My sidelight ( the little light above the headlight ) is rather yellow.
I wish to upgrade this so that it is as white as possible.
Has anyone upgraded this for an LED bulb ? Did it make much difference ?

Re: Sidelight upgrade
Got the six LED white brilliant probably won't need the headlight now 

I was born with nothing and I still have most of it left.
Re: Sidelight upgrade
Saw this, and ordered the 2nd brightest one thay had on their site.
It's slightly too long, and the lens won't quite fit back on it's seating.
Looks cool though.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: Sidelight upgrade
The reflector in mine had lost all its 'shine' so I thought I could glue some tin-foil on it. Seemed to make a bit of a difference, when I took the cover off after a few months, the tin-foil had disintegrated and the bulb was a sort of chrome plate - weird, can't remember too much about school/college/uni to understand why!
