LED Bulbs that will fit in the Light Unit Hole
I bought some LED sidelight bulbs (recommended by a someone one here) but the pesky things don't fit through the hole in the unit. Only a bit frustrating as they took 5 weeks to arrive, Shipped by sea from China apparently!
Has anyone fitted replacement bulbs in LED form to a D3/D4? (They might the same for a D3) If so, where did you get them?

Try these, another weeks wait though for the price of them order 4 and you've got some spares.
You don't want anything less than 18LEDs, 30 are nearly as bright as standard fog lights 8)It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

I recall that my reversind leds didn't quiet fit either. Some grinding to widen the hole and some pushing got them in.

I think the 5000K ones are the best match for Xenons , but please check as I am not 100% sure.

I reckon that I'd have to ream out the hole by 2mm which is fine but if I ever wanted to return to OEM sidelights they'd be slack as a yak with a broken back and would require packing.
I've ordered a pair from HIDS4U - 10 times the price of the Ebay ones but I can return them if they don't fit.
Thanks for the leads fellahs

FWIW I've tried a few ebay cheapy ones, some are far too blue and get knocked back at MOT time, others have either just failed completely or gone intermittent with the light flickering.
I ended up getting the HIDS4U ones and never had a problem since Clive

I can confirm that the HIDS4U lights fit and work perfectly.
