Hi All!

Just fitted my halo sidelights, I'm not totally pleased with them as they arnt a full circle of constant light and are more blue than the standard pre facelift xenons.

What 000k rating is recommended? Also has anyone got pictures of pre facelift headlights with upgraded bulbs?

Lastly what brand bulbs are recommended?

Nothing in that thread about upgrading the actual dipped beam xenons to match?

Sorry to make it clearer I want to upgrade my dipped beam headlight xenons so they match the halos better. Not the halo leds

Oh, it sounded like you wanted to change the LEDs in the halos!

Hey there,

If the halos are slighty more blue in colour than the main headlamps then maybe you should give a pair of 6000K bulbs a go? They shine slightly more blue and therefore may match you halo's in colour a little more.

Here is the appropriate thread:

Although this is fitted on the facelift model in this example, the same colour should appear on pre-facelift models

Good luck!
