Nope, see my first post above, gave web site name there, just select canbus bulbs, paid £15 for 2 pais of W5W/T10/194 for upfront and the festoon (44mm) for boot. As mentioned, these little babes are short bodied so u can not push them fully into the sockets without covering the leds on the sides, suppose you could trim the socket by trimming the plastic but they seem firm enough as fitted. Diameter is small too so no issues re fitting them.

Thanks Peter for going to the trouble of sending the pics. They look very bright at night. How do they look during the day from a distance? I think it's the brightness of LED'S during the day that gives them the edge.

To be honest, pretty useless during the day, not like the newer day time LED's on many car nowadays. Might be ok for dusk/dawn but I rather have dipped on then to be seen. I tried them on 'parking' lights only during the day y-day and its a no-no, deffo dipped all day for me. To me its a goodie at dusk n darker when staying still and they add a wee bit to the dipped at night. for the money its an easy choice IMO.
