    Hi

    Can anyone recommend the correct LED equivalent bulbs i can swap the stock side bulbs for on my 58 Le Mans, I already have xenon adaptive headlights and the yellow bulbs on the side light just look a bit naff, my objective is to have a white light side light to match the xenon colour

    Many thanks in advance

    Hi there,
    I would go for something like :

    Bulbs: AUDI / A6 AVANT / 2008-2009 (58)

    or

    ! PHILIPS LED T10 (501) W5W 4000K BULBS ! | eBay

    or there sea full of them on ebay starting from as low as £1.50 but I would go for more decent ones as from my own experience "ebay special" ones could be little blue 'ish .

    I think the part about life of car maybe just going on expected life of bulb.... but as with any item like that category it could fail whenever...
    I think they also need be replaced in pairs... as they age and one will look different than the other...

    It will be handy to know their response... so have you got warranty with them?

    This was a great forum for info when I was routing around for HID info Link:- HiDplanet : The Official Automotive Lighting Forum

    PM incoming - tell him Chris from VW Audi Forum sent you

    I can recommend his interior bulbs aswell - fitted the whole set to my A3 this afternoon and will be fitting interiors to the A6 too.

    He's easily paid too.

    I have recommended others off here to this guy and they are very satisfied people- Rosso Rocket and DP24V

    I'll go take some pictures of my A3 and post them up - they transform the cabin

    Btw - theyre not your usual ebay tat - he stands by them and will provide a no issue warranty with whatever you buy.

    Well worth the money and 110% recommended

    Excuse the junk in the boot

    Completely agree on not going for the cheap ebay tat - a friend had bought a box 12 or so and he gave me a couple when one of my standard bulbs went. They were different colours, very dim and both failed completely within a couple of months.
