Are they Legal?????????

DigitalPlumber · 14th April 2007, 21:22

don't think so, but not too blue or bright so won't attract the old bill

civicsport · 14th April 2007, 21:24

What about at MOT Time?? they would have to be swapped over i suppose.

DigitalPlumber · 14th April 2007, 21:32

good idea. I'm sure the average tester wouldn't care but for five minutes work you might as well.

I have better pictures, to see differnce?

Have a look here as well:

Xenon HID - parking light bulbs don't match

I have these fitted and they really are as bright as they show. I got them from:

I get disappointed everytime I look at my sidelights, going to have to get them changed asap.

I tried the Autobulbsdirect Super Bright White 501's (as above) and they're purple. They're bright, but they're not white, and next to my HIDs, it's obvious that they're purple. I have seen some great looking white LEDs on cars coming the other way, but I've never managed to find any myself.

I have used Super Bright LED's on two cars (My last one had Xenons) and found them to be perfect match. I have them in my Civic now and would NEVER have anything else. They are superb!!

My 501 Super Bright White are just that; white (see picture in #7 above).

Suggest you have a word with Autobulbsdirect. They are very helpful.

Ps: Why don't you put the purple ones in you map reading lights? Mine give a brighter light with a blueish glow in there. Look good. Worth a try.

Couldn't agree more about Autobulbsdirect - great service, but I have had a set from them that were definitely purple tinged but I changed to:-

501 LED Extreme Power 1.5W 360 degree :: LED Extreme Power - NEW! :: Autobulbs Direct Ltd - Xenon bulbs, car bulbs, wiper blades, headlight, Osram, Ring, Philips

...... and BeJeez!, they're white - and bright for 1.5W rated!

But, as you can see, they're out of stock of white ones at the mo....

Oh dear; now it looks as if I'll have a spare pair of 501 Super Bright White for the map lights after I spend more money on these new ones!!
