Just got normal nor angel or anything lights that came with me TDI....Want a whiter/blue look...Just buying side lights of BA9's will that give a better brighter look or do I need to change both main and side or just forget it?

Am after a more r32 bright light

i purchased them from this company on ebay, they took about a week to come but well worth the wait and piece of cake to fit, about 45 min to fit the lot.

yea, you dont need the ultra slim ones as the stock size ones arnt stupidly big and sit nicley in the engine bay. Legal wise there not strictly legal unless you buy Projector style front lamps. But you wont ever get pulled tbh for having them. I get a fiar few people flash me thinking ive got main beam on but you just put your full beam on back  :wink:   A few of my mates have them on there cars and theyve all passed MOT no probs and never had trouble with the police.
