What side bulbs are in your headlights matey? Looking at getting some cree bulbs as sidelights but fear they might be too bright.

I took the sidelight bulbs out the headlights and routed them to the indicators instead, the holders are still there to be used but tucked inside the headlight housing

I got these ones fitted

You could get some diadem bulbs in there.

You probably know this but they are chrome when off but orange when on.

I never had to modify the lights for the bulb holders since these SVT/ZX3 lights luckily came with its own loom so chopped the reverse loom off and connected to my indicator loom without removing the plug and the flash rates the same, the only downside is although u can get the bulbs in this country I don't think you can get them in amber hence the tint paint to the bulb

one picture i never put up was how i connected to the SVT reverse loom to my indicator loom whilst still retaining the UK indicator plug
