Perfect solution for LED eyelid
After searching around for a while, I finally found this LED to replace stock ones without showing any error messages and works perfectly.

Comparison with headlight and fog light
License plate light
Magic circuit and LED light bulb
LED is much whiter and brighter than W5W 194 bulbs, but as you know it will show error messages because of the low power consumption. But after adding the circuit, the LED will work with 5W power so there's no error message anymore.

2. Around 50 US$ a pair.
3. Fitment is esay, you just need to put the wire across the LED light bulb and then just like you fit W5W bulbs and it's done. I will try to take the pictures tomorrow.

You can easily get blue eyebrows by getting proper blue wedge bulbs, eg the Polargs M-80 @ about $6 a pair. You could even get green or red, for that matter. But 'true' blue lights are illegal in most countries, as this is reserved for emergency vehicles.

1. Got it from a LED manufactory in Taiwan where makes most of LEDs in the world.
2. Around 50 US$ a pair.
3. Fitment is esay, you just need to put the wire across the LED light bulb and then just like you fit W5W bulbs and it's done. I will try to take the pictures tomorrow.

I am going to install the other two parking lights tomorrow and take some photos of how to install it with circuit.
BTW where do you live in UK?
It brings all my memory back when I saw the house in your pic, I was a student in UK for seven years.

My only experience thus far in the UK is a 2-hour layover in Heathrow on the way to the continent. I didn't even get to step out of the airport for fear of missing the connecting flight. Truly, truly sad. Must visit one day--soon! My brother says the UK is his favorite European country of all he's visited...

I know. Sorry, all. but I never use Heathrow as a lay-over unless I can't be helped. I tend to travel via Frankfurt as my first choice (I'm star alliance so tend to fly Lufthansa a lot) or Paris. The best European airports to pass through is Schipol in Amsterdam and lesser known Zurich airport - an absolute breeze in both cases.
