white side lights
« 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.
