Whiter sidelights and number plate lights

Same bulbs though iirc.

Those are the sidelights wizzy :-)

I know but all my lights come on together all the time, just thought that was natural.

I guess your car is set like mine was. The DRL are the xenons and rear lights on all the time.
To turn just the side lights on you turn the light switch to the sidelight setting. This switches off the xenons and puts the front sidelights and rear lights on instead. You can turn the DRL that are the xenons+Rear lights off using VAGCOM but then you have no DRL at all.

Adding on to kenny's thread, but he's trying to get some serious answers so don't want to hi-jack it! I've also been thinking about changing the number plate lights to something a bit whiter, but don't particularly like the idea of having to code out bulb warnings etc (until i can afford LED rears that is!) anyway, i've just ordered a pair of Osram cool blue w5w halogen bulbs to replace my sidelights as they currently look very yellow compared to the new Nightbreaker H7's.
Do you think they'd make much difference to the plate lights?
I may also get some for the interior lights if it's worth it, i'm just not a big fan of the white LED look in the headlights.
Any opinions welcome cheers

Don't forget to post a pic of the new side lights in action mate.


Cheers,

I'm still confused by bulbs types etc.  Can these LED's be used in a normal lighting set up i.e. not Xenons?
