and was wondering wether to get them as they would probably last a long time and avoid the police getting an excuse to stop me thing

The dash bulbs are ok and the small ones for side lights are also ok, used to have blue ones on my white mk1, looked cool but police didn't like em.  As for the bigger, multi LED ones to replace your indicators, rear lights and brake lights, they are absolute pants.  The light doesn?t spread in the cluster like a bulb does so u end up with a small area of light in middle that?s not even coming through the lenses that well at all.  If they were brighter then maybe they'd be ok, but they're not unfortunetly.  Not recommended.  I sent mine back..

thanks ill leave them then. seemed like a good idear.
must stop spending anyway. bought the car as a cheap run around and so far has cost me loads

Yeah, i know that feeling believe me................  I was a bit gutted when I bought these bulbs because I've seen so many new cars with LED units as standard and thought they looked wicked.  i was hoping it would bring my car up to date but unfortunetly they made my car look like my battery was shagged!

my main reson for the bulb change was so when i leave the lights on the battery might not go flat. will get a lights on alarm instead
