GTi LED sidelights
« on: January 13, 2014, 07:11:20 am »
Im looking for some advice on fitting LED sidelights, can I buy led bulbs that fit straight in with no modifications? I want bright ones that are white or white with a blueish tint, my car has xenons
 if that makes a difference.  Cheers

Shouldn't be a problem! 501 bulb make sure it's canbus or you'll get bulb error light on dash.

Nice one and cheap as well!

Do you need to buy anything else or just those bulbs?

Will these work with standard lights or only with Xenons?

They're expensive. I got mine from eBay 99p delivered from China. No problems or issues, just a little bit of a wait on delivery.

With Xenons, the sidelights are different on halogens iirc
