What side light bulbs when you have 182 with Xenons?

[joebristolgym]

Recently bought a 182 with Xenons in it, and they are very bright white/blue compared to the side light bulbs which look ridiculous in comparison and a bit yellow. Has anyone found other led side light bulbs better - like the PIAA ones?

the xenons look alot better without them imo.

Had them on my prev 172. If you look closely during the day, you can see the blue, but when turned on they just look very white. I'll take pics after I've done one side. b*****d to fit, f**king air-con!

PIAA 1w all the way. Were pricey at £50, but are spot on an ultra bright. An exact match for the xenons as well.

Only arse ache is wiring the big resistor pack inline with the positive feed. Was easier than I thought though.

I got some ultra white leds from ultraleds and can't fault them, match the xenons pretty damn well.

Got the PIAA 2 led bulbs (about 20 quid, harsh!) in the car this evening, what a fiddle. Passenger side not too bad once you'd taken main beam bulb out, but the drivers side was a nightmare due to some big pipe (suspect air conditioning) in the way. Lots of scratches and mucky hands later they're in and look awesome. Will try to put a pic on at some point!

My led sidelights . Got them from ultraleds but they don't sell them anymore for some reason . Only cost a couple of quid each . They match the xenons perfectly . I used some tubing to hold the led while i held the bulb holder with the other hand , there's fcuk all room on the drivers side if you have aircon .
