Has anyone bought the sidelights from matt?, if so any pics of them on please

cheers



Thats with just side lights on
They are quite bright, personally think the white light looks so much better, interior as well. (sorry about grainyness, iPhone camera is a bit crap)

Nope, just the side lights replaced with LED, got some MTEC on order as the standard yellowish bulbs look a bit daft with the nice LED in there

my drivers side LED sidelight bulb keeps registering as being "out" when i start the car - mostly happens when the car has been sat in the sun for some reason.
I got these bulbs off ebay a while back and not from Matt.

Im looking to change them for MTEC SUPER WHITE 501 W5W (x2) as per Monte's first post.
Does anyone have a link to them or is it a case of just getting them off ebay?

Thanks

I could do with some of these, but they are a right pig to fit, well first time anyway, yanked out with pliers, blind...vw should have done better with these.
Looks like ebay.

im still digging for info on MTEC sidelights.

Can anyone confirm that these will fit fine on the golf and most importantly, what's the difference between the 2?

Buy the 2nd ones, latest cree type, and let us all know if they fit ok  :wink:
They need to fit down the fitting "tube", so diameter is important, but they don't state that anywhere......

Well... the MTEC Extreme Evolution side lights DONT work... they stay on for 5 secs and then go off again (as well as throw up a bulb out error on the dash). Have to see about getting a refund  :sad:

Think im going to abandon the search for reliable LED sidelights and just go for the MTEC superwhites instead...

Hope this helps
