I've got some normal filament ones in mine that are over 2x brighter than stock, and slightly whiter - but not the usual LED bright white/blue colour.
I use 'em in the boot light and interior lights too so you can actually bloody see something when rummaging around in the boot at night.
Custom roll cages/shiny suspension bits/general fabrication work undertaken, PM me.

Well I know what bulbs not to get anyway.
I bought some Bosch Pure Light bulbs from Hellfrauds earlier. What a load of shite. They're exactly the same! They shall be getting returned.

I ordered some halogen bulbs off ebay yesterday for £1.99 with free postage.
I had a look in the motor factors and all they had were LED things that were £4 EACH!

there you go, but be warned, it did take a while for these to arrive - recommend opting for recorded delivery IF possible.
they fit on my phase 1, dont know what lights phase 2 and 3's have, maybe the same?
