Driving me potty this... :D

I'm after H7 bulbs that give a nice white light ... so far have tried:

OSRAM Nightbreakers H7 ... too yellow

MTEC 4750k H7 ... too blue

Any suggestions?? ... want them to match my white LED sidelights!

I have used the Mtec 4350k superwhites before which were fine in my old roc with halogens but now have xenon with H7 cornering lights and have used Xtec SuperWhites as recommended on here. Suppose it depends what colour LED's you are running. I don't have that problem now and am just trying to match the xenon colour as my DRL's are now the round ones, centre front then the LED's on the corners are just on at night with the xenons. The Xtec H7 cornering lights are in the main headlight unit and are a close match to the xenon colour

A few people have said the MTEC 4350k's are very good ... so will give them a try first. Thanks :D

I must be in the minority that I prefer more light on the road than a white light. I've used different Mtec bulbs in the past and yes they give a whiter light but they a rubbish for driving at night. Truly awful.

Can't agree more. I had the mtec 4750k... they were rubbish at night - couldnt see far! And it's not legal anyway (only found out recently :shrug: when trying to find a replacement due to one of the mtec bulbs exploded in my headlamp :grumpy:)
