Post by: andybon on December 25, 2012, 01:17:28 pm: I got some ring ones from motor world. They just came in a normal packet with a blue tint to them, But light up bright white.

I'll get a pic of the packet, Was only £3 so pretty cheap and go well with the Osram Nightbreakers I have in!

Post by: JoeDarKa on December 27, 2012, 03:20:39 pm: Iv got the mtec ones and they are poop, not bright enough! Iv got some led ones from matt off the led thread that will be going in when i swap the headlights over
Title: Re: where to purchase side bulbs that are bright white
Post by: Moz on December 27, 2012, 03:57:18 pm: I have the MTEC LED Sidelights and they are indeed poop, doesn't help that the MK5 headlamp is not transparent for the sides and indicators.

With lights on, you don't even see them.
