M-tec Super White sidelight bulbs

[Weston]

I would totally recommend these bulbs. Such a simple mod but with a big impact in terms of style. Just bear in mind you'll probably get angry changing them thanks to spatial restrictions, but it's well worth it. Besides, who doesn't enjoy forcing their fist into a tight space? 

I've tried lots of different bulbs as I'm fussy, these are always my choice for sidelights.

VW do there own blue coated sidelamp bulbs - part number N 017 753 10 - all 'E' marked and completely legal.

....Do these give a 'sharper' more blue tinted/biassed light? I find the stock sidelights very yellow/cream and dull.

Yes - a million times better than the standard fit.

Only when it is wet and warm!

Just ordered after pratting about with 2 side by side LED bulbs that are too wide. Half the cost too. Result!

I've had my bulbs for several months now...I guess I should get round to installing them this weekend. 

Just went to install my bulbs and was told that they are the wrong fitment/type.

Any way of losing the yellow middle part of the front indicator in the headlamp with Xenons ?

replace the bulb with a silver vision one, chrome painted bulb that flashed orange - removes the "yolking" of the lens  

EDIT: thats assuming its not a painted reflector... easiest way of checking is to remove the bulb (which will be orange) and if the yolking goes then silver visions are the fix  if the yolking remains then a bulb swap wont work

R32 Xenons have a clear bulb

....So if we had a part # we could use those in a GTI Xenon instead of faffing around with fleeBay.

So the silvervisions will work in he gti xenons??

the mk5 xenons have an orange coloured lense so putting a different bulb (eg. silvervision/ chrome bulb) wont change the look of the lights

Turns out I had the right ones...side light bulbs aren't that bright though! 

P.S.  A bitch to replace...
