No they are w5w like side lights
I recommend the 30 led ultra bright led module for centre light and 13 led ones for rest

I have replaced the sidelight with LED and added the angel eyes in the fog lights. Now I find the headlights to be a bit yellow, not the pure white like the led's. Any advice on bulb's that give the white led look

Burdy,
I too have noticed that pure white LED has made the Xenons look yellowish ?
Are there any bulbs to upgrade the standard ones ?

Hi Chalky and Burdy
The OEM Hid bulbs are indeed a yellowish white.
I really dont like that colour light to drive with and have tried all the bulbs under the sun to find the best compromise between lightoutput, light colour and looks.
Its down to budget at the end of the day.
The best of the best for looks and performance for me out of all the bulbs are these:

But they are not cheap - well in fact they are cheap as a pair of the upgrade bulbs from me costs less than one bog standard yellow one from the stealer.

I took a picture of the lights, so you can see the yellowish vs white different.

Hi Ian,
Are you getting more of the cool white sidelight bulbs in stock soon? Are the warm white ones too yellow to match with xenon headlamps or would they be OK?
Cheers, David

So which LED strips are people ordering for the load space area ?
The little light right in the back ?
Also and just to be a pain in the @rse, can you upgrade the lights at the side of the vanity mirrors ?

Hi Chalky, the one I've ordered is the 12-led strip in warm-white. I think that's the biggest one that will fit. As soon as I get a chance to fit it (hopefully tonight) I'll post up a photo of how it fits in.
Can't comment on the mirror lights, but SWMBO is a libran so she probably uses them!
