Brighter Headlights - Update

Finally had a dry and mild Saturday morning so fitted these side light LED bulbs (thanks Roundozo): http://www.xenonbulbs.co.uk/canbus-leds/Canbus-LEDS-Sidelight-Bulbs/CANBUS-LEDS-Wedge-Bulbs-501-W5W-PROJECTOR

Im very pleased with them, here's some before and after pics in daylight:

:thumbsup: Good work. Looks so much better. I will hold my hand up as although I have mine I still haven't fitted them! Will hopefully get time tomorrow.

Thanks Marlon I will buy the same. You changed all?

Hi Stark, Yes swapped out the standard headlight candles for Osram Nightbreakers and raised the headlights too (see earlier in thread).
The Nightbreakers definitely make a difference; before I swapped them I only felt safe using my full beam at night on country roads, which was a pain continually flipping them off for oncoming traffic. Now I can get by with just the headlights.
The LED's I fitted this morning are bluer than the headlights, but I like the look.
 
£4.95 incl delivery is a good price if they don't flicker/fail.

Let us know how they fare Marlon.

Great work, Marlon. Very impressive difference!

No fault lights or indicators on I take it?

Thanks Ben. Nope, no warnings - clean as a whistle, needed the 'can-bus' LEDs :thumbsup:

Marlon, would these lamps be ok for the interior ?

Good question - not even considered it. However, those particular bulbs are sold as 'error free side lights'.
You can buy interior LED bulbs I'm sure.
 
Well done buddy - right faff changing lights.

Beatman - For interior there's no need for CANBUS, I gave up trying to get interior LEDs that colour matched each other as you obviously need different fitments. The quality was pretty junk too, half ended up flickering. Some RGB LED strip is on the to-do list but the electrics are getting more complicated!
 
Scooba_Steve. Thanks for the info, I have been looking ref interior lamps, but there are just so many on the market things get a bit confusing as to which are right or not.. :headbang:

But I must say, thanks to Marlons posts and photos, these side lights do look good :thumbsup:
