Glad to hear. Does anybody have any photos? Bit of a weird request but I've only ever seen them fitted to my own car! Would be good to see what they look like on others too.

(ignore the lack of badge for a second)

Don't fill the reflector up quite so well during the day, though.

For reference - mantianak has projector headlights with Xenon dipped beam and reflectors for the main beam & sidelight. I have the standard reflectors, which have the reflector together for the dipped beam and sidelights on the other side.

I've taken a few pics, but the headlamps are filthy rofl... like the rest of the car at the moment

the number plate units are awsome for light output and colour is whiter than white, but it illuminates the plate a little too much for my liking so I either have to difuse them somewhat
or get back to the dull yellow stuff

the sidelights I've done one and one for comparison, but I felt a plonker taking photos in a communal car park rofl..

also placed a sidelight in the interior , alongside the original 3w and an older front facing led I bought a few years ago...(wasn't cheap) but never fitted in this car because of the can-bus error.

did this just for a comparison/indication of colour and intensity...


Some clickable, main shots to follow... i took shots in daylight/dusk/night

______

I placed the sidelight in the lense with the board North-south, led's east-west , but will orientate the second one the other way to compare when i fit it

might have to wait for the photo's, I should hit the hay really... early start tomorrow..

Oh and the colour is amazing, matches the zenon perfectly

GRRRRRR pics removed...pics have been doctored, but thumb still shows plate ...night night....





as you can see the right hand side is a perfect match for the xenons

I did have it stop working when first tested and fitted and have since withdrawn it a fraction as i believe someone else has had to do, but overall i like thema lot!! will try better pics when I can and diff orientation, but they should stay put ok

just need to have a re-think about the plate lamps...

Just FWIW... the interior lights aren't CANBUS Error-detected. You don't need to use expensive ones in there

Looking good. First time I've seen them on a mk2, it makes a difference alright.

You are right on that. Although I have these ones fitted to my interior for 2 reasons. They are a lot brighter than any other led I've tried so far and also they don't flicker as badly as the standard led when cranking the engine (or any heavy load). I guess it depends on what you want really.

yeah, the originals are also only 3w too, but I was just trying to get some shots of just howwhite they are, and a straight comparison with the led's I bought a few years ago... personally I found these ones a bit bright I think for insde I might have a nice half way house with my old ones though

I'll try these again, please tell me if plate is showing, i suspect its my cache
