If you look at the packaging you will notice that they are identical. I had "super" white W5W and "hyper" white reverse bulb but they are the same: not white. Maybe a white/green/yellow at best... Too bad Philips only produces those white bulbs in H-socket that color in W5W would be nice!

I understand you find this hilarious, but why dont you stick with your $200 LED.s that you are so happy about and quit bothering everyone else?!

and btw, Polargs are a Halogen bulb, wich means no color changing issues.

Yeah, the hyper white and super whites won't change color, but aren't quite matched for HIDs and bi-xenon also.....especially if you're **** about color matching like I am. I've got some pics of them somewhere when I had them on if you want me to dig them up Vic.

Polarg Hyper White brows. Was whiter in person and my heads aren't that blue. Light shades are tough to take with camera.

Yeah it is pretty easy. The hardest part is getting the new ones out of the pack.
