Title: Pics of LED/SMD mirror puddle lights fitted
Post by: RobboGTI on December 09, 2012, 07:16:55 pm
Would like to request as titled and if possible a link or picture of the bulb type fitted.

Just want to see what looks best as so many 501 bulbs have different orientated SMD's fitted so just wanted to see what bulb would give the best light projection

Wow! I was on about LED bulb replacements but didn't realise you could get these?!

How easy are they to fit, what is involved?

They have a fake bulb holder on them to plug into existing holder, but it all gets a bit tight to push in then,  to I cut off the holder on the mirror and soldered on the wires, you can twist together and tape up if u prefer as its quite waterproof in there,
