FAQ : Anyone Wanting White Lights

[char_baby]

Haha thats good. I didn't know they have stopped doing that colour! Strange, certainly a head turner. Think of yours as a rare species lol.

[duffy_90]

Yeh i cant seem to get it on the website i think that gold looking colour took over from it

 

[GazEP3]

Hope these are good, just bought 2 pairs to go in my new Cupra headlights

 

[Michael Andaz]

Just ordered mine

Thanks

 

[Gahhh]

Fantastic thread, very helpful.

Are these bulbs all road legal?

 

[char_baby]

Yep, all E Marked.

 

[Gahhh]

Thanks, I'll order them shortly

Does anyone know which smoked side repeaters fit our ibiza's? Had a quick look on ebay and can't find any specific for MK5's.

I'm sure SC16V mentioned in a post that when he went for his service, he was told by the bloke in the garage that the bulbs were in fact illegal? Either way, I wouldn't worry about it...

 

[VRSLOZ]

That was Char mate, the tech said they gave a tiny hint of blue because the colour of the bulb reflected off the light casing but should be ok.

Thing I did was keep all the labels for the bulbs in my handbook and if (never did) I did ever get pulled over I would of shown them to the police to prove they are E-Marked and legal

 

[char_baby]

Yeah that was me, still have them in. He did tell me that they were illegal but i told him they were all e marked and actually produced white. Then he said i shouldn't get pulled over for them anyway.

I do the same as SC16v though and keep all the packages in my boot incase i do get pulled.

 

[Alan Partridge]

Meh, I was close - kinda!

Aye, you'd be the unluckiest person going if you got pulled you for them. I'll be buying some as soon as the dealers give me a date.

Just seen this set on ebay if anyones looking:

1x Ultra Sidelight bulb Set

For less than £15!

 

[nightflight]

Bookmarked, hopefully there'll still be some left come payday at the end of the month, already spent this months mod budget on some underseat storage boxes and birthdays

 

[Alan Partridge]

Stupid question but I'll need two sets of the H7 bulbs for the dipped/main beams, right?

 

[VRSLOZ]

If you have twin headlights you will indeed need 2 sets

 

[Chris_a_73]

Don't know if it's the same for Mk5, but it's H1's for main beam, H7 for dipped for Mk4. H7 are dipped bulbs, not main.

 

[VRSLOZ]

It's H7 for both in the MK5

 

[Alan Partridge]

Cheers, pal.

I've just bought two sets of the 501 bulbs and two sets of H7 bulbs from eBay - can't wait to get them fitted!

 

[Chris_a_73]

Okay, I stand corrected!
