Hi guys Galaxy failed on a sidelight. I got a replacement. Regular type. BUT it had LED types fitted. This was removed.  So now I have two different looking but working lights. Could this be a fail again?   |

Thank you very much for your reply. I will be ordering some LED items off ebay and replacing the new one I just did. Right now its just about a pass. I could not deal with odd lights. |

As already said above, they need to look about the same output and colour. For the ease of it not failing I'd replace them as a pair anyway  (and beware of which brand of LED replacement you go for, as they all seem to last a couple of weeks and then start the blasted flickering trick or not working at all  I've started using Osram LED replacemnts, as they seem to have very good output and life. Although a tad on the expensive side) |

I would have thought that blue one was a little too blue? Even if the oddness of lights didnt matter for MOT, if it was on my own car it would irritate me somewhat. I always replace bulbs in pairs, atm ive got somesort of brighter white light standard sidelight bulb in the cube, fully rotating fingers are required for changing them so I hope they don't blow in a hurry. Id imagine the bulbs above would be more likley to fail on the blueness of one rather than the difference between them.

The Blue one looks like a Squad car which is not allowed unless you are an Emergency vehicle
