Xenon style LED's

Post by Godderz23 »

Im after a set of bulbs to replace my fog lights and rear number plate lights, want the white xenon look, anyone got any recommendations?

I ordered a new set of bulbs to replace the standard dipped beams and got them wrong so links/anything fool proof would be brilliant, want to get them all sorted for winter, when i'll mostly be driving in the dark :(

These are what I've got on my polo, and they look awesome at night! Haven't got a picture though, but I know Ben has got a pic of his numberplate LED's.

Yeah I bought one of those for my interior light.. But it didn't fit at first, my other half modified it to make it fit though, ha. As ya do.

The bulb is too small. So you'll need a bigger one for the interior light.

Here's a pic of what the Xenon style number plate LED's look like at night mate

Plate looks weird because my car was filthy!

They are a nice little upgrade though, makes your pressed plates look like a mini billboard lit up at night 8)
