Guigsy Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Right. I have HID's. But my sidelights look a bit yellow now. So i want some LED replacements. But... My car is a UK spec, and i have facelift indicators with sidelights in them aswell as indicators and i also have the sidelights in the headlamps. I understand the bulbs i need for the sidelights in the facelift indicators are 501 w5w's? I guess the ones inside the little dome in the headlights will be the same? Anyone know where i can get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefyblx Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 ebay, the 4 led's in one are the best. I'll supply a link when i find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Oh god, 4 LED, 6 LED, 12 LED. A world of confusion! What makes one better than another?

Kranz Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 The 1.5w Led's here are really bright and just the same colour as HID 4300's http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/501-led-extreme-power-15w-360-degree-pr-17114.html I have them in the Focus along with 4300 HIDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 But... Surely 12 is betterthan 6? Ok...It's just I use the "6" version, so I know not only do they look very good, they also fit nicely throught the holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
den1 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I bought the 12,s because they would make good day driving lights.....but then again I will have 2 sets of 12 on each side...in the headlight cluster, and in the face lift indicator/sidelights;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
den1 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Ok...It's just I use the "6" version, so I know not only do they look very good, they also fit nicely throught the holes The 12,s fit OK too:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 The 12,s fit OK too:) Now you've done it! I hear some 18's are out soon? EDIT: To be honest, they're so cheap, why not buy a set of 6s and of 12s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 what about the rear number plate bulbs? Now I found that the 6 leds do not fit, so at the moment I use the standard bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
den1 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 what about the rear number plate bulbs? The trader I bought these off sell things like that too:). I have bought indercator lights on eBay too.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2pcs-7440-7443-T20-11W-HP-LED-Amber-Indicator-Bulbs_W0QQitemZ190282858264QQihZ009QQcategoryZ72233QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262 ... To be honest the lights I bought are a bit of an experiment:rolleyes:, I have the face-lift sidelights here ( Not on the car yet) and the white LED 12,s fit in the small outside hole. I haven't recieved the indicators yet ( I dont know if the will be too bright?) But they are so cheap....!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like getting blood from a stone I was looking for chrome indicator lights, but the price was ridiculous for what they were. I don,t think the amber LED,s will be seen through the clear lenses:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
