GT3 Indicator and Side Light Upgrade

[arbell9]

Hi All,

this last week I have upgraded or I should probably say modernised my front side lights and side indicators.

I bought the clear lenses and indicator bulbs for both the side indicators and front side lights from David Walters Esprit Performance site.

and

The standard sidelight bulb is a 501 W5W bulb and not the brightest of things

so I searched the internet for an LED replacement and found what I was looking for at Autobulbs Direct.

I purchased two types of LED bulb, one with 6 LEDs facing forwards and one type that hase 19 LEDs in a cluster.

With the purchase you get two free "extreme white" standard 501W5W bulbs.

I have tried them all and found the 19 LED cluster bulb to be best as it cascades light sideways to the reflector and forwards.

The two free bulbs weren't good enough to warrant any pictures of those fitted. But I think they will be useful in the dash where i have a couple of dim bulbs.

Here is the old front side lights:

LED cluster bulb without lense fitted:

Compare to old bulb:

Now with both new bulbs fitted:

Below is a picture with one of the forward facing 6 LED bulbs fitted and compared next to old one. Definitely not quite as bright as the 19 LED cluster type.

I am really pleased with how it looks, and later i will try and take a night picture to see what they are like. Dave if you want to use these pictures on your site feel free to do so.

I must not forget ot add this, it shows the clear lense side indicators fitted aswell as the clear fron lenses.

Cheers

Those 19 LEDs are a huge improvement to the standard candles.

They look ace, I'll have to get some for the SE

That looks nice.

Will you use them as daytime running lights?

[arbell9]

I only use these in the daytime if its very overcast with dark clouds or when in woodland cover, mostly because my dark green blends in too much. I prefer only bikers to have day time running lights as they need it.

Nicely done dude....

Did you manage this without any screwdriver injuries?

Looks good, I have been thinking of replacing all my bulbs with LED as the ones I have always seem weak almost like they dont have enough power.
