After reading Pondmans thread about his new reverse light bulbs i decided to buy some others and see how they performed. Firstly stop tail bulbs, i had previously been using led cluster bulbs behind smoked lenses. Not easy to see on a bright day, after swapping them with a set of these the difference is amazing, they are so much brighter, possibly even brighter than traditional bulbs. I'll get some pics up over the weekend if anyones interested. Secondly side lights, wow! I have tried just about every different led sidelight bulb available and these make them all look pathetic. I am pretty confident i could drive at night just using them. They are to normal led's what HID's are to normal lights. Before After Just one Both Just waiting for my H1 cree foglight bulbs to arrive from china!

You sure they will fit. I got some led fog lights but they wouldn't fit through the hole. It's bulb shaped.....

If they fit I will have to get some. My side lights are led and it makes my fogs look yellow.

They DO look good, and in the fog at the moment they would be more than useful. The number of idjits driving sans illumination today was astounding; Chelsea tractors on the school run in an absolute pea-souper around the Bluebell Hill area in Kent. Time for another thread...

Ok, got my cree fog lights today, not an easy job but.... The bulbs are too big to simply replace the originals, luckily i had a spare set of side light clusters to play with. Basically i drilled out the holes and removed the metal cup from inside, i can write up a 'how to' with pics if anyone needs it. Before After One of each Pics at night Side lights only Sides and fogs Sides, fogs and dipped (HID) Sides, fogs and main beam (HID)

you have taken the crown for led king James I think we've known that for a long time, just think about his interior LED's Jame5, when are you going to LED up the high level brake light? You've got a dead bulb on one, so you might as well do the rest of them
