Hi Oli
Yeah sure but let me answer your questions.
The 501 I got from HIDS Direct,
http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/501-w5w...bulbs-white-1/
crisp white, no messing around mate, very white, no blueish at all, £15 and this is the best construction and looks like electronics as well on the market. I've got them I think around a year and they are on all the time. Construction-the ''PCBs'' crossing each other and its a one solid unit, I've seen heads desoldering from the base because of heat? and falling into the headlight, here impossible.
P21W, crisp crisp white, very white

But, if you wire them as per my other thread and snapdragon's original idea and code them as LED DRL in VCDS then when they are dimmed they look a bit yellow, yeah, yellow, and thats because the material on main 4 big LEDs is yellow (crisp white when on) so when they are dimmed (Xenons ON) that yellow reflects and looks a bit yellow when compared to 8000K Xenons.
But I am thinking to put some relays (check this thread
http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7203) to keep them crisp white at all times.
P21W, the link below is for the ones I got, £27, but if you can get HSUNs then please do coz they at least have some reputation where the ones I've got are unknown brand to me because I wasn't really hoping for much and didn't think that through.

Check the pictures again, both bulbs are always on and no matter if it's night or day you can't see any yellow light whatsoever.
