..... can anyone recommend led conversions that dont throw up failed bulb display

You can put anything in there that you like ........ side lights are not on the bulb failure system.

Verry happy with them too!

LED side light bulbs make quite a difference & if you buy the correct ones, they're quite bright too

[tooleater]

Murphs are even cheaper

[tooleater]

Thanks Murph, just placed an order

[biggriffin]

ive got can-bus compattable sidelight blubs and number plate blubs, and there a lot brighter and look loads better than standard. there will be some who say it looks chavee but i like it. puts baseball cap at a jaunty angle

Another company based off shore,recently purchased hand held lazer from Jersey Awesome power for something so small. No I dont point it Police choppers or aircraft

[Murph]

I just prefer a whiter light TBH.  I think it looks 'cleaner' and is easier to see by.

IMO it makes the car look a little more modern too.

Any heat problems being close to the headlight bulbs?

[Murph]

I fitted mine at the beginning of June and so far no problems.

I too would like cleaner looking side lights but i am concerned that led bulbs might be too bright,
making it look like i am driving on full beam rather than dipped, is this an issue with what you have fitted.

What a ridiculous waste of time! No, can't think of anything else to say, What a ridiculous waste of time!

[Murph]

They are not bright enough to replace or be mistaken for dipped beam lights. They are a bit brighter than the standard 501 bulbs but then that's hardly difficult!
