Title: Fitted new bulbs
Post by: WobGTI on 02 October 2008, 17:25
Yo,

Powerbulbs get the thumbs up, ordered 15:30 Tuesday bulbs arrived 9am Weds

Ordered 4 x H7 Philips Extreme Power used 10% discount code from here and 2 x free Cool Blue W5W sidelights.

Noticed the lights are a lot clearer, less yellow...

Biggest difference is the sidelights aren't orange but clear white which makes a really nice difference!!

If i get out in the car later i'll let you know what I think of the bulbs...

Yeah most people are impressed with their service.
I use a 9 Led side light lamp from them. Nice clean whiter day light colour..

The car's LED 'eyebrows are another story....  :smug:

How have you got an LED to work as a sidelight? Did you wire a resistor into it?

Used these   (http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/images/u5019w.jpg)  LEDs and wired a couple of small circular 5w 20 Ohm carbon resistors just behind the lamp holder, so the headlight remains sealed.

Bought LEDs from here..
