#1: sidelight bulbs??? Author: anton1989, Location: west midlandsPosted: Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:54 am ---- looking to upgrade my sidlight bulbs (and maybe number plate 1s) any ideas on which ones to get? i have angel lights (i know) and don't want the sidelights to over power the halo rings, saw on here most people go for smd l.e.d ones i reckon these might be to bright though?
they must be road legal.

saw some from hong kong for around £1.50? surely they can't be much different as im guessing thats where the uk sold ones come from anyway?

Dont get ones from Hong Kong or China, use UK ones and spend at least £10 sounds expensive but it will be worth it.

I have Prism 501 LED sidelight bulbs. I had the 4 little led Prism ones but they started flashing. These solid LED's have been fine for ages. You can get them at halfords or motor world etc. Cost me around £6 i think.
They came up as an advisory on my MOT that I had like a week ago.

And your MOT'er can be a d**k if they appear "blue". I've had that problem.
