Is that link for the correct type?
I'm looking to replace my DRLs with the whitest possible at the cheapest price - any suggestions folks?
Jazzy I bought these.

Remember when you take out the bulb holder it's a quarter turn anti clockwise and the bulb simply pulls out. A pair of needle nose pliers are useful as they are fiddly.
Hope that helps.
Do you have Xenons?
Okay, if you don't have Xenons then the bulbs I sent you are definitely the right ones, I fitted them to mine a few weeks back and they are bigger than they look. They are an exact match for the spec (W21W) you have and the exact same size bulb as you have. They are tight to press fit but they work. Don't twist them or you will snap the bulb!
As you stand in front of the light turn a quarter of a turn to the right, if you could stand in the engine bay (which you can't) it would be to the left. It is stiff hence the suggestion of needle nose pliers to give you bit of grip. You will find it tough with your fingers buddy.
Just to make sure, I've purchased some mtec drl's, do I also need to get a pair of H1 osram night breakers & a pair of H7 osram night breakers if I want to get that "whitelight" look?
So our car has factory xenon headlights, will it still have a H1 in the lower housing for main beam. Sorry for all the random questions. ???
The xenons on my 595 and on my wife's Fiat 500 are bi-xenons and there is an audible clunk when they switch between low and high beam but there is also a halogen 'main beam' bulb in the lower (DRL) housing. When you use the headlight flash when the headlights are off, it is this bulb which comes on. Xenon/HID lamps take time to come up to full brightness when switched on so are not much good for flashing, where instant full illumination is required. I would imagine the same set-up is used on all the 500 variants with xenon lights.
Can anyone recommend some error free LED numberplate bulbs? I have some of these in the garage but they throw up an error. They look better though. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301983946903?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Got some Philips Diamond H7 for low beam and it is a major improvment, H1’s to come next
Apologies if I'm in the wrong place...I'm trying to decide on headlight bulbs for a new Competizione, whether to go for the standard headlights and then possibly upgrade to LEDs (if possible) or just go for the xenons. My doubts about xenons would be - how long do they last on mainly bumpy roads, the expense of replacing the bulbs and the lack of control over the height adjustment. If anyone has any thoughts, advice or experience I would be very grateful, thanks.
Might sound like a dumb question but how do you replace your high beams?
Got the door off but not able to get the green connection to come off?
From page 110 onwards, hope you sort it :)
“Existing halogen headlamp units on vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 must not be converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp for light source and lamp not compatible.”
