Sidelight colour?

[Adamantium]

I recently had my Cupra R over at VAGTech to get it through it's MoT...
As part of the work they fitted a new sidelight to the passenger-side front headlight.
However, I noticed yesterday that the light they fitted is a different colour to the one on the other side... The new one emits a "yellowish" light, where as the existing one is a plain white (clear) light.
So my question is, what colour should the sidelights be? (as I guess it is possible the previous owner fitted "non-standard" white lights if the yellow one fitted does turn out to be the norm?)
The difference is subtle, but definitely noticeable.
Does the Cupra R have different sidelights to the normal Cupra?

Please can a few of you check so I can see if they've fitted the wrong light or not.

Cheers,
Adam.

in 5/6years the side light bulbs are bound to have been changed

theres no right or wrong bulb mate............... the fitments differ but they either fit or they dont. different quality bulbs emit different colours

dont worry about it. they only cost a few quid, buy a new pair of bulbs if it bothers you

Well, from looking at this thread; http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=72729&highlight=sidelight
it seems that the Cupra R does indeed have pure white sidelight bulbs rather than the yellowish one's...

Think i'll just buy a set... Anyone know if they're classed as "Low Beam H7" bulbs? (just looking on www.powerbulbs.co.uk - and they only seem to list two types; high beam and low beam?)

Cheers.

Exactly my point, and hence my question... "Anyone know if they're classed as "Low Beam H7" bulbs?"

So I assume that's a "no" then
Sidelights are known as W5W?

Side lights on the Ibiza are 501's are they not?

lol hence i told you that your on about something else, a low/dipped beam is not a side light

i believe w5w is 501 so yeah. pretty sure that is the fitment but only takes a minute to check
