Right...
Fitted the new bulbs and I think they look great (see gallery).

But I also found that there was wiring in place for the NAS spec sidelights which are housed within the indicator lens. (also see gallery)

Well I couldn't resist could I?

So I fitted the original sidelight bulbs into the empty sockets and hey presto! I now have 2 sidelights on each side!

Anything to be different! Very Happy

Nice Xenons Wink
Those sidelight bulbs look good, I have been trying to upgrade them on my C class to match the xenons.
Normal LED's won't work though as the car has a bulb failure system which does not like them (due to lower current draw I think)
Have emailed them about these ones but not had a reply yet. Sad
 Zermatt silver 06 reg.

Gone but not forgotten !!!

I will have a set of Xenons for sale soon, standard UK spec in full working order. They did have a scratch on the N/S unit but I have polished it out, when fitted with light guards you can't tell at all.

Open to sensible offers and would have to be collected from Yorkshire.

Joy! My uber-bright LEDs have turned up. Going to fit these at the weekend and will see if the daytime running lights fittings are there at the same time as have bought 2 sets of LEDs. Very Happy

Will be looking at the LHD/RHD slider on the xenons too, as off to the Alps again next Friday.
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
