Osram Cool Blue 501s

[harmeetsingh]

Hey all,

Has anyone tried these? Or have any pics? I have osram nightbreakers which are great on my IS250 now but need some matching sidelights.

It says they have a blue tint - just want to know how much of a tint it is as I don't want them to be too blue!

they are rubbish.

buy a pair of 'Xenon white' LEDS, great wee addition for about £10

Ahhh when you say rubbish do you mean they are just like normal? I mean are they any whiter atall? I don't want anything too blue!

I don't have an IS220/250, but I know from the IS200 that LED sidelights don't actually create any light at all if you get individual LEDs, just a tiny dot of light. If you want to be seen with just sidelights on then you'll need a powerful multi-LED sort of thing at the least, if you go down the LED route.

Hi Spikes!

That's great to hear - I didn't want to go down the LED route so wanted to just get clear white halogen sidelights.

So the Philip's Blue Vision aren't even blue?!

I think I'll try an Osram Cool Blue first as I have Nightbreaker headlights, if they turn out to be too blue I'll go for the Philips!

i would imagine the osram would be the same colour as the philips, if your happy with your osram headlight bulbs then use their sides

let us know how you get on :)
