New page

I've created this page for people pondering whether to upgrade their sidelights to LED or not, perhaps after having previous performed a HID upgrade.

I won't go into the explanation of how to do it because that is documented in the manual and for the S2 models is very dependent on whether you have;
1. An early S2 with H1/H7 headlamp cluster (inside wheel arch liner AND front lens removal required) or
2. A later S2 (inside wheel arch liner only removal)

The LED bulb I chose works for either type as the light emits from the tip of the bulb which is perfect for the horizontal orientation of the S2.

''I cannot quite recall S1 fitment but if your sidelight relies on reflection of a chrome dish around it to project light forward then these are probably not right for you.''
So this is the product I chose.
