Which sidelights do we buy now? The link has expired from Dantolo's original post.
There's so many LED SMD and they all look different.
These
These say they are BMW/Audi only, but would they be the right shape and size for GTV?
Thanks
Your link does not point to a specific bulb so cannot say whether or not they would fit. I bought some that were too long - there is not room for much extra length, approximately an extra 10mm over the standard W5W length. Standard W5W is 27mm long x 10mm diameter, The over-long bulbs I bought had a diameter of 11.8mm and went through the aperture OK.

These look like they will fit W5W LED and reviews are good.

Could someone please post a link to the sidelight bulbs. All the links I click on seem to have expired.

I bought the bulbs I linked to and had them fitted today, they are a good 'normal' white and quite a bit brighter than the ordinary filament bulbs, very pleased with them.

But have you fitted them? If so, please give a report and post a picture.

They are obviously not the "same thing", the differences are obvious to me. Plenty of cheap W5W LEDs around and plenty of bad reports.

I went for these because of the good reports, and they are very good, pity they are not presently available, I bought mine about a week ago, maybe I bought the last pair.
