I don't like them personally... They almost look a tad blue, had something similar in my Lexus years ago and took them out.
Each to their own though

I'll add my experience of led based side lights.

Effect: brilliant, really does modernise the front of the car.

Lifetime: usually 2.5 months. after which point they flickered until finally dying.

i wouldn't mind swapping 8 sidelights a year, if i didn't have to jack the car up and take a wheel off to swap them.

If someone found a product that didn't blow that fast, with identical effect, i'd fit it.

When looking at them 2nite when it was dark, they do appear slightly blue so might change them. I was so impressed with them during the day but not so impressed at night. Sorry for the wasted post!

You must have massive hands? I've never needed to take the wheels off, just put full lock on one way then the other, 10 minute job at the most.

I agree, 10 mins max. You must be the human JCB. Or perhaps you're using your toes and not your fingers. Or your lips? Yes I have been drinking...

I painted the inside of the Prelude's interior light silver, since it was too dark.

Which is almost as sad as worrying about the brilliance of your parking lights!
