'Xenon white' or LED bulbs for side lights?

The HID headlights on my XKR are great, but they make the 'ordinary' sidelight bulbs appear yellow
I ordered a pair of these multiple LED bulbs a while back off Bay, but they were too big to fit physically in the hole at the back of the headlight. Pity, because I fitted them to my Suzuki 4WD and they look great.
Has anyone found a nice bright 'xenon white' T10 bulb that fits the XK? I am really looking for a multiple LED version (i.e. with LEDs down the side), because the cheaper versions with LEDs only at the front just don't throw out enough light.

I have done them all on customer XKs, the company I use is actually a USA based company called Super Bright LEDs (Click HERE). Can not fault the quality, I am pretty sure they are all still made in China but of a much higher standard than those you find on ebay.
The reversing lights are pheonominal, when you select the gear it is like you have head lights at the rear very useful for night time reversing

"You only get bulb failure messages regarding the rear lights, nothing for the front!"
This is correct the LED's have virtually no resistance and the vehicle reads it as an error...
You need to put a resistor in for each bulb,,, they are small but generate quite a bit of heat... You can make a nice panel to mount them on in the trunk by the spare tyre... The blinkers or directionals need a special flasher module...
All is possible but if you just Re-Do your driving lights,,, Headlight,,, Fog Lights,,, and Reverse Lights you should have no error codes or problems,,, no resistors needed in this option...
superbrightleds.com is the best place to get the bulbs from what I HEAR,,, have not done this upgrade yet... thou I plan to...
And there is a thread that did a comparision of all the bulbs out there the brightness,,, effectiveness,,, Fit, ETC.
