Changing the Halogen to Legal white

[steroydz]

Has anyone tried changing the yellow stock lights for both the high & low beams in their Mazda 6 to something white? Will it be road legal to change the same to something much whiter but not xenon. Just halogen bulb change. Galadari charges 120Dhs per bulb!!!

White light is legal no problem at all. If you switch to xenon make sure you buy expensive ones not 400-500 dhs deira style that have incorrect road alignment and will make it illegal. WHite light shouldnt cost more than 40-50 dhs for Osram and GE 55w lamps.

thnx Sandeep...btw would u knw the specs of the original stock high & low beams of the Mazda 6 ('07) which give off the yellow light? And what specs should I be looking/asking for to get white light similar to the extreme left one in the picture which shows the stock vs halogen vs xenon

I believe its got to do with colour temperature and the light must be white without a blueish hue to it to avoid cops from fining you. Also guys at Galadari told me that should I change the bulbs from the original stock then the car will not pass during registration renewal!! And that worries me!
