Halogen bulb upgrade
Just noticed my right headlight bulb is out - after changing the left one a couple of weeks ago! Typical!
Anyway, I'm keen to loose the nasty yellow glow of the halogens but don't really want to go down the route of hid conversion unless you guys think this is best?
Can anyone recommend a direct build swap for both the mains and side lights that give the best 'white'/xenon-like light.
Thanks

Ring bulbs from advanced none of the others come as close for
Whiteness and brightness
those prices are unbelievable (low compared to all the others)...
The less should be these I canbusthink...http://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/t10-cree--smd-led-light-replaces-501-glass-wedge-pack-of-2-xenon-look-5199-p.asp
there are a lot of these led 501's on the market - but these I have seen & if they are the Canbus type you will be OK
I have meddled about with six types - just to see & these are the brightest for me currently.BREXIT - done properly.

Ok at the danger of sounding a bit stupid...
Just realised I think I need two sets of headlight bulbs to upgrade the headlights. One for dipped/main and one for main independent? (As well has side light leds)
Does that mean I need to order two sets of the ring xenonstar+ H7? Or are they different bulbs?
Thanks!

Although xenons in my main "bulbs" I upgraded the main beam ones to Nightbreaker +100% and it makes a big difference. Well worth it for the little cost, especially on the A9 in the early hours looking for herds of red dear that like to hide at the side of the road.

So... Put my new bulbs in yesterday and had a drive last night. Huge improvement! Can see a lot further. Colour looks great too
Only thing is I had a few people flashing me when on dipped beam.... Anyone else have this problem after putting in the xenonstar+?

Yeah nice and simple! Just unclip the grill and the headlights, pull the whole unit out and then can simply pull off the covers and change the bulbs.
