for £16 you could replace the side lights with white LED replacements..they would look white/blue just like the xenons...these wee lights really aren't used for vision just as markers...i plan on replacing the indicators and the brake lights in the rear cluster with leds and the front indicators and side lights with leds aswell...only ones that will be filaments will be the side indicators as i don't think there are led types to replace them with.

think it should look sweet....anyone know anywhere else to buy these from as they are quite expensive.

but i have yet to find anyone else that does combined stop and brake lights that use leds..so looks like i might have to fork out!

Minty fitted some LED sidelights a while back now.

Should be noted they're not road legal here.

Minty · Sep 16th, 2003, 08:07 PM

thanks paul.....they do look wicked though

everyone that sees them likes them.

(just hope no police persons read this!)

B4d4Bing · Sep 16th, 2003, 08:57 PM

Yes, but I'm sure they saw them when you put them on for shows, because that's the only time I'm sure you'd use them? Right?

B4d4Bing · Sep 16th, 2003, 09:24 PM

i am sure the coppers won't see them as they tend not to go to car shows!! cough cough!! LOL

Minty · Sep 17th, 2003, 11:22 AM

they were £25 for the pair...from some website...got the link at home.
no photos, but will take some tonight...with my new phillips blue vision bulbs in too.

S

p.s. of course i only fit them at shows ...

minigolf · Jul 11th, 2004, 08:47 AM

Haha, so, how those pics coming along Minty ... you've had almost 9 months now.

I tried to do this mod today, but had a few troubles finding an auto place that stocked the appropriate globes. I had to order in the Philips Silver Vision indicator globes, so next week for them ... and for the side lights I bought the wrong part! I thought they were a bayonet fitting like the indicator globe, alas, they're those funny plug in style of globe. D'oh!

So I'll get to do it all next week.

monkeynuts · Jul 11th, 2004, 05:47 PM

you like your phones you dont ya lol

minigolf · Jul 16th, 2004, 12:53 PM

I fitted some Philips BlueVision 5W side lights tonight ... and ... they're not much of an improvement over the yellow OEM side lights. Hmm, next...

Damo · Jul 17th, 2004, 02:13 AM

Ive had them all, *And given the ones I dont use to other Mini2ers

Thw White LEDs (4) I had where too blue for xenons. The Blue vision too yellow.

I bought from mikythemini some halogen side lights, theyre spot on, and best bit is they dont lok blu through the lens.

Cheers, who makes them?

Damo · Jul 17th, 2004, 06:56 PM

I thought it was Osram, but they dont list anything like what Mikeys sells, so probably not.

I dont have a digital camera of my own. Maybe able to borrow Cooperchick66s tomorrow as still after pics of my gear knob, under seat lighting and new MiniDisc changer cover.

AidenL · Jul 17th, 2004, 08:23 PM

I hate the look of my blue ones, too obviously blue when the lights aren't on...........

Ian Clark · Jul 18th, 2004, 12:35 AM

Damo, I have a Digi Cam. If you make the Dales run, I'll sort out the pics you need
