Apologies for raising old topics, but I notice that Demon Tweeks are selling PIAA LED sidelights in twin and 6 light options.

I was interested in the twin white/blue which is 2 white and 2 blue (I guess) in the same fitment. As I wanted to best match my Xenons and eradicate the cuurrent horrible yellowy look.

However I have read here that 6 may be better as it spreads the light better. These only come in white.

What do people recommend and anyone tried the twin or 6 fitments?

I could only find the 2-led version on their site?

I had a 4 led version of them in blue and they didnt match the xenons at all

Guess I'll just stick to E-marked 5W5 bulbs then.... the xenons speak for themselves

I have white 2 led sidelight wedge bulbs from mikeythemini. not as bright as the regular bulbs, however a perfect match for the Xenons...

So those are the 'white' ones, not the 'blue' ones? As per:

I have the 6 LED sidelight fitted and been running them for approx 2 weeks. Initially I thought there as a problem with them as they weren't lighting. I didn't relise they had to be plugged in in the correct way, so once I turned them a round they worked well.
I would say that they are very bright OUT OF THE lens but once re-seated they are only slightly brighter than the standard but match the xenons well. I bought the white 6 LED versions and they are actually quite blue.

Click on the 'Select Option' dropdown list for the 6 LED.

Great, where did you get 'm?
(Can't find 'm on their site)

Mr Fish, I have added a link for you.

Just to add, I tried the Phillips Blue Vision sidelights as I have about 10 pairs knocking around the house. I didn't think they matched the xenons very well and thus went for the LED's.

Thank, but wow! That is alot of money for a bunch of LED's... €56.07 including shipping to The Netherlands.
