my polo is the artic silver one, do you recon those will look alright? how do they look in low-light rather than no-light situations?

They look good in anything from daylight to night time mate

I've got a Reflex Silver 6N2 GTi with them.

I use these : http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/u501whp2501- ... -1249.html

Similar to dinos, but metal cased so they dont get affected by headlamp heat

Guys help me find some for my FK angel eyes. FK said "You have to use w2,3w bulbs for the angel eyes.".

I think I need 18 bulbs / 9 pairs...yikes and I wonder if somewhere will discount on that amount of bulbs.

ultraleds.co.uk should discount you. They are usually pretty flexible on mass orders.

Hi Dino, are these really the LED bulbs that are turned on in your signature photo ? Looks more like your beams than the LED side lights

Yep, the 9N headlights are in the outside lenses

Yeh but the full beams are in smaller inner lens on the 9N. The photo looks like the full beams are on.
I find it hard to believe LED side lights can be as bright as full beams

Hehehe they are no where near that bright. LED sidelights are 1 watt. High beams are 55 watt its a big difference

They just look so bright as they are really intense

Mine look gorgeous when they are on at night.

I must get some up to date shots of mine by night

My signature is only sidelights, bear in mind it's in a dark car park with a long exposure picture.

They are rather bright, here's mine in the dark (they're not as blue as they look in the picture though, the camera makes them look worse)

Have you got the same ones as dino tom?

I have yeah, don't tend to use main beam with having Xenons so they've been ok so far.
