Default White LED sidelight bulbs - recommendations?

Looking for a couple of sidelight bulbs for a VW bora and want something that gives a decent amount of light and will last, whats everyone using?

They're standard 501 capless wedges.

just bought a set from brightlightleds.co.uk via fb

not fitted them yet so can't tell you how they look, but will probably do it later this evening and get some snaps

less than £4 for the pair

As Dojj said, eBay ones can be hit and miss if they are any good/bright.

If you're on fordtalk there's a guy on there that makes top notch led bulbs.

Yeah I'm trying to avoid the hit and miss ebay quality, had plenty of that in the past. Just want to fit and forget!

Dojj, let me know how they turn out!

Carlos, cheers for the heads up, but not on fordtalk mate.

ok, so not the best pic in the world, but they are brighter than the normal ones that ford fitted and they work too

but now my xenon one has stopped working so

it's a wiring issue so i know it's not the led's that have done it, the other side works fine
