Default Classic Crystal light bulb Q....

A quick question.

I've recently moved from the frosted lenses to a full crystal light pack.

My query is the side lights are standard yellow bulbs where as the headlights came with a (ice??) white bulbs. I simply wish to know whether I can get either the side light bulbs (yellow) to match the headlights (white) or match them the oother way round. I dislike the mismatched bulbs.

A simple query I think but can it be done? I've been told that this can't but over to you.

seem to think when I changed my bulbs (several years ago!) I bought a pack that included the main bulb and the side light (halfords....?)

Philips Blue vision w5w. They tend to be free when you buy from Car Bulbs from Power Bulbs - upgrade xenon car bulbs, headlight bulbs, autobulbs and autolamps from Philips, Osram and Narva. Philips X-Treme Power, Osram NightBreaker, Osram Silverstar and more.

Please, please, please do NOT be tempted to buy cheap silvered bulbs for the sidelights. The ones I took out, stamped on and threw away, produced a horrible, weak yellow light.

You can just use some #921 bulbs (They might have a different number in Europe.)

Here's a standard amber #194 (W5W in Europe)



This is a #194 clear



And this is the #921. They match the stock headlights quite nicely.



However, I have since installed HID's, so they don't match too well anymore. I need to get some LED bulbs.
