F430 Side lights

[Harrydino1]

Hi All,
My main lights are a bright white xenon but my side light bulbs are a yellow light. Anyone changed the bulbs to a white light to match the main headlights? If so what bulbs do you recommend?
Cheers
Harry

Yes, see https://www.scuding.com/Shop/en/ilual-drl-solution...

Yoy can swap the bulbs for direct replacement LED versions they aren't great due to uneven light distribution within the housing.

These look fantastic.

Anyone successfully fitted these to a right hand drive 430 - if so how was the experience?

Piece of cake. The worst part is actually getting to the bulb rather than sliding in the strip, but it's not difficult.

Been considering getting a set but I'm worried how yellow the strip looks when not lit - do you have any pics of how it looks when off?

Just ordered a set then received an email of Stef to say.......
After the first release of our F430 DRL headlights, we continued our research to improve them and make them even more brighter. The new version will now receive an additional chemical layer to hide the yellow phosphor layer. This will make the DRL light appear now completely neutral through the headlights as the yellow layer won’t appear through the lens anymore.

We except to start shipping the new version in about 10 days.

Roll on 10 days!

Anyone want to buy a yellow set?

Just ordered the new type.

They do look good! Think I will have put an order in!

[j3gme]

Really easy to fit

[Harrydino1]

LooIs fantastic. I'm def getting a set. How long did they take to fit? Did u take the front wheels off?

[j3gme]

Better to take the wheels off... But not essential...... 40 minutes to do the job
Really bright in the sunshine fantastic piece of kit.

DK Eng fitting mine today

I also bought that rear set with middle strip but they're stuck in customs, I forgot that Switzerland isn't in the EU so Customs charges apply.

[actonktm]

What's the customs charge for the rear. Loving my fronts that I fitted yesterday.

£179 including Parcelforce handling fee (£166 VAT)

All fitted now fronts and rears (all four now light up) and I'd like to thank Stef and his team for their excellent products. Seems like a small thing overall but these mods create a disproportionately positive drama about the car.

Great stuff!

[mwstewart]

My new version fronts arrived.

Next mod: https://www.scuding.com/Shop/en/ilual-led-reartail...

Any pics/vids of the rears

Anyone gone for the full set of front rear with ecu controller?
Any good?
