LED sidelights -Are these OK

I saw these advertised on Ebay. Are they any good and do I have to fit resistors or whatever for them to work OK. Sorry if I seem more thick than usual but it really is outside my field of expertise.

My thoughts are they are more directional (i.e forward facing beam) which won't reflect on the light housing

Have a look at the ones McP listed, on eBay (item eBay Item No. 170524640736), they are nice and bright and look good in the car, and only £11.99 a pair, canbus safe so you get no flicker too

I put these in myself too at the weekend Thumbs Up Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Right then, What are the next ones I should fit? I have read the various other posts about these LEDs' but I need an order of priority so that SWMBO doesn't blow her fuse.
Cheers in advance Ralph

I also made a purchase, however when pulling the plastic paddle on the back of the headlight it snapped due to it being brittle at -6c Big Cry

hello everybody

Are these the same?

the other listing has ended.

Any recommendations for dipped headlight "white LED style" bulb replacements.

cheers
