Xenon Bulbs - Which One's?

[Timmyjk7]

My xenon bulb blew this morning and I need to change it but have no ideas which brand to get. I was looking at ARC-8 from HIDS4U but until now I havent heard of them.

I just want a standard replacement bulb, nothing fancy or expensive.

I believe the clio takes D2s bulbs, in which case:

I only ever buy genuine Osram bulbs now.

D2S for xenons

Probably best to buy 2. You don't want to have different colour headlamps, like mine are[emoji38]

OEM are 4300k . I've been running 5000k which are slightly whiter than oem for the last 3 years from hidsdirect and they've been spot on . I'd seen quite a few recommendations for these on CS before I bought them.

From what I understand . The 6000k are more blue and probably light up the road less . The 5000k imo are actually better than the oem 4300k as they light up the road ahead a bit further and brighter.

Just swapped mine from 6000k to 5000k. The 5000k look great on a white car

6000k would look good on a blue car, and they aren't as ridiculous as the common 8000k ones.

You are welcome to the 6000k ones if you pay the postage
