These are coming up as white?

Yep, the bulbs you're replacing are white

Ahhh, I see, my bad, thought the others were amber but I guess the indicator housing that's amber. I think this is better actually as the amber ones were a bit harder to come by back in the day - probably not the case now?

There isn't a huge amount of difference, the others were adequate but these are better than the first set so if you're buying some I'd recommend the bright ones.

Just bought the brighter ones and returned the other ones! Also got my Osram H7 night breakers for the cornering lights :)

Did they let you return the other ones?  Might just re-list them myself unless anyone here wants them?

It says in the listings returns within 14 days, buyer pays postage. Just messaged him to tell him I will be returning them

For all those that have ordered the less bright LED's & thinking of sending them back, these bulbs also fit the rear reverse lights. So I have just used these to complete the full LED effect.


Before
 

Half n Half


Complete LED


Will check the brightness comparison at night when it gets dark.

Thanks to Monsta for finding the bulb types  :wink:
