Well I've replaced my front indicators with silvered bulbs and lost the fried-egg look; well-pleased with the result which I may have mentioned before and can be seen here.
And today I replaced my sidelights with LED's as mentioned here: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showpost....5&postcount=61(which was probably in the wrong thread  )
These are the offset pin bayonet type (434 or BAX9S). They are quite long and come almost to the end of the reflective well, so having only side-facing emitters works very well.
(Just waiting for some "upgrade" main-beam bulbs to arrive now.)
Pictures, firstly the sidelight alone, secondly with headlight on. Nice.
