as promised, look bluer in the pics than they actually are. Alot brighter than standard bulbs too which is a bonus as well the updated looks. Doing the fog lights over the weekend :wink:

Hi Lee

Thanks for the link car looks great. Is it easy to fit the blubs and do the same ones fit the fogs as well?

Different for the fog lights.

Bulbs aren't hard to do, but skinny fingers do help! Or alternatively it's only 3 Torx bolts to take the whole headlamp out.

The fog lights on the B6 and B7 take H11 bulbs - not sure if that's also true for the B5.

Dont know if it applies to the bulbs you have fitted, BUT my car failed its MOT on the sidelight bulbs as they were the incorrect colour. I had the LED type aswell with a very slight tint. I brought these many months ago after someone on here fitted them and supplied the link. So be warned guys.
and NO i wasnt charged a retest fee so i dont think he was failing it on the basis of that.
