Footwell Red LED's

Post by nocturnal67 »

Hi all,
I know this subject has probably been done to death, but I want some decent 'RED' LED's for my footwells. I got some W5W's off ebay which look similar to the standard bulbs but are solid red plastic one end and clear the other, read all the posts about how to fit and managed that, but they arent bright at all, even after altering brightness in MFD. I have seen where guys have fitted the flat type in white and they look great from the pics.

Please can someone recommend a retailer for RED LED's and what bulb spec I need? Many Thanks.

On an unrelated note, has anyone seen the October issue of 'Fast Car'? Its got a nice article on a Candy White thats been mod'd with a poster of it free inside.

I would suggest getting smd type LEDs. Their is loads of red smd LEDs on eBay just have a look around. I find that smds are the brightest.

Something like this perhaps
