what sidelights?

[Liquid yellow 182]

Recently fitted some HIDs so am now after some decent sidelights to match, just wondering what the best ones are to buy? or is it easier to just take them out? cheers

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

any side lights you like, they're a standard connection

is there any difference in brands on how long they last? don't want to be changing them round all the time in which case should just remove them? cheers

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

they are really easy to replace if you have to. LED bulbs last very long compared to standard.
Depends on how much you spend on decent LED side lights
I have just brought some for £2.99 but I don't mind changing them if they do go.

But if you spend a bit more money you can get better ones.

501 is the connection.

Looks much better when removed IMO, even if you do get bulbs that are the same colour as you HIDs.

Bumper off job for me though, thanks for your help

No sidelights are the best sidelights.

 

[clio_luke]

remove them for the best look of the headlight.

the ones i got with my hid kit from mt audio are good, pm matt and ask hm for the link to the steelmate ones he supplied

 

[MikeB]

white sidelights look smart imo.

 

[richybatt]

these ones are a bright white, with a hint of blue, they are leds so mix well with the hids.

Bumper off just to change some bulbs? That's a bit extreme isn't it? Took me 5 mins to remove my sidelights

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

Bumper off job for hids, managed to remove my sidelights today though without removing the bumper but was a bit ruff on my hands but looks better

Just so im clear, is fitting LED sidelights something that will get you pulled?

Id like to change the look of the yellow'ish sidelights as much as anyone else but i dont want to attract unwanted attention in the process really.

I wouldn't of thought so,
As long as you haven't got a completely different colour bulb like dark blue or red or something and just had standard white or maybe ones that look like HID's then I think you will be fine.

ive not really any "E" marked led wedge bulbs, If cops want to be fussy they can pull you for it , also mot centers can fail it on it

I've got chinese 99p ebay led 501 sidelights which aren't 'E' marked and 100W full beam bulbs, I've never had any problems with plod or mots. I've also got a H3 HID kit fitted.

depends on yer area tbh, its same with reg plated
