Stuck a few on another thread - titled loads of new bits...

I'm ut shopping tomorrow so will get some dimly lit shots while I am out and stick em on tommorow evening..

They do look cool and an easy way to change the look of the car cheaply and more importantly easily..

Go to Ebay - type in 501 LED into search - most of the sellers have the full range of LED bulbs.

Check feedback and buy in UK only as heard items from Korea etc take ages and are usually faulty...

Ok a headlight (in anyones eyes) would be a H7 bulb - assuming you have a mk2 with dual bulbs turn the sidelights on (half twist of headlight control) and see the small bulbs that don't emit enough light to be classed as a headlight..

If still "unsure" just wait for pics...
