Thank you

I guess you mean the LED DRL bulbs? You can get good LED sidelight bulbs though!

I've been through quite a few of the LED sidelight bulbs just can't manage to find any that both last. I have just recently put some in, but now the drivers side are starting to go out and they will be just 1 LED left on.

I got mine from HIDs direct, I think they were near £20, but they've lasted a year so far and no issues, I do quite a lot of night driving too.

Nice one thank you.

When these totally go I think I'll order some from HIDs Direct.

I think it's these

Brilliant!

Being white do they still have a tint of blue in them or not?

 

[Jarre]

A very slight tint but you get that with all LED bulbs unfortunately.

If you've just got standard dipped bulbs then the MTEC sidelights/Philips blue vision/Osram cool blue may be a better option for you. None are blue as they may suggest, but they provide a less yellow light than standard sidelight bulbs, so would match in better with osram nightbreakers or whatever

Nice one thank you

can those Led's be used in your side lights? My mk2 leon uses a different tyoe of bulb design for the reg plate.

Yeah I linked them for the sidelights

Reg plate bulbs are festoon type.

Cheers i realised that was what you'd done after i'd posted it.i've got some Led towers in now which are pretty bright, but if they go i'll be giving these a go. Are they really bright ? Like almost Xenon bright?

 

[Jarre]

This is them with my 6000k xenon bulbs.

Lost my locking nut for my bolts! And tried to fit my spacers, FAIL!

Is there any LED bulbs for the reg plate that last? With dieing?

That's exactly I want mine to look like. I have already got the HID kit in with a tint of blue want the sidelights to match

Looks very nice, I wish I waited to get that shape instead of mine.

They do look good, they'd look even better if i could get rid of my condensation...

Have you got HIDs fitted? I've got some headlight covers I no longer need which have a hole drilled through to allow the bung to fit in creating a seal, which should stop moisture getting in

just pm'd you jarre

Well fitted my rear parking sensors today, managed to do it without taking the bumper off, and if i may say so myself i think they look very OEM fitment.!!! The colour match is spot on two, the one bit i found a right pain was having to run the wire though the tailgate to tap into the reverse light..

also fitted a Metal Fr badge to the front lower grill, took the centre grill and surround out but in the process of giving it a good tug!!! Snapped BOTH side tab holders...doh!!!

So its now held in with screws and faith.
