Big difference in the bulbs isn't there, I've just put nightbreaker unlimited bulbs in.my fogs, plus activated cornering fogsGeraout wrote:Upgraded fog lamp bulbs to Osram Night Breakers....
I noticed that the cornering function was not working so I hooked up my VCDS and recoded so that fog lamps come on on the turning side (indicator or steering wheel turn) and both fogs come on when selecting reverse gear.
I was surprised that they were not doing that as standard; being as it is specifically mentioned in the Caddy brochure.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Just swapped the DRL bulbs.
The best P21/5W bulbs I could find were Philips Vision Plus. To me there is no difference to the standard bulbs. They were supposed to be whiter and brighter.
Has anyone found a better bulb to upgrade the DRLs?

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Yep the P21/5w Philips Vision Plus are not really any different from normal bulbs. You do notice a bigger difference with the H1 and H7 though, when compared to regular bulbs. I personally use Philips Crystal Vision for a whiter look with only a slight vision compromise.
Can bus ready LED's is what you want if you are looking for a whiter light in a P21\5W.
Keep in mind that DRL's and side lights, or parking lights as they are known by in Australia, are not there to improve your vision. They are there to make your vehicle more visible to other road users.
