Mk5 Ibiza Bulb List

[markjw2]

Na there's still a deffinate difference between the two, but due to the leds being quite dim you can't notice when the osrams are on. I'll try to get a clearer picture of both the LEDs and the osrams on later.

Here's q slightly better pic so you can see the difference between the LEDs and the osrams

I used a set of canbus ones and they were spot on, no warning lights at all

Ahhh, so does that mean they are canbus or you just used them to be safe?

I want to use the Philips 6000k LED's, had them in my TT and they were great, but they aren't canbus.

What did make did you end up using?

I just used them to be safe, I didn't try non-canbus ones so couldn't tell you if any warning lights would appear, sorry!

Well I ordered some non-canbus ones, the Philips 6000k. Finger crossed. Worse case situation I'll have to buy the canbus harness.

On another note, can anyone confirm the Facelift Foglight bulbs, H11 or H8 - I keep reading conflicting information.

Also, Sidelights, are these Canbus too?

Well, they just turned up. They fit , work and no warning messages.

Happy days indeed, i'll get some photo's up tonight!

I just need to figure out sidelights, dipped and fog lights now. I hate the yellow colour of the bulbs.

 

[joenewton_1709]

Yeh I was the same! If you put your reg number on autobulbsdirect.com and it should tell you what types of bulbs you need. I know you were wondering about what the fogs were! I would say what I have fitted but mines a pre facelift!

It doesn't recognise my Reg, I think it's too new!

Bit of an update.

The facelift non-xenon sidelights are NOT canbus. Repeat, they are NOT canbus.

I used Philips 6000k T10's which didn't through up an error. Result.

 

[JoshRedCupra]

Can anyone give me links for Sidelights and dipped beam bulbs please? I'd like pure white colour but can't find any that don't throw warning lights!

 

[IbizaNI]

As above, anyone know any LED's which don't throw up a bulb warning on pre-facelift models?
Ordered these (http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/exteri...old-festoon-t10-17-led?sort=p.price&order=ASC) for the inner bulbs thinking that more expensive canbus bulbs would work better than cheap canbus LED's but I'm still getting errors, which while I don't mind the warning light on the dash, would it fail an MOT if the warning light is on?

 

[Kibby]

Any warning light can cause a fail but you could chance it, or keep your old bulbs and switch them over for your mot just a thought.

Sorry for the late reply, cheers I suppose I could do that, only happens once a year anyway!

--------------------

I know it doesn't say in the original list but I just wanted to confirm that the registration plate light doesn't need to be an LED with a canbus system? Mine's an 09 pre-facelift with a single W5W 501 for reference.
