hey ozhonders. i bought a pair of T10 wedge bulbs that looks exactly like these.

http://www.elecspess.com.au/products/product/17189BL2?category=PPMXSECU&

i was just wondering when i installed it on my car, its not any brighter or whiter. it looks like my old halogen bulbs, just a tad lighter. does anyone know why its not giving out the whitish/blue effect?

thanks :)

blue bulbs attract alot of attention from the authorities because its a stupid minor thing they can use to defect your whole car
gives them an excuse to pull you over than go over your whole car

stick with LED white - only way to fly =)

wait, i used to work at autobarn (blacktown)....if your after white, you NEED white LED's.

Stay away from these artic blue globes and all, there BS they dont work. just keep in mind that LED's produce a really deep colour so if you get blue its going to be a really deep blue but still bright. IMO LED's should only be used where T10 globes are used eg, center consoles, number plate lights, parkers, cluster lights, intirior lights and so on. Anything bigger then a T10 dont waste your time it looks pretty gay.

if your planning on putting white parkers let me know and ill post how my EG looks with White LED parkers and crystal vision h4 globes. looks good and doesnt attract attention from the police but still is brighter then oem

LED's come in sizes T5, T10, T20 (both single and dual filament), bayonet fitting (all styles with single or dual filament) and some companys are starting to bring out LED headlights....stay away from them haha

Anymore questions drop me a pm and ill help you out. Ed
