Sidelight bulbs

Post by Nobby » Fri Nov 08, 2013 6:11 pm

Hi chapsters

At Millbrook the other day one of the guys (a Kiwi named Hamish - don't know his forum name) was talking about his sidelights.

I know a few of us have bought crappy LED ones before with mixed results. Anyway the guy said he had Phillips LED ones which looked much better than mine (and whiter), so I was trawling the net to find which ones he had.

Are these likey the be the ones? Onbiously 501 fitment needed.

Chris, the only thing that worries me about the bulbs in the link is the colour temperature. 6K might be a bit too chav-blue. Difficult to say without seeing them in the flesh.

Hi Guys,

These are the ones that I have installed:
Philips X-treme Vision LED W5W T10 6000K Xenon White (Twin Pack)

I purchased them from power bulbs:

The ones I got from ultra-led are still going strong (2 years old now I think). I would contact Trupps though Chris, and see what he can supply, he's very helpful.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!
