side light upgrade recommendations

[maccavvy]

My side lights are the obvious not very white usual bulbs but I have HID in the dip beam.
Any ideas what bulbs would suit these and still look ok
also what fitment are the indicator bulb as I wanna fit the silver ones.

car is 04 monaro

Go on ebay and look under multi led side lights, these fitted to a few cars on forum.

are they 501 capless

I've yet to find some amber 501 LEDs that do it for me - tried a couple and they seemed to have poor dispersion.

I really like my LED indicators though, think they were these: http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/1156-5w-cree-led-bulb...

Double check if they're 1156 or 1157, I can't remember!

edit: not the best pics, but de-tango'd examples 1, 2

I saw these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231534537958?_trksid=p20... at £1.20 a pair its not a big risk (not that I've done that yet!!). They look as if they will radiate all round, so I am guessing they will give a good sidelight effect (a bit subjective that though).

PS How's the LPG going - it must have paid for itself by now?

[maccavvy]

Gas conversion is going well thanks.. paid for itself by now,as we went to lemans in it for the 24hr.
