LED Sidelight Upgrade
After buying LED sidelight bulbs from hids4u some 6 years ago, one has recently started to fail.
I've looked at the hids4u website for a replacement pair but got totally confused, so thought I'd ask here.
I'm looking for an LED bulb, I think it's a 501 fitting but must be a similar colour to the dipped xenon beam, so I presume it's just 5000k white.
Can anybody recommend a suitable led bulb please?Mods:

Can't search at the mo but have a look in my gallery. I got mine from hids-direct but they're offline at the present as their premises got burnt down a week ago..

Hi Narpy
I’ve just fitted new Zenon bulbs a couple of weeks ago and similar to you I needed new side light LED’s. Not sure if this helps, I don’t have a straight on photo but hopefully helps.

That'll do it, cheers StephenO.
If they last half as long as my Hids4U bulbs, I'll be very happy. Mods:

Advanced factors do a really good led side light bulb, I had them in my D3 great match to factory xenons.

Same, had some generic Chinese lamps from FleaBay which didn't last. Got some from AF, and they are great. Richard

Side Light Bulbs
I have recently bought a 55 plate D3, it came with led front side lights and number plate lights but they have blown on the number plate and started to flash on the front side lights. I need to replace them and would also like to replace the kerb light also fitted to my disco with LED but I'm worried that they will start flashing again. is it that the dealer used cheap LED's or is this common?Loving my D3 55 plate

Anyone got a recommendation for the extra bulb that turns on when indicating or turning? Seems a little out of place as a standard halogen

It’s a 501 fitting but I attempted a standard bulb in its years ago and it melted the housing. An LED may be better 2016 RR Sport Autobiography
