SootySport Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 The ones with 24 LEDs should give a better spread of light,as they have 6 LEDs pointing out sideways to light up reflector where as the ones in your link only have leds facing straight backwards Do you have a link to the ones you mention? I can't find any except the crappy ones I tried. Quote
CosKev Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/111177552108?nav=SEARCH These are the ones I had seen, not tried them though! I'm happy atm with the light output from standard bulbs in my rear lights Do you have a link to the ones you mention? I can't find any except the crappy ones I tried. Quote
Terryathome Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I'm surprised no one's mentioned the one's that you can get when you replace the bulbs in your normal tin top where the system is measuring if a bulb has got out. The led bulbs have a built in resister to compensate for the low power the bulb uses. Surley they must work in a westy with no mods done to it, opps jusr remembered have some in already. Got some in my crv and they work fine as well. Quote

I'm happy atm with the light output from standard bulbs in my rear lights Not a lot different to the ones I tried, they were heavy and as I said the they fell apart with the vibration, the glass came out of the metal end cap.

Ref the design,Pretty sure all led replacement bulbs are built like that. Quote

Ref the design,Pretty sure all led replacement bulbs are built like that. The side facing led's may help a bit. Only the stop and tails are that design, front sidelights and other bulbs are very light, like these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10x-ERROR-FREE-CANBUS-T10-5050-5-SMD-LED-XENON-HID-WHITE-W5W-501-SIDE-LIGHT-BULB-/301396280616?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item462c9e4528 and suffer from another problem, the yellow diodes are shaken loose and fall out into the headlamp bowl. I have this type at the moment http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-501-CAPLESS-12V-INTERIOR-SIDE-LIGHT-LED-BULB-white-/131175429447?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e8aaa3547 and so far they are still working after 6 months. I've given up on the rear light's but will try the complete led light units, the ones that have non replaceable bulbs, in the future. Quote
Paul T Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Just searching through old posts, could any of guys recommend LED suppliers for the VDO clock bulbs and dash warning lights please? cheers Quote
SootySport Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Yes, something like this https://www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs-blades-batteries/car-bulbs/501-blue-led-car-bulb-halfords-essentials-twin-pack?istCompanyId=b8708c57-7a02-4cf6-b2c0-dc36b54a327e&istItemId=-awmapqatr&istBid=t&_$ja=tsid:94971|cid:1341111785|agid:57838006070|tid:pla-327722804350|crid:261734680760|nw:g|rnd:10601800787063305063|dvc:m|adp:1o9|mt:|loc:9045016&gclid=CjwKCAiAyrXiBRAjEiwATI95mdEZWFhmOe8kfr_7ds3WU0ChKBUFZaL6451t329SF45Y8KLb6s3WXhoCOvAQAvD_BwE there are plenty like this on eBay as well and in different colours if you want. I fitted blue ones. Doesn’t matter if they are canbus friendly or not but you do need to buy the short ones as in my link above. 1 Quote
