Anyone know off-hand what the specs are for these?

Seen some nice blue ones on fleabay, 12v 10w, sound about right?

You need the 5W 501 style.

Cool thanks mate, I have a spare set of those!

Depends if you want actual blue or bluey white. The blue sidelight bulbs actually give out a white light, whereas the ones I've linked are blue (or so they say). LEDs give a really cool effect, but aren't super bright. If you've got the rear reading lights fitted, the bulbs in there are the same 501 type, but I don't think LEDs will fit in there coz they're a tight fit in the holders. I'm now info'ed out!

Lol, just been out and fitted the ones i have, will have to wait until dark to see how blue they look, but if they are anything like the sidelights then they should look good.

Bulbs work a treat, as you say they're not totally blue but do give a nice blueish-white light. I think it's due to the colour of the light lens maybe filtering out some of the blue, but i'm happy!
