I am in a real debate here as to which bulbs to buy :|

My car currently has one PIAA extreme white and one standard Halogen bulb (so the car looks rubbish at night :frown: ).

The PIAA is a great colour very white/slightly blueish and gives good light on the road but now I am tied between the Phillips +80% brand and now these Osrams??????

The Osram says +10% whiter light but that doesn't sound much? The PIAA's are VERY expensive.

Help???

Yes a HID bulb needs to be contained in a projector lens for proper use.

I had PIAA's in me Ibiza. They gave off a real cool ice blue look, like on Merc's.

I recommend 8)
