Yay! Take lots of pics please!

I like my single-chip LED bulbs, but I'd be tempted to swap them for a full unit if the light output looked better (I'm a sucker for that multi-LED reflection in the top of the bumper).

Are these the ones you have?

I have bought a set via ebay and they are nice and bright and fit perfectly- so much better than the LED festoon replacements and well worth doing

Oh I forgot to ask... any issues with them flickering or sometimes not powering on? Because if so there is no need for me to test before selling them to whoever wants them

Ive not seen them flicker and have done a couple of thousand miles since fitting them mostly with the lights on (I was abroad with DRL required)

The only potential issue is that the electrical connectors are not locking (they are just pins) so I taped the connction up to prevent any shaking loose.

Just realized I didnt get them from ebay but a website (http://auto-lighting.co.uk) for £16.44 with postage as it was cheaper then ebay, but they are £16.79 at the moment on offer via ebay item number 311778097292.
