lol. u cannot put xenon bulbs in a normal headlight case. it will destroy the plastic.

something to do with UV Filtering!

 

[Graham Gooch]

They are ultra bright LEDs

they work in a different way to a convention xenon lamp.

 

[jameskiing]

ok cool, anyway can you tell me what size to get for the side lamps ?

 

[Guy]

lol yeah cos LED's are full of xenon gas arent they... lmao

 

[Graham Gooch]

The wedge style one should do, go into halfords and look for them. I know they sell them as I bought some from there, and funny enough I need a new one as one went on the blink.

I have to add I cant say I ever pulled the sidelights out on my old diesel clio. I'd pull them, out and have a look, take one in with you.

[V1NNY]

xenon led's LOL what a joke. LED are light emitting diodes Xenons use gass!

 

[d4nn3h]

I think some people now just think that Xenon means blue/white colour lol

 

[JD]

guys this is a bit harsh, easy mistake to make really, alot of people think that xenon is the colour, they dont know about it being a gas.

the ones that Dink has shown a link for are the dogs danglies, can vouch for them.

 

[nezza]

Your car will fail its MOT with these in... mine did

 

[S22 JGS]

[Dink]

xenon led's LOL what a joke. LED are light emitting diodes Xenons use gass!

*cough* xenon IS a gas the correct term for the lighting used on modern cars is metal hallide
