Anything with a blue tinge will have reduced light output as the blue filter takes some light away.
Nightbreakers are excellent though. Halfrods super brights also are good when they have BOGOF offers.

There ya go. Nightbreakers;

They have great visibility and easily the best bulbs I've ever used. Quite white with minimal blue to them. I did have some "blue tint" but the visibility was utter pants, the previous owner is to blame for that.
I'm still using "yellow" side lights, I really should replace them.

Please excuse the:
Epic gay Mugen sticker on the bonnet that the previous owner put there, Missing drivers side indicator (I'm currently cleaning it, it has a hole in the side that made it fill with water and green up), and the general state of the front bumper.. I want a new one :(

Osram Nightbreakers are good James. I had them in my old car and the difference was night and day. There wasn't any yellowness it was all white.

One is OEM and one is Osram nightbreaker:

i have the halfords super duper things in mine and they are bum droppings but having said that the headlights in the bag o bum droppings were bum droppings too so perhaps thats a 4th gen thing.
