hi can you tell me which side light bulbs are the best ? led or philips blue range and how easy are thay to change. looks easy in the hand book but not sure .are the bulbs on ebay any good ?

 

I got some of these last week, they match the HID's perfectly!! Bargain too.

Ultra LEDs

 

I'm sure I read somewhere on here that using LED's for side lights was a MoT failure. Can anyone confirm/deny this with some authority?

 

I want some really bright white ones, rather than LED's . In the words of Bono

and I still haven't found, what I'm looking for

 

Aren't they a pain to change?

 

Not really. Plenty on here have passed MOTs with them no probs too.

 

I had three types

Painted blue tin on my 00 car - looked OK
LED's in my 06 - looked good bit din't last long
Current car - "HID" blue bulbs looks spot on!

 

I tried to change mine the other day, just gave up because my hands couldnt fit in those little holes to get to the back of the bulbs.

am i missing something or is there an easier way to change bulbs on this car ?

 

Put the front wheels on full lock, pop a few clips from the plastic liner where the is a V shape in it - away you go!

 

You get to them via the wheel arch.

You turn the wheels to full lock and remove the two quick release clips on the edge of the arch and pull down the liner. You will see there are a few lines moulded into the liner, this is so you can bend it down to access the rear of the light. Its still tricky but easier than through the engine bay.
