Title: Help with purchasing error free bulbs
Post by: gazon69 on December 11, 2011, 04:19:03 pm

Hi guys, im wanting to replace all of my dull yellow bulbs with led's. e.g sidelight mirror indicator numberplate light and if possible headlight indicator bulbs. Can anyone point me in the right direction as they must be error free ones. Dont know what im looking for so any help would be appreciated.

Rearding the number plate bulbs go for the Xtec 239 C5W's. I have had these in mine for about 6 months without any problems. I bought mine from Hids Direct but their site doesnt seem to be working right now. Can get them from the bay.

EDIT:
Actually its not the 239's but the Xtec C5W Error Free:

Got these in my side lights:

They have a slight hint of blue so probably 6000k but look much better than the standard 'yellow' bulbs.
