Title: LED front indicators
Post by: Stanipkiss on June 03, 2013, 10:46:11 pm
I would like some led indicators for my black GTi headlights. I bought some a while ago but they were too small.
Pictured below on the left is my current bulb and holder on the right is the led version that was to small.

Can someone please point me in the right direction or link to the correct fitment and bulb.

Thanks you lovely lovely peeps in advance

Though not as bright it does give a clearer light, these are the 18smd I think there are others with more smd's on ebay.

MOT regs dont state whether they have to be filament of LED bulbs. i passed on mine when i had them in.
