Default LED parking lights (H6W) report

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/84815/lights.jpg"></center><p>Bought them on Ebay. A bit pricey at about $30/pair which incl. ship from the UK. As you can see in the pics, the LED (left side of photo) is easily half as bright. Yes, the light is on in the day shot.
I have done clear corners and the amber lens is glued in about 2" behind the clear which is why there is a little bit of white light bleed around the edges. You only tend to see this if your eyes are at the level of the lights.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/XENON-SIDE-LIGHT-LED-VW-GOLF-R32-H6W_W0QQitemZ250046441420QQihZ015QQcategoryZ72235Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">http://cgi.ebay.com/XENON-SIDE-LIGHT-LED-VW-GOLF-R32-H6W_W0QQitemZ250046441420QQihZ015QQcate

They (LED) don't appear to be bright enough

Default You just can't get the lumens out of those small bulbs

I tried them in mine, same results. Incandescent bulbs have their applications for sure.

Default May work better if they lit up orange..

Then we could possibly just leave the orange lens out completely.

Uhh, I will not be, but that doesn't mean they won't be around.
