Default My new LED Lights

I ordered a set of canbus free LED's yesterday and they came today so within 10 minutes they were fitted. They look really sharp and clear by day so looking forward to after dark and give them another go. A simple, cheap and great upgrade

These are the LED's I bought: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...ht_3654wt_1052

I've also ordered 3 sets of these for the interior lights: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...ht_2695wt_1137

For the interior lights, you might want to order a couple more. I found that those bulbs are not all that reliable - two of them started flickering within a few days of being installed. Not worth sending back for replacements as the seller is in Hong Kong! But luckily I'd ordered some spare so it wasn't a problem.

They do look great though!

I'm very pleased with mine

The standard sidelights against the HID dipped beams look ridiculous. These LED sidelights really do redress the balance in my view

My neighbours already think I'm obsessed by my Rover 75 and here I am in the dark 10:30 at night taking pictures.

So here you go these are just sidelights on with LED's. They may have a hint of blue about them but I used my mobile, they are white LED's





Here are my LED number plate bulbs too:
