Am I right in thinking that the sidelights are 501's?

Do I just need silvertec bulbs If I am going to de tango my headlights?

Why does this ST have orange bit at the bottom of the headlight and my one has it at the top?





Sorry for all the questions

Ohhh I see!

Are the new headlights interchangeable with the old ones?

Also are the sidelight bulbs 501?

New and old headlights should be a straight swap. I think

Wahooo!

I found out all about the sidelights as well

Has anyone managed to fit in 32mm sidelights? Do we think there will be enough room?

They have standard size ones but the bigger ones are brighter and more powerful.

Has anyone tried using LED's as sidelights?

Do you get a warning light or anything?

Are you joking?

I have had LED's in my old car for 3 years and never heard this?

I am not on about ahving blue ones! They are white and (pure white)

I wouldn't dream of putting chav tastic lights near my car

Yeah this is true just make sure they are white or a light yellow and they will not bother you!
I had some in my last car for 2 years and i do go to cruises to see friends and the police in west yorkshire like to move people on quite often.

changing my bulbs should be on next todo list.

As for the headlights in question I believe someone in fact did a straight swap on here no? Might need some attention when it comes to wiring?
