Re: Side light bulb's (Update)

Re: Side light bulb's (Update)
They look pretty white to me, I might well get a pair of those next time.
Saying that, ive had my C5II for over 14 months now and I have not replaced one bulb on it but our C5II estate eats front sidelight bulbs.

Re: Side light bulb's (Update)
What type of strip LEDs can be fitted, without having to 'modify' the car's wiring?

Re: Side light bulb's (Update)
Non I would think. The bulb holder will need to be cut off and the strip jointed to it.triumphtoledo wrote:What type of strip LEDs can be fitted, without having to 'modify' the car's wiring?

Re: Side light bulb's (Update)
I used these on the Xantia

They mimic the standard side light by lighting in all directions rather than just forward as in JOHND's post
Initially they wouldn't fit but by shaving less than a hairsbreadth off each corner with a bit of emery paper they fit nicely and have lasted over a year.
I also use these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120612584303? ... 1423.l2649" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
connected to the sidelights as day runing lights. As long as you dont start the engine with the lights on and avoid the electrical spike, (they don't like spikes) they last about a year before becoming too dim and at just over a fiver for a pair thats not a lot to pay..
Sorry the pics not too good in daylight, but you get the idea. theyre piggy backed into the sidelights behind the headlights and then the wires run alongside the washer hose and then under the bonnet insulation, attaching to the blanking plate with small zip fastners.
