Check Parking Lights - OEM Angel eyes died

Basically I get a message telling me to check my Parking lights, when checked it's obvious that one side is not illuminated.

So now I am in the LED zone which is confusing cause I really can't find any real reviews of these LED Angel eyes.

Flea bay is the shop of choice and the cheapest ones seem to be 6W (8000K) which sounds good to me but how long will they last, I also see 5W and 3W versions for sale which may or may not be better or more reliable.

Anyone got some input these? of have some fitted? all the ones I have seen say they do not give OBC errors but if they do they do they are going back. :thumbsup:

I had the HIDS4U kit installed in mine. Plug and play, no warning messages on the OBD. Takes less than 5 mins to change the pair.

Anyone tried them yet ?
I have alredy got the ones from HIDS4U and they are not very bright I was a bit dissapointed as they dont really show in the daylight.

So many different types...

I will probably go with these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320846406635? ... 1438.l2649

8000K should give a nice blue tint, will be interesting to see how long they last but can't find any complaints about these ones...
