

Presumably they last longer - so no blown bulbs.

Brightness, I presume is no better - or am I wrong on that?

Mine are definitely brighter than the rubbish bulbs I took out.

They should last longer. Power consumption would be lower.

Need to ditch the yellow light provided by the H7 high beam to something that matches the xenons and ideally provide more light.

So which are the best colour match?

Philips H7 X-treme Vision
Philips H7 X-treme Vision Plus
OSRAM Night Breaker H7
OSRAM Night Breaker Plus H7
OSRAM Night Breaker Plus H7 Limited Edition

Can't remember what I had in the D3 but they were outstanding in all regards.

same here....if you have the original filament bulbs in the sides,they just look like you have a dodgy battery ie they look yellow,weak and nasty (in my opinion Wink ) .......and if you have Xenon mains,the led's complement them nicely in colour output Thumbs Up
