A classic Jon. Your're right How are your LED sidelights? Are they bright enough?

apparently not I wasted my time should have left the yellow tinted ones in from the factory that were about as useful as a nightlight in a cave.

:orb_lol:

:rofl:

What??? I lied ! I didnt take the picture? I air brushed the lights in cos they wernt bright enough did I ?? Come on Fella. What can you see? Come and park next to me and I'll show you. Look here. Same bulbs:

:rofl:

I didn't say anything to that effect. :confused: All I was trying to say is that in a photograph with the majority of things dark and two small light areas, the smaller light areas will overexpose! It would happen with ordinary sidelights, a torch, a candle or anything! Evidently the various different sets of LED sidelights I've used over the years have all been inferior. I'm not going to argue about this anymore.

Arguing a side... I did it!!! I managed to get my led bulbs fitted this afternoon

Thanks for all the help guys!

Anyway in the interests of science I took a before and after photo!

Old crappy yellow bulbs

Much improved!!

They look so much better next to the xenon lights, I've just been out now it's dark for a proper test.. and it's safe to say I'm well happy with these!

Now for the Philips indicator bulbs and some xenon look mainbeam and fogs

Oh and as it was a nice day and the car was pretty grubby... I gave it a clean and waxed it

I've fitted another pair of the W5W led sidelights in the map reading lights and a 9 led festoon in the main interior light. Looks well cool when you unlock it at night.

Might get 2 more festoons, one for the boot and another for the glove box.

Cheers for the offer but i want white.

They are a bugger to do. You just cant get into them like you can the sidelights. My dealer did mine (No charge) They had to take the headlight units out!!!

Yeah I must admit they do look a fair bit tricker... Just as well I don't have the

Where did you get your LED bulbs? Those ones seem fairly bright.

Well....We threw some light on it for him!!

It took a while before I saw the light . . .

Try this:

It's all so clear now. I can see it without clouded judgment.

Ok, I'll stop now before someone kicks me.

A wise move mate Regards

Will fitting LED sidelights to standard headlights cause "bulb failiure" warning to activate everytime you put lights on:confused:

i got all my LEDs on powerbulbs.co.uk

I didn't think powerbulbs sold LED's,I certainly can't find 'em.
