    Default Nova lights

    I put on new headlights and side lamps on my Nova today. "White" headlamps and white LED side lamps. I'm fairly content with them, but I wish the headlamps were more white. I'd get HID's, but no projectors available for the Nova, so they wouldn't be that pretty.

    I'm thinking about switching the reverse light, interior light, and license plate light to white LED's as well. Kinda thinking about size and if I can get them online. I don't wanna buy a bulb for no reason. If anyone has done it to theirs, mind if you link me to the bulb you got? Thanks in advance.

    standard hit H4 bulbs will be yellow ish as they are old and cheap.

    You can get uprated more powerful bulbs to get a cleaner light (i did it)
    Led bulbs are the best thing for a clean white light and they'll last longer...

    My side lights, 15 super bright leds. (on left, old bulbs on right)



    The difference between them on the right and the 5 led ones on the left.

    I thought the whole point of side lights were that they were dim?

    Never heard that. I thought it was side lights for lower light conditions but when the street lights are on.

    And in my eyes you want all lights to be bright...

    Where did you get those super bright side LED's? No one has them here. You have a link to an online page or something? Or could you tell me how much they cost you? I paid like, 10 quid to get 4 LED bulbs per side lamp.

    I might WD40 the left bulb socket as the bulb likes to flicker. I think it may be dirty and rusty, so that will clean it up.

    Also, are these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-White-CRE...-/141659013978) good for the reverse light and license plate light?
