So here are the pics after I purchased these 360 degree LED city lights.
1. total of 8 small LEDs on each bulb
2. these were taken in daylight/dusk.
3. I can get night pics ( I will upload them later)
4. yes the car is dirty
5. yes I have a shitty camera (bad quality)
6. No, I had no errors

Yes they sure do, I walked out to my car this morning for work, I hit the unlock button... it put a smile on my face

I bought 2 sets of these lights (thought I could use them in the interior as well)! (exact ones shown below) I am located in USA and will sell one set for 15 shipped, which is cheaper than the guy on ebay selling for 22USD plus long shipping delay. If interested they are brand new - PM me

I upgraded my w5w's over the weekend, so I will go ahead and add a couple of pics. My leds were the 2 on each side (4 total).

look great! by the way mine gave an error after a few months of use, took them out to inspect, and they smelt burnt with burnt marks.

seems the resistors got so hot the burnt out.. so they were giving an error. still lit fine, but the error was irritating so i took them out..

now i have LCI xenons

Jon. · 06-07-2011, 12:14 PM

Do the Xenon headlights have this?

aacabriolet · 06-07-2011, 12:27 PM

Nope. Park lights are replaced with angel eyes on xenon lights.

Jon. · 06-07-2011, 12:45 PM

Ah right

Thanks
