Bloody hell. It is Christmas already! :shocked:
Looking at the pictures again really blinded me. One way of keeping rear enders far away.

They are like xenons, lol! Except these xenons are a lot easier to fit at the rear end!

Im not a fan of lighting up the number plate better it just meens if someone wants to report me for something they think i did wrong its easier for them to read my plate. It also makes it easier for the police, cameras etc to read it.
I would like my front sidelights to be that bright though.

I wonder if my take on this won't result in my murder.
Personally, I think they are too bright and too white and distract one's gaze from the beauty of the rear LED tail lights. It almost seems that the LED tail lights have become second class citizens.
Drivers behind might also find this distracting and not pay enough attention to the brake lights.
There is also the point that Snoops has made.
Maybe if I saw them in reality I might feel different, but from the pictures I have seen, I am not enamoured.
Sorry Kenny. :kiss:

PS: They are probably brilliant as reversing lights. :wink:

I too think they are a lot brighter than OEM in this photo, not to my taste TBH.

Whilst it is nice to have some immaculate white highlights on a beautifully clean car, drawing attention to my number plate would be the last thing I wanted to do.
Unless I had a hilarious private plate. A guy I haven't seen for ages and ages owned (possibly still does) 5 EX I think it was. Now that would be worth lighting up in LEDs.  :grin:

You are all LED, Xenon t@rts IMO. I now just want my DRLS, Park Lights and possibly my Fogs to be as white as my Philips H7 bulbs. Can you help me, my Helpful Hero? Any suggestions for bulbs which won't give bulb errors and will be near BNP white?

These are the ones I have in mk6 golf reg plate holders, work far better than my old mk5 holders has they where festoon bulbs and burnt out quite quickly.

These also work in the side lights and puddle lights.
