technically these 6000k bulbs have less light out put than the 43000k OE ones but because they are a whiter light in my eyes they equal or better the OE bulbs... ... - .- -.

can you link me to the ones you used in the mirrors? How involved is it to get to/replace them? I thought i recalled you have to remove the whole mirror etc.? PS...if you want the whitest/brightest OEM look for LED's ALWAYS go with CREE. Those are the only ones I do nowadays for all my cars. You will be able to tell its CREE as the LED looks like it has a clear shell and then a green chip inside it. |

to remove the bulb housing point the mirror glass toward the sky to allow access at the bottom. if you shine a torch in you should see the the clip for the bulb housing. i released it using a thin screw driver. can be tricky but once you have done it a few times its a doodle.

Mark, there are LED blocks available with a fitting kit (for any bulb holder) on the bay of e! "been covered here several times!" that will give you much more light than a single replacement bulb |

If you take the two hidden screws out then the front of the light comes off for fitting |

if you switch off cold and hot monitoring with the iidtool ,this should stop the flickering. ... - .- -.
