Nice one alex they look great mate

One more question....why does the bulb look just like a blue dot on the 1st pic of the 2nd row? Cos it looks nothing like the other 3 pics

I've just changed from them, the drivers one started flashing so I just bought some philips blue vision ones which aren't too bad.

You just can't guarantee how long the LED's will last, some have gone after a few weeks, others a few months.

I know filament bulbs are the same but at least you know they should last at least a few months.

I'm sticking with the OEM yellow bulbs for the forseeable. Too much of a kerfuffle to strip the front bumper off the car just to change a pair of bulbs so I'm going to time it so that i can swap them when something more major is happening.

I have a pair of Philips main-beam bulbs to be fitted, I think they'll be far more useful to me
