Best Bulbs for that Nice White Look :D
« on: October 23, 2014, 12:13:28 am »
Hi all,

I fancy upgrading my head light bulbs so bulbs that give off a nice white light, none of this yellow tint that comes as standard. My question is, will a pair of £5 LED side light bulbs off eBay do the trick, along with some random white eBay bulbs do the job?

Or do I need to get something from here instead?

If anyone can suggest bulbs that would be greatly appreciated, and pictures would be greatly appreciated!

Also, as we're on the topic of bulbs, if anyone can recommended a good package for LED interior bulbs that'd be fantastic  :happy2:

Thank ya!

Hi George,

I think these or the 55w version give the best bang for buck:

In terms of LED interior bulbs, contact matt.towers@btinternet.com for a kit.

Thanks
