Post by Bull »

Hi am considering getting some of these. Has any one used these?

Sidelights: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT

Rear Indicators: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT

Opinions and advice re fitting would be welcomed

Thanx

Never used these myself, but

As it says in the blurb, they are intended to be the same fitting as the original bulb.
Therefore, just twist anti-clockwise and pull out the originals, then push in and turn clockwise with the new ones.

Standard bayonet fitting.

We have a couple of service vans at work, and one lad has fitted LED bulbs for the brake lights.

UTTER SHITE!

There not that bright and there probably better with clear lenses, but standerd lenses seem to filter it out.
