LED Side, Puddle & Plate Lights

[stephenevans99]

Been doing a fair bit of the 'Buy it Now' on eBay over the Bank Holiday Weekend for LED's, well they've all turned up & it would be rude not to fit them immediately.

Firstly, I thought I'd start behind the ol' girl as I wasn't happy with this....



So in went this...



I noticed the plastic bulb holder had turned very brittle & would perhaps put it down to the 501's knackering the plastic ??!!??

Number plate now looks like......



Next was the puddle lights. Did a quick search and found out that the bulb holders are removed by tilting the mirror up and inwards which reveals a small tab on the holder, pressing the tab with a driver allows it to drop down out of the mirror housing.





Making sure that the LED is in the correct way round before reinserting the bulb holder into the door mirror.



A quick shufty to the front to do the sidelights, opted for a 9 LED bulb for the fronts...



Could'nt believe the difference the LED's made, now a very bright, crisp white light.





A quick vid walkaround (in the rain) to show the results....

I also bought some Osram Diadem bulbs for the indicators, I wanted to get rid of the orange glow that shows through the lenses. To be honest, these Osrams replace the orange glow with a blue/purple glow and I'll probable replace them with some Silvatec bulbs.









HID's are next on the shopping list.
