Title: Mk1 i30 sidelights replacement
Post by: npjrogers on November 21, 2015, 12:56:36: Good morning from Ireland. Can anyone tell me if I can replace my regular sidelight bulbs with aftermarket led bulbs on a plug and play basis. If so can anyone suggest a supplier. I would like to convert my sidelights to daylight running light without adding any additional mountings of modifying the electrics. Thanks in advance for your advice. PS the led lookup table found elsewhere in the forum will not display on my ipad :-( sorry.

I've got aftermarket LEDs in my sidelights - when I sold my FD I simply moved them over to my GD - plug&play.

Something like these may be better:
