    Well yeah you would be mad to buy the side lights from power bulbs.
    Thats why i just get them thrown in free when i order my H4's

    I bought some bulbs off them this morning with the discount code,for my car.

    The just sent me an email saying that they will give me a free set of those Philips white vision bulbs with my order.



    Hello,

    Thank you for your email.

    Unfortunately we are unable to change the free gift to the OSRAM Cool Blue intense, however we are able to amend the order to the Philips White Vision

    This is almost an identical product and the only real difference between the two is the brand. Please see link: http://www.powerbulbs.com/product/philips-whitevision-w5w-twin

    Yup thats always the way. As i said previously, Philips Blue Vision Ultra are the color match for the H4/H7 cool blue intense,. Thats what they will throw in free instead of the standard side lights.

    Usually some form of Philips Bulb thrown in. They must cost them a shed load less than osrams because ive never seen them swap out the free ones to an Osram, always to a Philips

    The one thing that is being omited is the reflector in the lights, no amount of good bulbs will overcome a cr*p reflector. I had this with my 650 Deauville, tried every bulb known to Halfords and eBay. Still I could see how dirty or clean my front wheel was, that's about as much good they were. The

    Spent the late afternoon having to strip down the bike just to fit the 5w sidelight bulbs.

    Ive taken pics of all 3 bulbs so you can see the difference in the colour and brightness..
    I left the oem bulb in on the right side of the pics to show the difference between oem and aftermarket bulbs.
    Osram Cool Blue Intense seem to match up the best to the H7 Cool Blue Intense.So thats what Im going with.:)
