Title: white side lights
Post by: Andy B on 07 April 2010, 22:33:17
Who has bought side lights that actual show up white & not yellow? I bought some cheapo led lamps from a well known online auction site, and while they work, they're a bit too blue looking for me.  ;)  ;)
So .... any suggestions please, there's loads of different types about.  :-/  or do I just put my yelow tungsten lamps back in/  ::)

Not at all, I doubt I'd even be able to work it. I just wanted white side lights to match the white HID's. This led's are more burberry than white  :y  :y

No constructive suggestions then? ::)
If Audi & Merc can manage to produce brilliant white DRL lights then I'd have thought you'd be able to buy brilliant white side light bulbs.  :-? :y

Ive got some from Halfords too, prism on a card rings a bell, iirc from chav section not with bulbs.

illumination is crap, but I never drive on sidelights anyway, headlights or nowt for me.

not a bad colour match though.

been through a few cheap ebay led's etc, they dont last.

I noticed that...but mine has passed several MOT's with them in.

The others being traditional bulbs should be fine anyway.

They're probably not type approved (is that the correct term?) an MOT tester is hardly going to remove to inspect for Eu marks. My Senator used to have 100 watt main beam bulbs fitted with no MOT problems.
