With LED bulbs continuing to become more common on new cars there’s a growing demand for fitting aftermarket LEDs to old cars. Talk about perfect timing, as here comes Philips with their latest range of LED Bulbs that allow you to replace existing halogen sidelight and interior light bulbs.
The LED bulbs are available in W5W and C5W (festoon) sizes and are available in two colours – standard bright white (4000K) or with a blue tint as part of the Blue Vision range (6000K).
The advantage of these Philips bulbs over other LED alternatives is that they are direct replacements for your car’s existing bulbs. Now you don’t have to worry about messing about with wiring and voltage conversion, you simply take out your old halogen bulb and drop in the replacement LED bulb.
LEDs offer big advantages over halogen bulbs – they give out more light (almost twice as much in this case), they can last up to six times longer and they also give out less heat.
I just bought a pair of the BlueVision 6000k leds. There great, well worth the extra money. I got 10% off at http://www.regalautobulbs.co.uk so was a bit cheaper than the company above.
