Hi everyone, I'm Eugene/Elijah, new to the Mini forum, I've got a 76 Leyland Mini still running what is potentially its original headlamps, currently looking for a new pair of lightbulbs that still has a warm light colour to them, I found a few potential ones like the Philips Ultinon classic, Osram Vintage HL, and Classic car LEDs. Just wondering if any of yous would recommend a specific LED headlamp bulb that still has a warm white colour to them(vintage feel). Amittedly, I am a little spoiled by really good and daylight-like modern headlamps as I've had the chance to try L405 Range Rovers with matrix-LED and a few nice stuff coming from Germany, but It would be great if anyone could recommend a new pair of bulbs that could comes close to them while still maintaining the 'classicness' of it.

Last year, I convinced myself that I ought to replace my headlamp bulbs with LEDs, but before I got around to buying them, I won a pair in a motor orientated raffle.

 

After two months, they are going into next year's raffle.

 

I can't pin-point anything specifically wrong with them, they are different and just not as nice to drive behind as the incandescent filaments that I have been used to

I've replaced all my bulbs with warm LEDs.
Except for the flashers and the lights at the front end

I like the old fashioned fade in and out of the incandecents, and I jave not found 'warm' bulbs that provide better light than the filaments at the front...

New LED products for old cars are increasingly available... maybe soon.
