Obviously these weren't going to be real xenon technology but being really cheap at 5.99 for the headlights and the sidelights, i thought there were worth a punt. Both headlights and sidelights were supposed to have a slight blue tint. Well the bulb does have a blue tint when you look at it, but when you actually switch your headlights on, there is only a slight blue reflection. Not very impressive. The advert also claimed that the light was more "white" looking that conventional bulbs and would burn 50% brighter. Bullshit. Can anyone recommend anywhere to but the sort of bulbs i'm looking for, for my VTR? Also what brand would you go for? Something with a nice but subtle blue tint, that does have more of a white "ice" shine to it that the yellowish tint you get from normal headlights.
Cheers.

I bought Osram nightbreakers, these are the best bulbs I have had. I dont think you can buy just bulbs that will give you the true Xenon look your wanting.
If you have angels fitted I have some Ultra Xenons for sale which are the only bulbs I have found that will give a similar white colour that you get with LED's in the angels themselves.
