Haha sweet. I hope I bought the right ones, they were pretty cheap, only £2 each! Think they are the ones Roy Munson has?

Yeah its illegal to run with them according to the fashion police...

I hade my xenons on all the time, so you'd never know there wasn't any sidelight bulbs in..

When i get my HID's on the R27 again i'll be taking the sidelight bulbs out..

what did you do about the hole? Propper white LED's look good, it's the blue ones that are rubbish

Nothing, its just a hole mate...

As long as the rubber cover is put on the back of the light theres no problem..

I struggled for half an hour trying to get the drivers side led in . I have pretty big hands and it was impossible to hold the bulb holder with one hand and push the led in with the other .

Got it sussed now though . Get a piece of 10mm plastic tubing , put the led in the end of the tube , hold the bulb holder with one hand and push the led into to holder with the tube . Only takes a couple of seconds now

If your wondering what the black tapes for . I could only find some 12mm tubing so i cut some slots in to make it a tight fit on the led .

LOL - anything in the driver's-side light unit is a bloody struggle!

I'll be whipping mine out this weekend!

 

[Brand86]

Cool thanks for the suggestions, hopefully my hands fit and I don't break anything!

Quite easy though on scale of things to do...compared to say changing indicators which I found 2/10 difficult...?

 

[Spark]

might do this at the weekend whilst fittin the silvertecs.

MRBILLYUK's way is spot on, its a great help!

i have changed my sidelight a few times now trying to find a good xenon match, but i wasn't happy with any of them...
so like Alan said, i just removed the sidelights, looks way better! pure xenon power

You will need a screw driver and a big hammer to remove them...to act like a chisel.
