Anyone tried the Philips Diamond Vision?
Im looking to update my headlights. I recently upgraded them from stock halogens to SilverStars, and they put out alot more light and its more of a brilliant white, but after replacing the parking lights with a set of piaa xstreme white bulbs, the headlights look yellow in comparison. Im looking for something that puts out good light output and has a blue hue to it. Ive been looking around and have heard good things about the Philips brand of H7 bulbs and was thinking of giving the Diamond Vision 5000K(cost about $60) a try but dont know much about them... if they put out a blue or purple hue, if the light output is compareable or better than stock? Please dont everyone just insist on me upgrading to HID's because I dont have $300 to spend on an upgrade kit. Thank you in advace.
If you have suggestions for other brands I would be happy to hear them. Pics are appreciated. Thanks

seriously,
there should be numerous threads about the different types of headlight bulbs and their color output throughout the MBWorld forums.
Do a quick search for "blue white headlights bulbs", skip all the HID threads, and Bi-X threads. There should be plenty of pictures posted too. Although the old MBWorld server from 2001-2006 might just give you a bunch of RED X Boxes. Believe me people have been doing this light bulb thing since the W203 first came out, so there's lots to read on here.... search the forum, and I'm sure you'll find the right thread.
