LED SideLight Blubs

[jordanogrady]

Has anyone found a cheap alternative to the PIAA's then?

 

[Industrial2008]

I found these on the internet, I don't know if anyone has post before about these.

£7.50 a pair plus your LEDs on top a cheaper solution to the PIAA.

Been assured they will work, and look great with 6000K HID kit!

Just recieved them this morning. I have a resistor that I believe should fit between + & - then just fit the LED as normal?!?!?!?!

I've ordered these too. If you get them fitted post a few pics and a dummies guide. Would be greatly appreciated

I know what you mean, but to put a resistor in would save you £45! It's a no brainer to me!

Each to their own mate, but it wasnt hard todo. We're both happy and thats what maters, good end result.

Juat recieved the PIAA lights and thge actual part where the light sits in itself doesnt not fit into its place, because of the 2 little locating lugs on the side, if they were trimmed they would fit but dont fancy choppin them up... anybody else had these problems?!

push harder mine went in after a bit of persuasion

I'm after some LED sidelights and been reading the different approaches. I'm after something which does not go down the resistor and wire choping route. I have seen these PIAA's on ebay - does anyone know if they will work or not? I have also emailed the seller. Thanks

I know but im clueless with electronics and last thing i wanna do is knacker something in me new car, and for the sake of £45 id rather pay the money n just slot them straight in, tis only £45

why are people scared of wires? the worst you'll have to do is chop and strip a wire, which a baby monkey could do. it will take 2 minutes more and will have exactly the same result as the PIAAs

fair enough, you don't want to start re-wiring the whole car but fitting a resister (which is pre-wired anyway) is just too easy. I seriously can't believe you'd rather spend £45 more for the PIAAs

I've just ordered some of the led bulbs and resistors off the bay myself . . .

From past experiance of cheap LED side lights, I've found they dont last more than a few months before they fail or start flickering at least.......

I've had my PIAA in for about +/- 6months now with no issues what so ever

For me the ease of just Plug & Go makes the extra cost worth while.

PIAA in effect

Want to do the LED and resistor mod.

Do these LED's look like the ones I will be needing?

not wanting to burst bubbles, but I did this mod, and next to the standard headlights, they look stupid. like a really bad chav mod. . . . 'ultra bright white LED' sidelights next to yellow headlights.

However, I must agree, the pic above looks pretty damn sweet, that's why I did it originally . .

the standard headlights look pretty white anyway in my opinion, but next to "ultra white LEDs" they look a yellow, and they look naff together . .

they looked so stupid that I resorted to getting HIDs to match them! after realising that standard reflector headlight units are really NOT compatible with HIDs (FAR FAR too bright) I resorted back to fully standard, which is where I'll stay. the standard lights are sweet anyway, and (now - not before) in my opinion if you mod them, they look cheap tacky and chavvy.

 

[ChrisMansell]

however, if you have factory fit HIDs, this mod is an EXCELLENT one. lol
