h7 bulbs is there any out there!! show me youre pics

[linford-quattro]

Im sure this may be a repeating question but its driving me nuts and hitting the wallet. Ive done plenty of searches but to no avail. Ive an a3 so hids are a no go with the wiper motor, I know welldonehid do them but dont fancy paying there price for some and they only go up to 6k, ive always used 8k in previous cars im not a chav just my preference I like the slight blueish tint.
so ive bought heaploads of h7 halogen bulbs trying to obtain the blueish tint but all im getting is white. Has anyone out there found any if so pics please or recommendations!!

I use these on my dads 3 series, brand is Ultra h7, they are 5000k and give a good xenon look and still give a good light output.

Well ive always had 8k hids in previous cars. So im trying to find a similar look, obviously the output will be no were near but as for looks would be nice to find some. Its like a mixture of bluey white

 

[TimWills28]

I see

I use the philips-whitevision-h7-twin in dip and main beam, and foglights. You get matching side light bulbs

 

[Scottyg]

I've got the above in my 8V A3. Much whiter than the OME and as you say you get them in a double pack. My sizes were different to what you want but same make and model.

 

[sliced]

Had a set of philips h7 in one of my old a3's, seemed to give a nice crisp white light

 

[SootySport]

You won't be able to replicate the Xenon bulb kits so that's really the end of the story, come close , yes but not the full monty.

Haven't seen the Philips Whitevision before but I think I'll give them a try, currently on Halfords Ultra which are the best light of the halogen bulbs so far.

Yeah not trying to replicate I know thats not possible. All im trying to find is if there's any bulbs thatll give a slight blue tinge

 

[linford-quattro]

Looks like youve done interior light aswell lee

 

[SootySport]

Yep interior leds from T8rups, superb. The nearest halogen H7's to you want are the Philips Diamond Vision, however they are not EU approved for road cars and light output is nowhere near good enough for night driving.

Yes all lights rear interior and door lights numberplate, footwell lights too all from T8UPS on here

Here's a bit of lane footage from last night from the dash cam, gives you an idea on low and high beam

I fitted a 55w Canbus HID kit to my wife's A3 a year or so ago, I wrapped the HT cables in steel over braid with a further aluminium over wrap with an insulation layer over. They work perfectly and have given zero issues with bulb out warnings or the wiper motor.

not heard this before!?! Ive heard about re earthing but id prefer to hear it off a few more than popping the wiper motor.

What?!?! Never heard this before. Heard about re earthing... anyone shed any light on this as i dont fancy popping my motor just because someone got lucky

 

[Dvapower]

The issue with the wiper motor is supposedly caused by the high tension cables giving off interference, the kits that don't blow the motor have close coupled ballasts that don't have long unsheilded HT cables. The steel and ally wrapping shields the HT cables and reduces interference to a minimum. Based on this sample of one I cannot say that it is a reliable fix, I can only say that it works very reliably in my case.

[millsy4002]

just ordered philips x-tremevision (the new 130% ones) and some whitevision sidelights. ill put a pic up when i get them

 

[linford-quattro]

Sweet cheers dude. I may be in luck been talking to a guy at welldone hid and I think they may be getting hold of a 8k for me. As this is the colour im after. Happy days

Nooooooooo , get Philips or Osram LED 501 sidelights .

 

[millsy4002]

the side lights were only £5 so if they aint much good ill get LED

Trups's sidelights are supposed to be bright leds seen a few pics of um, ive got his reg bulbs there decent. Yeah ill let you know dude, they saw my post above saying I weren't botherd about welldonehid due to their price and they only go up to 6k. Been been talking to them and Apprantley there willing to get me a 8k, if there true to their word then I dont mind paying there price. If you know anyone else wanting 8k it may be worth getting a list as im sure itll help speed things up aswell as get us a discount

 

[Spiezels]

Trups led sides are great. I had some of the "white look" H7's in but they're still too blue for me.

Too blue? You got any pics

Will do this eve mate. They are a lot better than many others I've seen driving around but for me personally they're still a little to blue.

I think tbh that's just the way it is, you'll never really get true white from a halogen.

As Linford Quattro says, he wants blue tinted lights, Not White. Personally I think it's daft as you loose out on the amount of light on the road and I like to see where I'm going but each to their own.

Yeah, I have seen much bluer than mine (from Trups) so maybe they'll be too white for him... Me personally though I found I just can't get the pure white I'm after. Think it's just limitations of halogen tbh.

Yep, only Xenons will give you white lights.
