Yellow ish side lights
« on: 01 May 2012, 21:21:09 »

Im looking i think at the side light bulbs which look yellow ish when switched on , compared to the bulls eye ones which are blue e white . Any idea what i should replace them with to get a similar effect as the bulls eye ones . Are these bulls eye ones im referring to called projector lights  :-\

Projector style, For the sidelights try white LED`s (6-bulb type)

You can`t compare sidelight bulbs whether LED or otherwise to the output of a HID bulb ::)

I have changed mine for the 6LED type they look much better
I have also changed the puddle/door lights and rear number plate and interior lights for LED as I prefer the light colour plus if you have the doors open there is hardly any drain on the battery with the LED  :y

Just to give everyone a heads up be really careful what colour LED you put in your sidelights and numberplate lights as mine failed on being an incorrect colour :o :-\

i had some cheapy quite brights white with slight blue tinge i've now replaced with just white LEDs but stronger and it Passed so..

Another thing for MOT'rs to fail on... YAY

P.S Sorry to all you good MOT'rs
