LED Lights
Hi all, can anyone point me in the direction of replacement led lights for inside the wing mirrors and for the number plate lights?
I've looked on eBay and there seem to be plenty of options, just looking for a seller that is verified as selling lights that are definately error free and the correct fitment.
Cheers all.

Still have to get round to doing the puddle lights in the wing mirror covers.

Re: LED Lights
Hi, i wouldnt bother with the puddle lights, i changed mine and the spread of light and quality of same was rubbish, i went back to std.
Most other bulb changes i did are good (doors/floor lights/boot lights/sidelights/number plate lights etc) but again the map reading lights and roof interior lights i reverted back to stock as found the led ones just to directional.

Cheers guys, just ordered the number playe lights from the link sanj posted.
Got to fix my auto folding mirror so had thought about changing the bulbs at the same time. So are there any other options i could go for, for the mirror lights? If led's are pretty poor is there a better standard bulb option that gets rid of the yellow?

Re: LED Lights
Bums, mine are not as bright as i would like thats for sure some say subtle i say dull he he.
Must admit though with all the door lights upgraded to led ones when you open the door you cant see the puddle light light.
Im sure i have my mirror lights here if you want to try them, i wont use them ?

Re: LED Lights
Cheers for the offer pvw, if they are as you described then they aint really what im looking for, but cheers tho
Im just looking for something that will give a wide spread but bright white light when they are on, kinda like the lights built into the door handles of a 3 series bmw.

Re: LED Lights
Just remembered why i couldnt get the light i wanted, the bulbs in there are flat bottomed like the picture in the link(ignore spec) so i could only get straight down directional lights.We need a round headed bulb to throw a circular light but you cant get one that fits. I think that makes sense !
