LED sidelights that WORK

[SteveTDCi]

I ordered the ebay ones last night, along with some Osram night breakers and my 3rd set of valve caps

Have you got a link for the nightbreakers?

They seem to be the bulb of choice for the main / dipped beam

Thanks, Nige

I wish, evey set is different, I think most of mine are now on kids bikes on the estateso i've gone for some black ones that hopefully won't stand out

The night breakers i got from ebay, for the high beam you need H1, not sure what the dipped is as I have xenons, they were £12 delivered, ordered them sunday night and they are now in the car

to be honest nath, i think youd be struggling to give them away

Scott do you find the bulb failure warning comes up if you leave your lights on auto? Mine seem to throw a bit of a wobbly if left on auto but if off they start up fine with no warning.

Yes I leave it on auto.

me too occasionally. started to turn lights off before turning engine on.

got mine and got them fitted, the driverside lights and then goes off but the passenger side works ... even though it looks odd with only one lit !

Following SteveTDCI's advice on what bulbs i needed i had a quick look online for prices etc.

Found this diagram and break down useful so thought i would share it

I got mine delivered yesterday and like everyone else i had problems getting them to work but instead of pushing them right into the holder just push the led in about 3/4 in and they should work.

I agree that its not very good you should have to fiddle around with them so much but they do work.

I spent over half and hour in the dark last night trying to fit them and at one point even dropped one into the void below but managed to recover it after taking half the bumper off lol.

They are working now and look the nuts i have to say.

Another trick is to plug the bulb in turn the ignition off and on and it seems to reset the bulb warning lamp.

Hope this helps

Anyone else notice that with these LED's that you get 4 flashes when you switch on the ignition?

Spotted it today when the garage light was off, I switched on the ignition and I got 4 quick flashes of the LED sidelights No errors though so thats OK.

 

[chrisboyle999]

yes nath, everyones will do it (wether theyve noticed or not is a different matter). its the 'lamps out' check. you dont see it with the filament lamps as the pulse isnt long enough for the filament to heat up.

 

[Nath.]

Actually, after I posted this I did think that it maybe the check making it do it

 

[ross27]

Yeah mine do it too, and i dont have the Can-Bus ones. Any LED's should do this.
