bought the Osram NB for GBP 19.19 - after conversion with rate 5.9 is around RM113. free shipping plus free Philips Blue Vision W5W bulbs.... i think this is for the sidelight but maybe not compatible with our 308.

Philips BV W5W selling at powerbulbs for GBP 9.95 whereas Lelong.com selling for RM27 plus shipping... can still make a couple of bucks back smile.gif

ic...ic... didn't read the manual. anyway, not going to use it since it's bluer white. will post in lelong.

just to update u guys, changed both stock philips to osram NB over the weekend. received it after 10 days from powerbulbs. definitely much brighter or as some suggested, illumination is great. coverage is further and worried it may be too distracting to opposite car... but don't expect it's going to be 90% brighter since the stock bulbs are quite good already. unless i have a device to measure, my opinion would be an increase of 50% but definitely whiter by 10% as claimed.

The bulb might be blue'ish in colour however it still emits the standard bulb colour, just a bit brighter that's all. You should keep it, never know when any of your interior lights might need replacement.

talking about number plate lights, it seems both bulbs are located slightly further apart. the light projected not covering the whole number plate especially the middle area. in fact, can't see the numbers clearly since the middle portion not lighted up completely. any of u notice this?
