redtoycelica Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Not a noticeable difference on the road so I then put some osram night breaker + in and that made a massive difference to the candle lights that they were before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geraintthomas Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290691653831?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 I've got these - they're completely white with that lovely blue / purplish 'HID-esque' hue to them. Really bright, I treat them as daytime running lights. I'll get pictures when I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1280 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Cheers mate pics are always good, they look pretty good because they have 6 smds facing forward, I'll order some today, How long have you guys had them in? How long do they last, I head some in my number plate but ones just gone an only had them about 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
