Trx 33 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 THESE are my favourite sidelights, i have them in my Mk1 & Mk2 Arosa's Not sure if they'll match the xenons but i cant imagine they'd be far off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so I know not to buy them! They have all worked fine but never matched the xenon, some were close but im fussy. They were all off ebay mate so couldn't tell you which ones they were now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Cheers for those pics. The sidelights look more blue than I would like, but they might match the Xenons ok. I'll decide tonight and get some ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trx 33 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 They do seem to come out blue in the pictures however the fogs and nightbreakers come out a lot whiter than they actually are, these 501's are actually really white but its up to you, £3-4 you cant really complain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_273 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Fitted them today. They are quite a good match, I just hope they last a while.Crap pic also as my camera is broken, although you can see they they match well. In real life they are more blue, just like the Xenons are.

Trx 33 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Not a problem Regarding lifetime, they are LED so the actual light emitting diode should last ages, i have had them fitted for just over 2 years and one has failed in the past month but this was due to the build (and a little bit of rough handling), it was always a bit dodgy from the start though. If you bend the legs out and remove the white back casing there will be a resistor and a standard wire leg, the resistor snapped off on mine. In all honesty, i cant really complain for the price though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
