Don't put 100W H4 bulbs in them if they are plastic, like another ausmini member did once... :!:

It's illegal to show anything but white light to the front.
How do I know this- the nice policeman told me, he didn't like my dayglo green parkers/blinkers (back in 1968..) :lol: :cry:

i have the angel eyes as well but like doc says, you can't have 100W will melt the headlight! 85W MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL SEALED BEAMS.
you don't have to have coloured LEDS my angel eyes are ultra white so very legal and happy to drive at dusk with just parkers on 8)

[RANT]You are not supposed to drive with parkers on. It is quite funny how parking lights got their name. It is because they are supposed to be used on parked cars. Get it.. Parking Lights = Lights for parking.

If it is dark enough for you to turn on your lights turn your dang headlights on. You may be able to see without needing headlights but that bloke that is pulling out of the sidestreet may appreciate being able to see your headlights instead of not seeing your piddly little parking lights. [/RANT]

On my Lotus the owners manual calls them running lights. Maybe you leave them on when you park to go for a jog?

I am the one who imported these Angel eyes for Minis. I still have some sets left if any one wants them. I thought the trend was out ! Any way call me or email me.
