Sidelight bulbs - comparison pictures, standard, LED, halogen, power bulbs

With so many bulb choices I thought I would take some pics.
In all of these the bulb to the right is the standard one.

Mikey, what would be a good match for the pre-2005 Xenons? Powerbulbs?

LED I'd say. You're never going to get a colour match with a conventional bulb. I've had the powerbulb sidelights and the pics make them appear a lot bluer than they are in real life. It's almost impossible to properly capture light outputs with a camera.

It was acceptable in the 80's

Perfectly legal, unless you get caught
