Looking good! What's the colour comparison/match to your osram night breakers? Are these sidelights technically your DRL's?

They are whiter than my OSRAMs, as they are LED's, and although OSRAMS are the brightest and whitest halogen bulb you can get the LED is still white, makes me want to but the OSRAMS into the full beam lights and get a HID KIT for the dipped beam

Phillips do whiter halogens than Osram Nightbreakers...but they're much more expensive.

I have Philips diamond vision bulbs fitted, very white/bluey. Cost about £25 from eBay I believe?

Hmmm so the Phillips are actually illegal?

I've had the phillips before, and technically they are classed as illegal.. "Please note, these bulbs are not E marked so therefore not strictly road legal."

I was impressed by the colour of them, however when driving at night I thought there was a significant lighting difference and ended up removing them. Everyone will have a different opinion on this, but I didn't think it was safe on un-lit roads, I ended up using the high beam to compensate.
