Lightbulb swapped sidelight/indicator

i decided i wanted a new look at the front in the dark so ive swapped my indicators and sidelights round, quite easily done and i think it makes the car look a bit different
see what you think




(adjusted size)

yeah had to chop them, the former indicators are now 15mm leds and the sidelights have the original indicator bulbs(silver vision to avoid any tangoing) a little shaving round the plug area was required to fit the bulb in

i replaced the leds behind the dash with blue ones, they look pretty good too, noticed these 15mm ones and got the idea for the sidelight swap

looks good - but I reckon you need to swap your headlamp bulbs to something a bit more white looking. What bulbs are in at present?

yeah i know, they look hellish with the led sidelights.
the bulbs are Philips BlueVision, thinking of trying the PIAA blue jobbies, just hope they dont look like theyre off a bodykitted nova

I was going to suggest the philips blue vision's - I used to have them in mine and though they looked a lot whiter than that.

Mine with the Osram Silver Stars in if it's a help.
