will i have problems when i fit my hid kit?

Per bulb you are looking at around the £20 mark for all parts, electronics and a 5W LED. Still trying to figure out how to heatsink a 5W LED into the socket, but once done, I will fit a pair onto H8T WP's car and take some pictures.

FThen you would need to find somewhere to put your ballasts and your starters (can either cable it tie it down or stick it to the side of the lights) Plug it all together and off you go.

Note these resistor do get HOT so make sure they are NOT near any wiring [ ideally fix to some metal work] Hid4u are a good company and the kit is complete, has long as you defined what car/model you are fitting to.

All side lights and so forth are 12V. For 5W lights you need to consume 400mAh @ 12V. If each LED is running at say 20mAh, you need 20 of them to consume that sort of power. At a rough guess that is.

rite so how do i make that happen? i no what you mean i had a pair of resistor thingys today to see if they worked and one did get very hot but strangly the otha one didnt, they didnt do the job anyhow so they went back

I assume you know that they only fit one way and will not work like a ordinary bulb which is not dependant on pos/neg fitting [some led's have a mark denoting pos+ connection]

yea dur i tried it both ways it was cheap shite i paid like 7 pound each for them but i thought it was worth a try. hav u got leds in ure interior lighting? when mine go out the two main spots stay on but really really dimly i cant figure it out

I know the covers are from an Ibiza but I'm thinking the Leon must have a similar thing.
With my kit the instructions suggested a 24mm hole but I drilled 22mm.
The rubber seals fit tighter so no water getting in!
