Default Not blue - just less yellow.

I am a little apprehensive about the Nightbreakers as they have a blue tint. I would prefer plain (uncoated) bulbs giving out the white-yellow light.

I might be tempted to go in for xenons if I can get them in the <4200K light spectrum. Does anyone have an idea of a reliable source for xenons in this town.

Cheers and thanks in advance,

They are pathetic in the rains.Have to change again before this monsoon
After having checked around, I was not able to get 'Extreme Power' as most guys stocked only some blue coloured bulbs from Philips that screamed "4300K" on their packing. I was however able to get night-breakers and on checking them out, found that they were not blue or anything just less yellow.

I have fitted them (a pair of H1s for the high beam and a pair of H7s for the low beam) and the light has improved. I got the bulbs at Sproket on Dharam Karan Rd. Ameerpet. All 4 bulbs set me back by about Rs.3K.

I am keeping my fingers crossed about their performance in the rains.

Cheers,
