What is the fascination of LED bulbs...  whenever I am behind a car that uses them, all I see is the lights dancing over the road and surrounding area whenever I check the mirrors, speedo, etc...

If they affect me like that, how many others do they affect in the same way and really are they safe due to their "side effects"...

They are modulated very slowly on some cars - for no apparent reason. I hate them too. However, that is a function of the control electronics and an aftermarket LED bulb won't do it. Still can't see the point, TBH.

Keep seeing loads of cars, trucks,etc. showing blue light. That's just providing the Police the perfect excuse, should they need it, to pull you over.

Standard w5w sides look old and yellow next to HID/Xenons or upgrade bulbs-but there is a fine line between matching these and being chavvy 

I only started using LED sides when I started using upgrades bulbs which gave a purer white light and made the sides look nasty.

Wouldn't ever use blue bulbs, mind

NAH, had "blue" bulbs . . . first off normal 55/60 watts =
DULLER (because obviously had duller BLUE glass !)
THEN found some 100w blues but even THEY only seemed
to give about SAME as the normal 60w's 

Only want LED's (or Halogens ??) for the VERY 'orrible sides
at front . . . . .they're embarrassing ! !

Quite fancy the new extra bright Main Bulbs too (to try to
match the Xenon Dips a bit ?) the ~70% brighter ones from
Phillips/Osram etc

[cruisetopoland]

Have now fitted LED sidelights, Osram Nightbreaker headlight bulbs and Philips Xtreme main beam.

Noticeably brighter but my headlight inners are duff-awaiting replacement.

LEDs do look white and match the super-bright bulbs well, making the whole front look more modern.

Standard W5W sides look so dull-I don't like chavvy lights, but the LED sides (white) are a vast improvement on the standard ones.

Will post photos when the headlight units are repaired, replaced or adjusted.

Look good already

OOOH !

Any chance of quick piccy as they ARE ??
(I'll make allowance for the dodgy headlights )

What sort of LEDs ? the simple smaller ones
or the 'tower' multi or 360 ones ?

Now up and running, had posted they were 12 LEDs, but mistaken-have used those before, but these are 6LEDs in clean white-look nice and fresh without being chavvy.

Photos to come...

[FatS]

WELL,
i know photos can take ages to develop sometimes,
but. . . . . . .
