    Whats the brand mate? Have you put power on them to see if the light is blue? If not, just put 12V on them, and shine the light on a piece of paper. If it looks white, they are fine. Most bulbs are covered in a blue tint, so you think the light that comes out will be super blue, but its not. Still white/yellow. They would have to be a really strong blue to get noticed, and if you have ever seen the xenons in some of the hsv's/beema's, you notice they are normally bluer than any other type anyway. The real problem is when you change from the 55/60W to the 110/120W. They suck twice as much juice, and are going to be alot brighter than permitted. They are the ones that will get you in trouble.

    They need to be marked to comply with ADR's.

    I have never seen this stamp, but ok. I wouldnt be too worried, police would have a hard time trying to prove it doesnt comply with ADR. You dont have to prove to them. They have to be really obvious to be noticed.

    I've got a set in ... and driving around DARK areas, they do actually light up the road a bit better.

    I've noticed in rain/fog ... they're pretty crap compared to stock, but when you're driving around in stuff like that you should have your high's on when you can.

    Driving around suburban streets or poorly lit areas, they put out a cripser cleaner light... and they're barely noticeable. You'd have to p1ss the copper off a hell of a lot for him to ping you for it, they're pretty harmless. It's like getting defected for having different colored number plate lights.... possible but very improbable.
