Will do Mark

Do they need coding or anything? :) I've got led front side lights that came with the car when I bought it.

Not from what I've read on here Leon

 

JakeBlade has them and he never said they did anyway

Well, got the bulbs fitted.

 

Must say, its not as hard to do as I feared, although the space is limited to get your fingers in.

 

I used a mirror to see, and once you know where the bulb holder is, you can do it blind.

 

The passenger side came out fine, the driver side I used a pair of pliers to gently grasp the bulb holder and with a slight wiggling it came out.

 

Took a picture last night, and will take a comparison one tonight and pop them up to show the difference.

 

So far no bulb warning lights, but time will tell. Fingers crossed anyway :)

Ok, here are the pics as promised...

No better from a lighting perspective obviously, but from a cosmetic point of view a huge improvement

 

Very happy with them :)

Much better

Just the fogs and DRL's to do now.... Unless I missed them.

The DRLs are horribly yellow on Wayne's Superb...I suspect yours are the same

What bulb and how do you fit them?

P21W's, pop the grill out next to the light (squeeze the centre two fins together - the side near the middle of the car) and flip the light out.

All covered in the handbook.

nice lights there damo look nice and cool

Decent result Damo. Where did you order them from?

Just an ebay seller Steve

Came all the way from China, and only a fiver for 10!

Yes Chris, the DRL's are horribly yellow indeed :(

I read a few threads on here about DRL upgrades not working out for people

ILOVEMYSUPERB has got them, and Ive PM'd him to see if they are still working fine with no bulb out warning

Try the Cree version instead...They are brighter and better made

Mine are a couple of years old now so the links no longer work, 

 

I bought the type you posted above first and they lasted just 12 months and were better than the std ones... but NOWHERE near as good as the CREE ones I replaced them with, get CREE bulbs that have a few SMD (LED) around the outside edge as well - these will held illuminate the reflector inside the light.

 

As previously posted these are what I have fitted:

Ha, forgot you'd already posted that...

 

And in my thread as well  :blush:

I've got LED side lights too, they are a perfect match.
