LED Side Lights
« on: November 09, 2009, 01:24:52 am »
I have recently purchased a set of xenon lights  :pomppomp:. I want to get some bright LED sidelights for them. I have searched and read probably all the threads on this site. I now know everything about adding resistors to remove bulb out etc. But there are not many threads about where to purchase.
What I want:
  • Bright white (hint of blue nothing chavvy only a hint) light which could be used to the same effect as DRL's
  • Must have a resistor built in to remove bulb out
Heres an example:

Not as blue as that but the same sort of thing but bright white with a slight hint of blue.
So if any one has any links to ones they have used or any that could be used it would be much appreciated.
Cheers Ollie :happy2:

I have got mine from either http://www.xenonwhite.de/eng/led-products/index.php or ebay in the past.

Most of the ones on ebay don't have a resistor built-in so you would need to solder one in-line to prevent the bulb check from triggering.

I dont really want to solder my own resistor in if I dont have to.
Can you fit any 501 led bulbs with a resistor? Or do they have to be certain ones? Cheers  :happy2:

the autobulbs ones are a bit more pricey but they have two LEDS rather than the one that the other has

Well the Autobulb LED's have arrived but I can't figure out how to fit them as they are far too wide and won't go in the bulb holder!!!!!!  :confused: :confused:

Has anyone fitted these?

I've got some but not fitted them! I hope they do fit! They look a nice well built item. But that's worth bugger all if they don't fit!!
