Yeah, if the bulb has a blue tint to it that blue tint reduces the light output, its why I have stayed with the OEM halogens for the time being until I can afford the better Osram or Philips bulbs, but changed the sidelights to LEDs as they give better visability for others.

ive also decided that hang the ££ ill find a set of OEM Bi-zenon headlights for mine , IF the std twin lights ever prove to be not sufficient.

with the changes possibly coming to the mot, and my "luck" the day after i swapped the hardly used fog light bulbs to LED or HID ones,, they'd be a instant fail

I am just sticking with the standard bulbs, in the fog lights now.

Can't be bothered trying to find any more.

Must be running out of steam.

id imagine you up there would get a lot more "weather" than me in the midlands. well more of the fog type stuff anyways, so might get the use out of front fogs.

Not really Andy.

Although we live on the coast, there has only been one spell of fog, this year and it didn't warrant front fogs, just the rear.

That will probably change, as the warmer days come back again.

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!! What a difference they make. replaced the running lights with LEDs and I loved the difference. I also replaced the 2 front cabin lights with LEDs and they look great too. SWMBO came out and saw them and ORDERED me to get the entire car converted to LEDs. lol. I will of course obey as I think they look great

no. Top secret.

lol. I ordered 6 of them as a trial to see what they look like. I am going to be ordering some more now.

Here is where I got mine from:

The only thing to be careful with is the side lights. The LEDs are a bit long, and they may touch the yellow plastic cover and break the top two LEDs. I know so , because I manage to break on

Photos to follow, but they won't show as well in the photo as when you look at them
