Please bare in mind Marv, LEDs put out 90% of their light directly in front of them. Bulbs however, tend to give a broader light output, which is why they still use em in brand new cars today, rather than LEDs.

Anyway, i seen a set of them LED rear bulbs on a corsa with clear clusters and all u cud see was a spot of red where the LED bulb was. looked shite. Now i realise ur clusters are tinted/laquered, but i wudnt be suprized if u still got the same effect.

PS: u want coloured bulbs with out fading? got a top tip.......wrap a standard clear bulb in cluster repair tape of the right colour. Will never fade/burn, and show as a bright red/orange etc

IIRC they dont fit without modifying the light cluster to increase the size of the holes. :(

i know that you can buy them, for brake lights/side lights etc but do they fit into the corsa lenses as the holes seem very tight

i need some as im going thru my "re-legalise" car stage and my lights are orrange/brown/green lol

any advice please?
