Many on the market but beware of their colours as there are warm white and bright white and the colour may be significant for running board or interior lights.
Bright white tend to have a better illumination and this may be too much for running board lights, but not enough for interior lights, and replacing the interior lights may present an issue with the fade in and out circuits. |

I do prefer the bright white for the interior lights (makes it so much easier to see) never thought about the fade in /out for the running lights but they should work im using a circuit with an automatic fader in my shed and that works great with a standard car T10 led (well 4 T10s). |

Well changed all the lights in the interior and what a difference,changed running board lights for the same white bulb and they look much better than the orange lights,tried some in the side lights and they look great,but look a bit out of place with halogen headlight bulb,was wondering if any one else as used the led replacement h4 headlight bulbs as they would look nice with led sidelight bulbs. |

Yes i do like the blue leds but swmbo wants Pink!!!!
The led h4 replacements are good as i have been told (not used them myself) but from what i have heard there is not much difference between dipped and full beam and i don't think the h4 leds are actually road legal as the spread is all wrong (or something like that) but something you should be made aware of, I have bright white side lights (leds) but halogen headlights there is a difference in colour but im using osram night breakers which are suppose to be more whiter but and to be honest still look slightly yellowish.
What type of leds did you put in your side steps? in the end |

maybe compromise and put one in the passenger vanity mirror.
Or put two different colours of LED in and use a changeover switch, best of both worlds then and full appeasement.
You are correct about LED headlight bulbs Simon, they are illegal and plod have already cottoned onto this and are issuing tickets for non E marked lights as you have to fit the entire LED headlight and not simply replace the bulb as to get the E mark they have to match the bulb to the reflector, and the reflector to the lens. |

thats a good idea twin lights, its a shame i cant do seperate remotes (his and hers) use mine blue lights and hers pink lights. I did think about this before with the drivers seat, where it sets to mine or hers with the different remotes! |

Yes,going to knock the led option on the head and go or some nightbreakers,the standard halogens look like candles in an old lantern next to the led side lights. |
