I got these for the sidelights the other day.

Look great too. Will get a picture later but here's the link.

Go for silvertec/silver vision indicator bulbs and as for the headlights. Best route I would suggest would be to get a hid kit with 4500/5k bulbs to give a nice white with a tiny blue tinge look.

Hope this helps.

You cant put a HID kit on reflector headlights.

 

[Flat Eric]

Why not? I did on my 1.2 before.

its illegal and blinds other drivers.

Hence why the Xenon lights have no silver behind the light itself. The refraction can cause grief if not fitted correctly. (usually seen in older 106s, 306s and old Corsas)

well hid's are great but without projector lenses it's just daft but just simplly looking for led white bulbs or something similar like the sidelights however

 

[Flat Eric]

I know what you mean. Mine weren't too bad on mine. I do see some about which look all over the place.

Best thing is to get some nice looking sidelights and silver indicators.

I've LED'ed most bits. Take a flick through my thread.
