DESCRIPTION
When driving around at night, you need to have the most perfect view of the road possible.
To allow this perfect view to be created, you need a good reliable set of headlight bulbs.
Our White Xenon Sidelight bulb upgrades give a superb daylight white light effect, designed to give your car that 4500k modern HID look without any of the cost!
The Blue Filter reduces the yellow light emitted from the headlights to produce up to 50% more usable light on the road.
The Xenon gas allows the bulbs to burn considerably brighter than a normal halogen, gas filled bulb, yet consume the same power at 12 volts, so no wiring/fuse changes are required.

They'll be fine - 6W isn't going to melt anything, even if it's in direct contact. For the future, you'd be better off using LED sidelights which are a very bright white light and run without any appreciable heat.

E.g.

Just my opinion but I replaced my side lights with LED ones from Fleabay three years ago and still going strong.

Nice clear white white to compliment the Zenon head lights.

Not sure if the blue bulbs in your picture would maybe give out a more bluer light?

Just my opinion of course! []

Yes I agree to both I think the old sidelight is too dull I'm hoping that these match my headlights
The blue is supposed to give a whiter daytime colour and as my main beam and driving lights are blueish and very bright I'm hoping to get a close match.
Just don't want to put in too hot a bulb hence my question
Thanks

Those lamps are about the look more than anything because I doubt very much if even nuclear fission colour temperature lamps (i.e. the colour temperature of the sun) is going to bring about any increase in road illumination as it alludes to in the sales blurb, at 6 watts, when bi-xenons are the equivalent of 140 watts of halogen illumination possibly more.
