Good side light bulbs to match 5500K HID KIT

[KyL3]

Purchased some LED side light bulbs about 6months ago but they have started flickering and going off. Anyone know of any good quality ones that will match the colour of the 5500 kit? Cheers

These bulbs are very very good.
Had them in my car for over a year now and they match my Xenon headlights perfectly and they are very bright. The first picture is just my sidelights.

This second picture s my xenon lights and my sidelights on

You got the exact bulbs ive just posted up mate? Yours 5000K aswell?

Yes they are the exact same and i have no idea what my Xenons are.
They are standard Renault xenon headlights and i put these sidelights in.

There is a slight problem and that is trying to fit them into the hole as they are slightly bigger and don't just slide in. You need to be gentle and take your time with it. The harder side to do is the drivers side due to the A/C pipe and things.

I have not done my main beam as of yet and it still has standard bulbs in there.
Im looking at 80W LED Cree bulbs for my main beam (Full Beam)

Don't bother. I've been there and tested most LED applications for a car and there simply isn't a single LED replacement which can travel far enough to compete with conventional halogen bulbs for a main beam, let alone a xenon gas filled bulb (not a HID) like an OSRAM Nightbreaker.

LEDs are very good at dispersing a lot of light at short ranges, but for distance they are simply not good enough as a direct bulb replacement.

I might just change my Main Beam bulbs for some Osram ones like below then

 

[McGherkin]

That's certainly what I'd recommend.

Ive got these on the disco, very good bulbs!

Is the main beam fitment H1 or H7 then?

 

[McGherkin]

H7

 

[MarcB]

H7

We looked at the bulbs on a 172 CUP with standard headlight and we found that
Side Lights = 501
Dipped Beam = H7
Full Beam = H1

Even looking on ebay it also gives you this

And Renault also state a H1 bulb on standard headlights

KyL3 has a full fat, which will have projectors, so H7

I got these led lights and they were alot bigger than I expected. They have snapped the clips on the side lights. Some reason I think it's the wrong bulb. Any way to replace that on the headlight?
