    Me too .. 11.50 of eBay. Should work well with the uprated loom when that's fitted.

    my lights should be pretty good for at least the next four weeks, before i get this rally grill on, that has 55w lamps all round so might end up chnaging them,

    anyway i got my LED's through today heres a comparison pic

    ill get a night time pic later tonight, but you can clearly see the difference in colour, and the light output is relitively similar except of course the led's are much more direct

    what do we think ?

    Lookin' good. :thumbup: Interested to see how they look at night now.

    On the subject of the Rallye grill, these are notorious for being a bit underpowered in the lighting department! Upgraded relays and bulbs seem to be a must.

    so ive heared, ive got the relay already but the bulbs im running currently are 100 odd watt as opposed to just the 55w the rallye lights have so ill probably see a big difference when i get them running.

    I've posted this before, but just to show you what they look like with crystals. The reason why the LED'S are a bit more direct is beacuse they are directional, ive heard rubbing them down with sandpaper slightly will make the light travel in a few more directions, so that could be worth a try. Anyway heres the pic:

    Did you fall over while you were taking that picture? Why's it at a funny
    angle?

    Not selling it yet anyway, spent too much money and time fixing it up!
