Which sidelight bulbs?
« on: October 27, 2011, 04:56:50 pm »
I've ordered some off the net and they don't work!

Just wondered what others have used.... I've got some new white main beams now and the side lights look orange.

Thanks

If they are LED ones they will only work one way round incase you didnt know. if you do a search there is a thread somewhere of a full kit you can buy for sidelights and all interior ones too  :happy2:

I've got Blue Vision bulbs all round. They're great, the light is a very crisp white.

Call me mad, but I like the 'oem' yellow sidelight look, against the candy white at least  :party:
