Rear Lights- LEDs Purchased

[n1ff]

Hey peeps,

I'm thinkin of tinting the red bit of my rear lights so thought I might as well go for LED brake and rear lights.

I found this page on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/24-RED-LE...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2eb5457e6f
What u guys think??

Also, why does no one ever tint from the inside?!!? Was thinkin of doing this so the tint didn't weather and it would be easier to follow lines.

I promise this post is really interesting!!

Sorry I can't give advice with regards to the LEDs but I'm guessing people don't tint from the inside as the outside of the light would still be red.

...feel a bit silly now.

Any advice on LEDs in general mate?!?! I looked at other posts and they all had some form of square cluster

PS. I realise this thread is basically me talking to myself..

 

[bendohhh]

Nah sorry, any advice I could give would just be me making assumptions rather than facts. Like cheap eBay LEDs often blow after a short time so quite often aren't worth the bother but those ones might be alright, I have no idea.

Not a fan of those other lights.

These seem to be 35w, I thought leons should be 55?!

 

[Gav-FR150]

yup just main driving bulbs... there h7, 8000k they look sweet

 

[Gav-FR150]

hids come mostly in 35w... but there 3 times brighter than standard 55w halogen, u can get them 55w too tho but i just always stick with 35w hids

 

[bendohhh]

55w HIDs will probably be far too bright for other road users too due to mk1 leons almost never having projectors.

gonna order some now!!!! just bought some subtle tint lamin-x too

Any chance of some piccies to help me choose between 6000k and 8000k?!?!

I realise my cheek levels are ridiculously high!

The mk1 Leon is not canbus, just get any old set

 

[Gav-FR150]

I bought canbus anyway just incase the price was the same, either way no errors or problems

get 6000K as 8000k is too purpley if you get what i mean.

Second that, the VAG cars of this age can have any lamp in them as long as it is rated 12-14V. Not a CANBUS system.
