[Matthew]

Hi, I'm looking to replace the yellow looking sidelight bulbs in my 182

Dont want any LED ones, just some Phillips bright and white looking bulbs, not tacky blue looking ones though.

Thanks alot

They're 5W I think. W5W is the type. A Google might bring up types of bulbs.

These are the ones I was thinking of.

Top man!

Are these little bad-boys bright white ones do you think?

Dont want some "yellowey" ones lol

No idea on that, and it's top woman! LOL. They look whitish in the pack. Try just searching for W5W in eBay?

All I keep finding are BlueVision ones by Philips.

Yeah, I just put a post-it on my MOT certificate to remind me to put them back in.

It depends what you want, I didn't want to waste time and money because at the I wasn't sure which ones would looks similar to the xenons and now prefer the look of just xenons anyway.

Phillips blue vision.. Look white but still a little orange...

Looks good with osram nightbreakers imo.

These are THE BEST led sidelights mate IMO :approve: I have tried loads of different sorts inc bluevion philips but these are perfect match for the xenons, pure white with great light spread round reflector not like normal led sidelights .

A lot of MOT stations will fail cars with anything other than normal white or amber sidelight bulbs. I took my nissan in last week and had to get rid of the white LED's in mine and put standard bulbs in. It got an advisory because of that as well.

I wanted LEDs in mine, but read on some American site that they can't withstand the high temperatures produced by other (i.e. filament) bulbs in the same headlight unit. Is this true? I got some Phillips Extreme full beam bulbs in the end which came with a free pair of Blue vision sidelight bulbs. They're not as white as the xenons, but whiter than standard orangey/yellowy sidelights.

Leds in ph2 is in seperate pod to main headlight so work fine mate .
that only applies on cars where sidelight is situated close to main h4 or h7 .

iirc the sidelights are housed in the same section (use the same reflector) as the full beam bulbs? But having said that, even if they are, I guess the full beams aren't on enough to harm a set of LED sidelights.
