Good man! I have the Philips version of these in the full beam, nice white light! :D
Had them in the headlights in the old Cooper, what a difference!

Has anyone replaced their side lights? I find with the Xenon headlights the side lights just look really yellow. I need bright white side lights if anyone can help!

I did the same, fitted 4 led sidelights for £4.95 each from autobulbsdirect.co.uk. First class service and they help the look of the front of the car. markyc and andyp have the same lights.. :cool:

Brian - i replaced mine with these (http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk/offer.asp) which came free with my order - although they are blue when off they are bright white when on.

Are LEDs for front lights now legal in the UK? I thought they were still banned throughout Europe? Can't understand why though as they will last a lot longer than bulbs.

Wul, are your new bulbs brighter than the ones you stitched sold me ;), cause if they are i will try the new ones
Sassin frassin mini lights are the crappiest in the entire universe :disapprove:

I reckon they are BS - certainly notice an improvement over the standard MINI ones for sure which wouldnae be hard! I'll be putting them to the true test tonight on my way home via the back roads and will report back my findings - however i definately notice the dipped beam more in built up areas.

Dipped is terrible, i can honestly say i can't see past about 10 - 15 yards, plus, if there's oncoming traffic their lights just over power mine :(
So, keep me posted Wul :p then when you sell this mini i'll buy yer bulbs ;)
