Piddle lights and xenon sidelight LEDs?
« on: December 27, 2013, 10:12:37 am »
Hi, ive looked everywhere and cant seem to find a straight answer so im sorry if this has been asked before :)

Basically i just need to know what kind of bulbs i need for my xenon sidelights and mirror puddle lights as i would like to get rid of the standard yellow bulbs  :happy2:

The cars an 2005/05 GTI if that makes any difference :)

Thanks in advance to anybody who can help :)

Puddle lights, the ones in the mirror housing? They take normal w5w bulbs. Or you can buy whole new units that clip in place of the light

Cheers buddy, they were w5w as you suggested :)

Turns out the sidelight in the xenons is also w5w for anyone else wondering :)

Little before and after for anyone looking to change them (will upload puddle light pics later as it wasnt dark enough to show them at the time)

Before:
