What's this?



LED bulbs


Before:




After:






Much much brighter - especially as the light is smoked - the standard bulbs were rubbish.

Flew through the MOT. Needed new shocks though. Done as part of the service.

£352 down the line and it's good for another 10k miles/1 year

Lower and back box. If I get competitive insurance come September. All about saving money now though - so probably not.

Interior LED's are a must. In pure darkness they are super bright. Got one in the boot too. Much better than the standard festoon bulb.

Need to either get HID's or some better headlights bulbs because the existing ones are still a bit yellow - they are the 30% brighter Halfords though.

Sorry, it's http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/ultimatemodsuk



Matt - I wouldn't mind a 6000k HID kit BUT I'm a complete retard when it comes to fitting stuff like that.

Ben - They were the ones I'm thinking of

The modification that will help prevent "for crying out loud Lily, don't put your keys and phone up there because they skid around. It's a long walk home" arguments.
