Anyone Recommend A Good Colour To Change Side Lights Too? (Mk6 Fiesta Zetec)

Featured Replies

looking to change the colour of my side lights but not sure on what is legal and what isn't? also looking for colour recommendations that would look good with a silver car

I think the requirement is the flash has to be orange/amber whatever it is. . . but the actual colour of the glass won't matter too much. However anything other than tinted or clear isn't really a good look IMO

haha sorry mate i mean i wanna change the bulb colour not the actual headlight unit

Oh !Removed!, when you said sidelight, I thought you meant side reapeater light looool. . . oh requirements for sidelights. Sorry

haha dont worry, i didnt word it very well so it could be easily confused

Ok what I will say is, probably just change them to something that's bright and not too different from what you already have? I assume they're 501 Capless? Don't get crappy ones from China off ebay.

yeah i believe they are 501 capless and i want something brighter because my headlights and side lights are quite dull/dim so i was thinking like a ice white for my headlights and possible like a bluey colour for my sidelights?

Yeah get LED Canbus ones. Mine look abit like this

t10-501-w5w-13-led-bulbs-pair-161-250x25

I even noticed an improvement overall when using headlights too.

You said indicators . . . the OP is asking whether he can have coloured sidelights

You said

Not sure "Amber side lights are legal."

I said "Indicators"

By this I meant INDICATORS ARE AMBER.

Yes I know that !

Indicators are certainly normally amber - sidelights are not - hence I said - not sure amber sidelights are legal

But I didn't say Amber sidelights are legal? Where are you getting that from?

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

I said lights to the front must he

WHITE OR AMBER

Headlights - white

Side lights - white

Indicators AMBER

Yes I know that - i'm responding to the OP's question about sidelight colour & not your correct statement !
