If you don`t want led`s then philips bluevision are good, about 4000k and good brightness. I`m using them at the moment.
Or if you do want led`s this type are the whitest I`ve found, about 6000k.

sweet thread dude, where would i get the philips side lights from??
the link that deano put up look ok..
Is there any Bluish bulbs i could get on low budget that would match the bluish Led sidelight look?
Thanks
Thanks
I`ve tried them, they are`nt quite as white as this type: clicky
Tried probably a dozen different types of led sidelight to find pure white, but I gave up.. they are all slightly blue. even tried amber ones for a different look!

Guys, I don't want to sound like an absolute knob.
But these lights are different to the ones on my dad's old Merc. How do I get to the sidelights out?

They are very awkward to change the first time, but they may not be so bad on your 1.2.
This is a drivers side headlight (I think your single headlights are the same), the sidelights are behind the triangular cover on the right... see it?
You need to move the metal clip out of the way, then the cover hinges on the two plastic clips then comes away. Two wires go into the sidelight bulb holder but try not to pull on these!
Instead try to grip the bulb holder with a finger and thumb and pull.
I would say they are a good match for a 6000k HID.
Here's a pic of one sat in the front of my Honda Blackbird with a 6000K H7 HID behind it

Hey newbie here, I bought my cupra last week,
& went to change the side light bulbs today to find i cant even fit my hands in the space lol
any advice here peeps or is a visit to halffrauds & payin the £3 extra for fitting a winner in this case? lol
also is it possible to just buy the sealing cover for the sidelight/indicator as i seem to have one missing?
thanks for any help!

Hi, i've just changed mine today and i found if you took the indicator out first then tugged the wires, the sidelight popped out, then you have just enough room to push the sidelight back in.
And for the sidelights i bought a pair off eBay, they've got a slight tint of blue to them, as i haven't found any totally white ones, i think they all have a slight blueish colour to them

Do you reckon it would be easier for me to remove the entire light unit? If so, how would I go about doing that?
Haven't gotten round to looking at anything today.

sorry bout the delay my friend...got em off a powerseller on the bay, ~£20 with free sidelights
the Bluevision 4K are very white with a tiny hint of blue...i just didn't want my whole cluster to come out blue like you see on most cars out there now. You won't get the same effect as original Xenons unless your headlights are sitting behind a lamp-like lense used in projector/angel-eye design headlights

you need to pull of the black adaptor on the back of the bulb...then you unclip the metal clasp and the bulb slides out
