Your headlights are not legal to start with. All these led and or odd colours side lights are not road legal in the same way. However just like HIDs as long as there a sensible colour generally white or yellow ish you will normally not get pulled and will often pass a MOT. However that does not make them legal. Only legal ones are normal ece approved side light bulbs and all the big brand ones are much of a muchness. Normally Philips or Osram are some of the best quality ones. Hope that is some help.

A lot of us know that HID's are illegal, but most of us get sensible colours. 6000K is fine, I've never had problems with them.

For your sidelights, just get these:

Started that thread not too long ago, was in the same situation as you. I've taken pictures of comparisons and links on where to buy them.

They actually look really nice in the number plate lights!

I like the glow they leave on the floor behind the car :)
