im sporting at OE looking set up (well, same as the mk 4 golf company car) with the hids and then the standard sidelight bulbs (as seen in my sig), for some reason i love the look, but on the jap car i got some white led sidelights a few year ago from japan, cant remember the brand but its a very expensive one and they are fantastic, might get some for the golf... i used some cheepo led sidelight bulbs in my old escort runner and they blew after a few month.... bloody crap!!

this shows how they light up (mind the misses but i havent got any other pic's with the lights on!!) they show up brighter clear white with just a little blue tint (like xenon's so they say?)

I braught some led side light bulbs, 2 sets infact, one white and one blue. Put the blue ones in first and they were very blue, infact too blue so swapped em to the white ones which actually have a purple tinge to them which match my car and im happy with them. When i had the blue ones in saw a couple of coppers staring at my car so i knew it was only a matter of time before i got pulled so if you put these green ones in be vigilant coz eventually you will be stopped.
