LED Halo side light recommendations

Post by ChrisLux » Mon Feb 13, 2017 11:05 am

Hi All,

I want to replace my side lights with LED's to make them brighter white, can someone recommend a decent set
that don't cause any error messages and look good, easy to fit etc etc pls?

Cheers

If you mean the angel lights then have a look at HIDS direct, pricy but a good light. OK none of them will ever be as bright as the ones on newer models. I have bought cheap sets from eBay and Amazon and they didn't seem to last more than a few months.

HOWEVER I will add, the ones from HIDS direct do have the same crap connector as the cheaper sets. I had to do a bit of tinkering with the wiring. When you have a look around, check the rear of the light unit of the new LED's, the fashion these days is to make them out of smooth shiney aluminium, which looks all sexy blah blah but trust me unless you have fingers of a 6 year old then you'll never get enough grip on em to lock into place.

Easy Chris.

How's it going?

I've got some you could purchase.

They are decent quality and work a treat.
