I've got the horrible led 's. 
and want to get some white LED bulbs.....surely they are available and would therefore (as far as I'm concerned) be the best option. |

Sidelights are normally 5W. Fitting 10W bulbs used to be illegal but I suspect is now ok as a result of Euro-harmonisation.

As for LED replacements for front side lights, can anyone point to a site that sells some proper, good, powerful, bright ones that work (for longer than a fortnight) and fit?

I used 21w bulbs in the sidelights of my old Turbo Diesel years ago no probs.I think you can fit clear indicator lenses to the sidelights this allows the fitting of 21w bulbs on Td5 and Puma. 2005 Td5 90 XS
