I don't really get it TBH. I don't see the difference between these and the standard bulbs, at least from these pics.

What's the difference/advantage?

Just the colour. White from the LED and a yellow hue from the standard bulbs. It also gives a slight 'facelift' appearance minus the DRL at the top of the lights

Purchased off eBay .MyLitCo, £58. Not difficult to fit just like changing a bulb. As I mentioned on previous post, the lugs only fit one way so compare it to the OE when fitting. As Angie4m says they are white instead of yellow. Whats DRL?

Daytime Running Lights. The facelift has a led lit strip that runs along the top where it's just that slightly oversized bit of plastic
