Make it worthwhile and get some side repeater bulbs and some for your numberplate lights 8)

One for the boot is well worth it as well.

I wouldn't have thought so as you don't have the ballasts getting in your way. I should think you need to remove the battery though

Here you go loud (sorry mate, don't know your real name :lol: )

They look more bluey in the pic than they actually are. The flash was off for all the pictures.

Numberplate Lights

Boot Light The only light the boot had on/in it was the single 36-39mm LED.

what about the disclaimer on ultra LED saying "Please note because the Leds are plastic they melt and fail (flicker) if placed to close to the Main headlight bulb (less than 3 inches away) - we will not exchange any bulb that has failed due to heat damage."

ah cool, yea the number plate lights do look good.

samil if you look on the first page you'll see why they have the disclaimer :P

the projectors got very hot and the leds were only like an inch away, so that's why they melted. Normal lights will have no problem at all
