Default Silver 2.8 PF with new style LED sidelights

Hi,

Tonight i sold my spare set of 4 18" sport wheels to a chap from Cardif.

Top bloke. He drove his silver 2.8 pf with LPG all the way to london tonight to pick them up. I saw him coming from up the road and immediately realised he had the new style LED sidelights installed which i've always found a bit naf on 1st impression.

Seeing them in the flesh, they really didn't look half bad at all and actually looked quite good. He also had white LED internal sidelights as well as HIDs installed.

I asked him i could post some pics which i've done below and mentioned the forum and the meet but he didn't seem too interested....you never know though we might see him pop up here.

Here some pics as mentioned before:







-Oli

looks good!
i've got led's inside my headlights but they are getting removed and i'm going back to standard blue tint sidelights, HID headlights & full beam
Mine look good on the move but they look naff when your stopped as you can see them so easily inside the headlight

I already have factory xenons, but wouldn't mind the dipped and main beam to be a little whiter, where did you get your HID side and full beams from?

you cant really have hid main beam as the bulb takes 10sec to get to full brightness (you will effectively have no flash)

new cars tend to use one bulb with a electric shutter over them to create a main and dip from one unit
