   Just wondering if anyone has upgraded their rear bulbs on their car?
   
   Was looking at the 24 LED ones for brake lights and the xenon reverse bulbs.
   
   Just wondering if anyone has upgraded from normal bulbs? Are they legal?
   
   So far i have silvertec indicator bulbs all around my car (front, sides, rear) but was wondering if people have used LED bulbs on their rear?
   
   If so, any pics and where did you get them cheap cheap?
   
   Thanks,

   Most of these bulbs are not road legal. Many people find they don't get pulled as long as there the correct colour. But lets face it there still illegal so I would not recommend them. You can get legal styling bulbs however you have to go to a reputable retailer such as Demon Tweeks and look for the ones they list as road legal. Be warned most online, ebay and market shops are just trying to cone you. They may claim there road legal, E marked, DOT approved, insurance friendly but odds are there just lies. Be warned generally the people selling them cheap cheap are the people trying to rip you off!

   don;t just take my word for it, the guy i brought them off was a bit of a tit and tried to say that there was a fault on my electrics thats why they weren't bright. i am gonna order off my usual seller see if the ones he;s got are any better. as the led bulbs i got are brighter so why wouldn;t a 24led bulb be brighter than standard?

   Well i just fixed the bulbs on my MR style lights and they are definately bright enough.
   
   Any idea on how to fix condensation? One of my lights has it
