Substitute to Xenons?

[gr1340]

Hi all,

Have ordered a racing blue R27 with climate, auto lights/wipers and electric mirrors but have not gone for xenons.

Are there any decent bulbs that can recreate that beautiful bluish glow from the xenons?

I know you can get HID kits but was after a slightly cheaper option (sub £50).

Any ideas

PIAA do some good bulbs but i don't think they are cheap

You can get HID kits for £65 nowadays. But you should have gone for factory fit tbh.

as above, xenon "kits" can be illegal and fail MOTs, due to incorrect fitment, light etc etc etc

the bulbs that you see on ebay with "get that xenon look" are technically illegal as well, as you are not allowed to have coloured bulbs on the road (which they are, just painted blue)

i went through a phase of buying the next best thing, cost me too much and never got there. true xenon fitted bulbs, factory standard, are the only way youll be truly happy.

Sorry to thread hijack but where can u get bright side light for a 172. I was parked opposite a shop last night, when I started up the lights flicked on and it doesn't look right with yellow side lights and xenon headlights.

I just took the sidelights out, problem solved.

Alternitivly you could get some white LED side lights.
