Best LED sidelights

[eg-iain]

Hi people,

Basicly looking for some led sidelights that are not the horrible blue that you see going about, just a very bright white. I dont know if anyone knows the best ones to look for and where i can get them, seen loads on ebay but thought you might not know what your getting till you try it..

So any help would be fantastic

These are the badboys I use, been in there 6 months now. They're surprisingly bright actually.
Thought these might be of some help to you:

Though the set MRBILLYUK is using look pretty good actually.

McGherkin is the guy to ask. He posted a thread about lighting upgrades not that long ago.

I need a replacement bulb and I took the old one out and it's an H1, not a push fit (172 cup) So I dunno what's up with that.

Ive just fitted these, and think they're brilliant, good light of them aswell

Cree led. Best on the market, about £20 I think mine were, basically have a projector lense on them. By far the brightest and whitest. The cheap Crap that most use last about a week before they blow, get what you pay for

Bought a chinese pair through eBay a few weeks ago but am yet to fit them. No doubt knuckles will be peeled on the drivers side.

You're special.

IMO they're too bright for sidelights. And I don't agree that they're the whitest either. My Q5's aren't the whitest LEDs going, it depends on what you get.

 

[meekings14]

They are a tad bright in fairness, but they look the smartest set against dual optics as it's 2 clean bulbs rather than scattered light, each to their own I guess

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

I'm running Cree and they are much better than normal led sidelights. As mentioned they are whiter too

Paid £10

 

[Brad.shepp]

As above I would go with the CREE ones can't get any better for £10 IMO

 

[meekings14]

If the thing works their Crees

 

[Mr Anderson]

Link for Cree?

 

[McGherkin]

See there, they're kicking up more glare than your actual headlights, which I don't like. Here's my SMD's.

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

I'll put the Cree link up when I'm on my laptop

 

[Brad.shepp]

Here's the link for the CREE one's http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140825715721?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Yep mine are the same!

 

[l33th3tr33]

You're special.

f**k off. I realised what I'd done when it was to late. It's all sorted now anyway, I just got halfrauds ultra blue normal glass bulbs, which coincidentally are white, not blue. So yeah got that sorted along with putting normal bulbs in the back and that sorted all my stupid electrical problems.

Thanks for the link im kinda confused i bought led sidelights the other day which look kinda the same however they dont seem to fit.

I took off the rubber cover pulled the plug out for the side light and it basicly seem to be like a slit however these led ones i have like the CREE ones in the pic are raised in the middle which just wouldnt fit. Am i doing this right as im confused

These are the led's basicly you can see the end of them in pic is not flat its raised in the middle but the plugs for my sidelights in the car are just like a strait slit it seems so they dont go in. am i doing something wrong?

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Should fit fine, they're 501's

Try adjusting the contacts in the bulb/holder, chances are one of them's bent out of shape.
