After upgrading my headlight bulbs I'm trying LED sidelights to get rid of the horrible yellow glow - I quite like the look (Poor picture taking courtesy of me Rolling Eyes ) whether they stay in permanently remains to be seen.

Nick they are steady bright light, but are Canbus. (I tried ordinary w5w led but they flicker so rather than throw them in a drawer I put them on the C Censored n as front marker lights Laughing )

Here they are...

There are cheaper with one, two or three LED's but I wanted the mirror inside the bulb housing to shine. I'll let you know what I think in a few weeks and whether they are going on the 'trailer' Whistle as well Laughing

Back to first post: No DRLs on my 11my. Are not the DRLs the squidgey bits of plastic under the front bumper, in front of the wheels which were obviously designed to be wiped off when traversing a field of long grass. DRL=Drag Reduction Lips? Any comments still pining for my 3dr, no removeable hardtop, no drop glass tailgate, no roof rack, no pockets everywhere to stow all that man kit

Hi,

Want to replace my sidelights with LED's and I've been reading I need the Canbus type LED's, is this correct? If so, can anyone post a link to a UK website where I can buy them? The above ebay link no longer works...

Thanks! 2008 3.2L HSE Zermatt Silver LHD

Thanks taztastic

Just to confirm, do I need to get the "canbus" type bulbs or can I get any of those bulbs listed on that website?

+What type you all used? the 2 or 5 led type. I had some freebie normal led type from Autobulbs Direct (they quite often throw in free gifts with an order) but they pulsed, guess I need these canbus ones and relegate them to SWMBO's Polo. MY14 TD4 manual XS Orkney grey.

I've ordered the (cheaper) 2 bulb canbus LED lights. Reading the reviews most people seem to think they are bright enough. Only time will tell though. I'll post a picture when I fit them if you like... 2008 3.2L HSE Zermatt Silver LHD
