Title: LED side lights
Post by: richtung on July 13, 2012, 07:19:06 pm

Evening Folks,

After realising how dismal the stock side lights are on my ED30, i fancy upgrading them with LED bulbs.

Can anybody recommend a decent set that are first and foremost, road legal and  secondly, will not throw up a "bulb out" error on the dash?

I have factory xenons if that makes a difference?

Ive done a search but the most recent threads on the subject are a couple of years old and the suggested links have expired.

Thanks

Rich

Got these in mine and have done for just over 2 years now. Do get the occasional bulb out warning but turning on the lights puts this out, this did not start to happen until about 4 months ago.  :happy2:

I've got the same LED's they look 100 times better than standard lamps
