   I want to get some white LED sidelights and interior lights but had a look on ebay and you can get anything from 1 LED up to 9 LED? What's the best to go for?
   thanks, Rob

   get quad led, anything like 6 and 9 wont fit, ive tried.
   
   ive got a 9 white led floating round in one of my headlights as i modded my lights and it fucked up.
   
   only get white, EVERY other colour is illegal, ive been fined for blue led sidelights.
   
   go for 4 white led 501 bulbs on ebay, but i warn you they are pretty shit auality and some of the leds stop working after a few days.

   Thanks for the good advice dont osram make white led sidelights? I would've thought they would be good quality.
   
   Also is this a joke or what?

   Yes, those £500 ones are worth £5 each at the most.
   
   They are trying to rip people off, lol.
   
   Here is a link to the £5 one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Bora-Golf-m...ptZUK_CarsPart

    I got bright white side light bulbs (not led) the actual bulb is blue but shines white with a blue tinge. Cant see them very much at dusk but do look good a bit darker. Look great with osram night breakers aswell. Got an advisory on them though
    "Side light bulb colour but given benifit of doubt" lol

    Yes there shouldn't be ANY blue at all in the sidelights, they need to be pure white only, for MOT purposes.

    Yes legal (either standard halogen type or LED) provided that they are ONE colour: WHITE.
