They're ok. But still yellow looking. Only the light on the road is white. Also, it's directed forward. Not directed forward and to the sides. worth the money just as a spare or something. But not really good if you want pure white lights. Ordered some Osram this morning though

Yeah the osrams and the rings aren't blue-white, they are whiter than the standard bulbs but not as blue-white as the blue cheaper bulbs, i suppose though its personal preference in which to use, i went for the osrams which are a bit whiter and a lot brighter.

Iv been using them with my led sidelights for quite a few months now and havent had any problems (touch wood) and look perfectly fine.

I was thinking about an HID kit but they cost too much and it would never be road legal even though the LC (not sure about the X3) has self leveling headlights.

Might be due to my side light bulbs but they're not blue, just white. So I have no idea why there's blue coming through.
