Title: LED sidelight issue
Post by: joeya on June 18, 2011, 11:56:37 am

Hey

Bought some led side lights from myliteco, they were recommended on here. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/501-W5W-No-Canbus-Error-LED-Sidelight-Interior-Bulbs-/280587962572?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item41545888cc#ht_4252wt_1228 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/501-W5W-No-Canbus-Error-LED-Sidelight-Interior-Bulbs-/280587962572?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item41545888cc#ht_4252wt_1228)

After fitting them it was clear they wernt "white", anyone else have this problem? I bought some Ring Xenon Max H7 bulbs to try and match but there no where near the same lol

Then after only a few miles driving this happened...

A bit disappointed! No sure if the blue and white go, I think it looks abit tacky...

You may be better getting some xenon blue glass sidelights - would be a better match for a normal H7 bulb that produces a brighter white

It say's white in the ebay listing. The seller must have sent you the wrong ones as they are clearly blue. I would get the seller to send you the correect bulbs.
