Default Main beam upgrade
Hi all

Is there an accepted upgrade to my main beam lamps (MY01)they look a bit yellow compared to the brightness of the xenons.

Cheers

David

I have 100w bulbs in there but they are also yellow...

Especially after upgrading my sidelights to LEDs

I've not bothered, but I can understand how the blue-tint bulbs can help that.

The subtle ones, not the silly ones!

Do the 100w bulbs not melt the plastic reflectors?

They'll yellow them eventually, but not melt, as such.

My philips 100w rallye bulbs have been fine for 5 years.

I can understand 100w bulbs for full beam (must fit mine), but why bother changing just for the colour?
Surely it's never going to be on when someone else will be looking at it?



.... or are you an ex BMW driver?
