Hi all! Fairly new to these forums. Anyhow! I have Phillips DiamondVision H1/H7/HB4 which are rated at 5000k. I've just bought some Osram 501s that are rated at 4000k but the colour difference is still too much for my liking. :( I've always been wanting to avoid LED sidelights as I've heard many people have Canbus issues and whatnot but I've finally decided to take the plunge and grab myself some LEDs. :) Does anyone know which brand 501s I should be gunning for and does anyone have pictures of them?
I've came to realise LED 501s are my best bet at matching my 5000k DV headlights. My car is a 2011 FL FR 2.0L CR TDI. Many thanks in advance guys! :)
 
I have partsulike led sidelights in mine, pre facelift though so they are less fussy canbus wise. No problems with the side lights so far and they are nice and white. My oem bulbs are very yellow haha
 
Sorry to change subject but aren't these off-road use only? Was looking at a pair myself.

Strictly speaking they are, but I've both followed and been followed by police cars and I'm yet to be pulled for them. The light output is marginally lesser to that of your standard halogens but if you're looking for a brilliant, crisp white HID effect headlight without having to fiddle with HID kits, they're definitely worth a look bud. :D

I'm divided between risking these or having the osrams. I'll have to look more into it, cheers for the reply :D
