Side lights

[jamesditchy]

Hi guys,

Just asking if anyone has a good recommendation for bulbs for side lights. The ones I have now have a yellowish tint and id like a whiter set. Are there any which would be a straight swap without any alteration.

Thanks

I fitted these at the weekend after trying another couple.

I will 2nd "any1else" suggestion as there are a few cheaper exposed LED options about but I've had LOADS of sets and they all fail after a few weeks but as the 1s suggested above are sealed they are better, ive had them on my car for bout 6-8 months now and still work fine (the cheaper sets I was replacing every other week haha)

I have Osram Cool Blue W5W. They are as white a light as you can get from a filament bulb.

Could you send me a link to the exact ones that you have bought?

I bought mine from Amazon :
OSRAM COOL BLUE INTENSE W5W halogen position, number plate, tail light 2825CBI-02B 4200K and 20% more light in double blister by Osram http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005OK4PR0/ref=cm_sw_r_other_udp_awd_fP0Zwb9DZPMEE
Tried to get a photo of them on in my Zed and also in my wifes Freelander2 but it doesn't do them justice. The bulb glass is pale blue but when on they are brilliant white...no yellow. Fitted them back in October and so far no issues. The usual Osram quality.

Thanks bud, I have Osram Nightbreakers in my headlights which are a huge improvement on the original candles. I tried LED Canbus sidelights but started to get errors with them so swapped back to the original bulbs. I will order these sidelights and give them a try

I assume these will fit all models (ie same output/fitment)?

They should. I think most cars use W5W bulbs for sidelights etc.

Ooh, those look much better than my current bulbs. Will have to purchase them!

 

[sw4nny]

Ordered on the strength of how different yours look Marlon, a big improvement

For anyone who doesn't want to buy from Amazon, they're on ebay for £7.95.

I like amazon, but they insist on knocking on doors to deliver things like this that would easily fit through a letterbox, therefore no good to me as I'm a shift worker.
