Recommend me some side light bulbs

To match my HIDs [emoji15]

Now that is a good question. You can buy LED wedge bulbs from ebay for about £1 each, i picked out half a dozen different types and tried them all. Try to find some with LED's on each side so they bounce more light off the reflector. The best you will get from a super bright white led is that slightly blue colour like 6000k HID's. Not a perfect match but a lot better than the dim looking originals. If you find a good one post a link..

P.s. Just took a pic for you, my HIDs are 5000k so a little whiter than the regular 6k. Sidelights bulbs i believe are these ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290944437130

There's been a discussion about this before - I bought based on the previous information and they match really well...

I'll see ic I can find it...

Cool, thanks lads [emoji106]

How about bulb warnings? I get a warning anyway, I guess from the HIDs

Don't think sidelights generate a warning. I bent the K pin on thd relay anyway when HIDing the dipped main beam...

No issues, as above i don't think the autocheck looks at the sidelight circuits. Interestingly it seems to understand my HID kit and doesn't give a warning, but every now and again the left light wont start up and it triggers the autocheck warning so it seems to know if the HID has properly started up or not.

Just done the K pin mod, all good

I love this forum

Hi John, these LED bulbs from Amazon match my 6k HID kit rather well. I can post a pic later if you want??

I did the opposite and went for orange US style side lights. However, I have standard H1 halogens in mine so not sure how it would look with HIDs.

Bump to this. Fitted my new 5000k HID kit this evening and the "white LED" sidelight lamps are too blue and look a bit chav to my taste. Can anyone suggest a good unit to try for a pure white LED?

[mcandmar]

I have a couple of warm white LED's on there way from China to try, i'll update if they look any better.

**** Yeah!

I've since 8 years ago, USA sidelight and PO light on the highlights

These are pretty good, not LED but they do look white not blue in use and get rid of that yellow tinge

Thanks, I'd not considered conventional lamps TBH, will have a look at those if the supposed 5000k LEDs I've got order are still too blue
