Title: GTi LED sidelights
Post by: jakex181 on January 13, 2014, 07:11:20 am: Im looking for some advice on fitting LED sidelights, can I buy led bulbs that fit straight in with no modifications? I want bright ones that are white or white with a blueish tint, my car has xenons
if that makes a difference. Cheers

With Xenons, the sidelights are different on halogens iirc
