Yeah blinding! I hate other drivers for having them.

 

[FlameR172]

ye i agree with that but like i said its not as bright as it looks far from it

 

[iimushroomzii]

A lot brighter mate!

 

[jim cook]

Different ?? Not seen um before

i doubt a single LED side light will blind, clearly the sensitivity of the camera in dark conditions makes it seem brighter!!!

Combined with HIDs ooft need some shades at night.

Just remove them.

^ what he said. No sidelights looks better IMO, but from the photo the colour looks similar to xenon so looks ok.

So the one on the right is LED and the one on the left is a normal bulb?

I just got some white bulbs, not LED, and they are crap, still look yellowy

What have you got in there?

that will be the HIDs blinding because some t*t has but them in headlight units! the latest Audis and Mercs have multiple LEDs as sidelights and they have no issues

^ Those LEDs always start flickering after a month or two, They do look good with white light bulbs though. Have some SMD bulbs that have lasted half a year so far and havent started flickering, Taken out and replaced with Philips blue vision to match my Osram night breakers now.

 

[Chrisjk]

I just unplugged mine, doesn't leave an obvious black hole, and as the short Chris said looks much better.

 

[Lee-182]

LEDs are much better, I got white in mine. No more nasty yellow looking tat

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

Mate if new sidelights excite you maybe you should get out more.

 

[kaimcg]

LOL at leds being 'blinding'

Welcome to 2008.

 

[Curley]

Take them out tbh.

My led's died after a month so removed them and it looks so much better

 

[Aluco]

HID's + white bulbs ftw.

Got mine from halfords made by "Prizm" or something, not that bright but you can't even see them they are such a good match with my HID's colour - which is perfect.

These are the BEST LED sidelights IMO and I have tried a few different sorts look great from all angles PURE White, match xenon's perfect :approve::approve:

Only problem with mine was I had to shave a small amount of plastic off the spade that pushes into the connector on car bit wide dunno if they all like this or i just got an odd set :S

[Kris86]

if i unplugged the sidelights, would it pass an mot with them unplugged?

I didnt need them but he said you normally would.

Take the bulbs along, they'll only ask to put one in to show the lights would get power to them.

Not the same seller but they look like this. Only problem is there direct foward so its just two dots of white, still look good though imo.
