Having had my HID kit now for a few months, I've come to the conclusion that the yellow looking side lights look crap. I want to buy some White coloured side lights. Does anybody know where I can get these from? Also I presume the fitting is H1?

Nah, fitting isn't H1. I dont know what it is, but I run the LED kind*. They look nice and white which matches the HIDs much better. *I say i run LEDs but i only have one at the minute as the other has expired (just 4 months or so ago ). So it's half white and half yellow.

But if you never use them, what's the point?

On a similar note, I'd like to replace my yellowy fog light bulbs with some of those "HID look" halogens. Yes - I know they are not really HID. Yes - I know they are not as bright as normal. That's fine, I never use my fogs. But what fitment are the bulbs?
I think there h1 but not 100% sure without looking

....have always used the philips "blue vision" W5W sidelight bulbs I did try a set of them LED things & they were utterly useless, almost zero light output, sure thay are white, but not of any use ! they look well chavvy blue, but when fitted to the car, you can't see this & they light up very white, so they match the HID's I would also recommend you ditch the shite orange indicator lamps for some mirror finished ones, such that the whole front end light cluster all looks white & clean Taz

100% behind Taz here, the Silvatec bulbs make one hell of a difference to your indicator lenses. No fried egg look.

Depends if you use the fog lights in fog. White foglights are pretty useless. In this case the yellow light works far better. I was thinking of going the otherway and amber tinting the lenses, possibly because I seem to live in a fogbank. Something to do with the middle of Ireland, peat bogs and atrocious roads.
