What led bulbs that just push in as per the oe bulbs? how much?:)

[peester]

yeah or already in the holder, but quality can be a bit :-s
halford stores do prism branded ones, though only in police blue mainly, sidelight bulbs are in white though..
i used to use ultraleds..

Bit pricey but look good..

Benn, Thanks for the offer, might see what my local motor factors can rustle up first, before risking bulbs in the post. Will let you know how i get on :) :thumb:
