PIAA Led sidelight kit

[Tfsi_Mike]

Ordered a set of these. Not the best value for money but look much better than the yellow candles I have at the minute.

Has anyone fitted these? Is it a straightforward job?

Thanks

Plug and play. Only slightly difficult bit is getting them to fit as they're marginally bigger, but that's it.

Hi guys have the piaa side lights and think they r superb no probs at all, yes not cheap but they look brill and plug n play

Although I have the CarGym bulbs in my front vents I have these bulbs in my sidelights. They are also plug and play, just as bright and look and feel more robust. Also they are a hell of a lot cheaper without sacrificing quality or appearance imo.

I think someone came up with a resistor fix for this as when using LED's the ECU saw low voltage and assumed bulb had blown.

I want some blue bulbs but do feel for the hideous expense the money would be better put to 'proper' performance mods.

Which delivery option did you go for? $25 3 - 6 days was the one I chose cheaper one was upto 3weeks i think!

 

[Mr Diet]

I haven't had a problem with the Ultraleds.
Also, I seem to remember waiting an absolute eternity for the PIAA bulbs, I mean weeks and I paid for the supposidly speedy service.

Arrived this morning To my uk adress thought, im home in 2 weels so pics to follow

Im struggling to get it in place as you say its bigger. How far in did you push it in?
Ive fitted one, going to take a picture tonight to show the difference.

 

[rllmuk]

Can't remember how far but one side fitted more snug that the other. You only need to push it as far as the LED part becomes visible fully from the front.
