Hi Rik. they look good. i went for easy option. local car shop " Ring Cruise-Lite Ice LED Daytime Styling Lamps" £15 for pair. unfortunately it was last in stock. the stop/tails are 36 led by Maypole £15 each from Ayr trailer centre. (not the cheapest, but good service)

NO!!:hellfire: (you trying to make a fool of me cos I is Girl?!):kiss my arse:

All my other bulbs are White?? What colour are your's?? When you buy a bulb it is white!

You have Lenses for the colour. (That's why it illegal on mot to have white light showing to the rear!)

Red lenses, yellow for indicators etc??

But All white bulbs! And it Said they were white!! :dummy:Stamps foot!!

Quick question about LED lights, as long as I buy 12v ones can they just be wired in and away we go or do they need some kind of relay or something else? Was told by somebody that you cant just wire them in!!!

You can just plug in as normal mate.

You need an led safe indicator relay for indis, but rest are fine.

Dont buy the real el cheapos tho, no good.
