LED 501's
« on: 16 March 2010, 21:40 »
hi people.

Just wanted to know what you guys think of the LED 501's as i have the standard 501 bulb that is yellow and it realy lets the main H1's down as they are ice white, ive done a search and came up with "WAZZER'S" in the mk4 section. Wanted to know which to get.

Also what does it mean by 80 lumens and 40 lumens? im taking it as 40 lumens has less brightness then 80?

1st will they fit.
2nd will it make ALOT of diffrence in brightness?
3rd do they look good?

Thanks for all looking at this,

Sharki

I use LED 501 which have surface mount diaodes. They are brighter/whiter than standard 501s. If ou are running whiter standard bulbs then I would recommend them.

It seems the highter the lumen the brighter. Surface mount diodes are bright and ideal for sidelights and give a nice white light.

I don't drive round with my fogs on unless it's foggy so those bulbs don't bother me too much
