LED Bulb upgrade advice needed
Hi All,
just fitted 50w hid's to dip beams & 35w hid's to front fogs on my 4.2qs,Outstanding results lights much improved. Just curious as to what sidelight bulbs others are using std 501's now look very yellow,maybe LED but unsure if led's will set fault on dis panel. Anyone tried led's in rear lamps Regards Adrian

 For my 501s, i have used quad LED jobbies but they only direct light straight ahead.  As you can see, they look a little more blue than i had hoped (even though it says 'bright white' on the packaging) and don't illuminate the entire light cluster hence looking to change.  Today, I received a set of these multi-directional jobbies which i'm hoping look a bit better...I have not fit them yet.  Oli

Look forward to a pic of your new ones Oli, I had the same problem as you. Too blue so I took them out!

Conclusion:
Whiter than before, brighter than before and matches the OEM xenons better. You can - if you are really picky - still sometimes see a lightest blue tint but it's nowhere near what it was before. Still, worth the £4 IMO. Before and after    Low beam + new sidelights

I think mine just push in but can't remember exactly. But my car has the factory Xenons just like Oli's, non Xenon Pluses like yours. I should have brought yours off you instead! How long does shipping take Oli?
