I did this in both of our cars too, put in white led bulbs, look much better, but not strictly legal.

I havent got small hands, and am not nimble, but managed to do them all ok, but was a squeeze.

You have taken the end piece of radiator cover off havent you?  should be enough room to squeeze in then, if not, as Hotel21 says, loosen the battery.

Me too.  I had the blue Phillips ones and they fade after a few months, the white 4 cluster LED's actually shine HID blue and look great.  I'd also suggest changing the orange indicator bulbs for chrome ones from Ebay for a fiver - eliminates the fried egg effect  :y

OK, OK,

I put in the LED sidelights and chromed indicators after seeing yours  ;D

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery  :y

One of my indicators blew, used that as the opportunity to replace the lot.

Do prefer the look.

never drive on just sidelights, so light output not an issue.
