I've run several sets from UltraLEDs I think and they all failed within a couple of months, due to the heat that the bulb produces.

You may not get that problem with lower, 35w, HIDs but you'd have to try it and see.

Personal recommendation would be PIAA sidelight 'proper' bulbs - they put out about 10w apparently and are definitely brighter than 'normal' proper bulbs.

If you can get some sort of heat resistant LED then that would be ideal.

They will work fine

W5W is the all important code

I think I have a blue tint one, email him and ask if he has blue tinted ones, he's really helpful

Just get white!

Any that are specifically called blue or blue/white are going to be "pull me, I'm a chav" blue LoL
