New Xenon 5 SMD LED Side Light White Bulb T10 W5W 501 - £3.65 on ebay (link here)

Re: Blinds

I bought mine from a dealer who had a set left from 2005!

They re-introduced them with the new shape, and are available at a pricey £75

after much deliberation and input from forum members, :blink:
the chrome grille surrounds have gone
I'm loving it, much more tonka-esque :lol:

before




and now

A bit 'stealth like' reminds of something ............................. :whistle:

Yes, better without the chrome in my opinion.

This bumper shape is a lot better than the latest one.

Not wishing to dampen your day, but is it legal to fit LED lights

looks like he's right, from what I gather, legal lights require the "E" marking

so I've decided that the blue tinge could instigate more investigation on the part of MOT Testers (Marky?) and plod, so have taken them out ...........

and that supposed white LED is defo blue, but I can't stand the dim yellow standard tea-light bulbs



however you can get "blue tinge" E marked bulbs, I went for these








and as usual got carried away and also went for these ...................






got mine from autobulbsdirect.co.uk and with them they sent a 10% discount code j9fc5r that expires 31/12/2013 .... not much use now but maybe of use to someone here

I'm using Nightbreaker main lights and LED side bulbs. No problems with the boys in blue and got my MOT OK.

decided my blinds weren't dark enough

so bought one of these



started tro stitch them myself, but the wife took pity on me :whistle:



can still see out through them .... just enough :blink:

but give much better privacy now

you still got the chrome grill things
