I dont think they upgrade the side ones as they arent any availiable. I think loads of people were asking why they didnt but never found out

Jay,

There are some threads about this the "Lighting and Other Electrical" forum... I think the answer was to replace with blue tint bulbs or led's...

BTW what did you pay for the conversion??

Alex.

Standard side light bulbs are 5 watt, found them to be dull and orangey in colour , Halford sell 15 watt bulbs , the heads are slightly bigger but do fit through lens . Have fitted them on mine and lights are a lot brighter and more white in colour . Been fitted on the car for a year with no probs.
