LED sidelights that WORK

[rllmuk]

Haha, yeh mine are the same. When i turn on the ignition, they flash about 4 times each, very dim though, not full brightness.

I guess this is the check for the bulb out warning?

Indeed. The PIAA ones also do this, so not a fault.

Cheers mate. Thats good to know. Heres another one though since fitting them i have had a warning for bulb failures on both front indicators at seperate times and sure enough when i tried the indicators the bulbs werent lighting but then started to work on both occasions. The sidelights are nowhere near the indicators though for any of the indicators wiring to of been disturbed. I will see how they go.

Gona give them a try, after the XE nightmare I said never again, but for £17.60, I cant loose really, can I

If your wondering how come I got them discounted by12%, Autobulbs are on QUIDCO & 12% is the cashback

The ones on ebay also have 4 leds per unit as opposed to 2 leds on the Autobukbs units. Wonder if they are brighter with 4 leds?

Cheers

one way to find out mate lol. They are a very good price. Im sure they would be brighter too and the contact points look slightly better to me also. However im not too sure about the components at the other side of the leds. Imo the ones i already have look a bit strange.

These lights are doing my head in. Foofing about with how far they go in, then when I do get it right and they work, and put the bulb holder back in the light with it still on, after turning them off and back on again they stop working.

Gonna get my mate to put a blob of solder on the contact for me, hopefully that will help.

finally got em both to work, what a hassle that was lol.

I've also seen these http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/501194t10-anti-bulb-warning-xenon-white-wide-angle-p-2085.html?osCsid=5adc6530932aa8a1d84da6d8504c1c43

Only £4.60 each if you buy 2

These might be worth a look as well

As a heads up to those who have DRL's, one of the pair of upgraded PIAA H367 bulbs I purchased just 2 months ago has packed up.

Filament of the bulb looks 100%, but for some reason it's just not working. Tried it in other light connectors and nothing.

Considering they are £32 a pair delivered (from PRI Racing / Demon Tweeks etc....) wasn't particularly impressed by this. Just ordered another set under duress, but now running one PIAA and one OEM

Even the 'premium' stuff seems problematic

Got mine this morning..orderd from ebay 13.99 so bit cheaper than the others and worked straight away no problems and look mint! will get some pics up when it gets dark, also did interior with leds and that looks miles better than standard crappy yellow lights

dont think they will work too well.theres only one light which points forward so the reflector will be rendered useless.

id like to see your interior light led's if you wouldnt mind taking a couple of pics.

Fitted mine this morning, as already said by another member, they need a little extra solder on them to sort the contact out, I added about 0.5mm to them

A few pic's, my dipped bulbs are osram night breakers.

Having owned the PIAA no errors in the past, I'd say these quite similar, sham ethey dont have a forward facing led though, just so you get a real head on view, not just the reflector reflection.

 

[splatrat]

what bulbs do i put in the number plate lights?

and where would i get them, im liking my new led sidelights and would like number plate one's to match

thanks

 

[simpa]

puttin my order in now lol

 

[badboyardie]

Ordered mine

 

[Throbbs]

Finally put the LED's in last night, they needed a bit of solder on the contacts to make them work. They look great, big improvement over the standard bulbs. Just need some HID's now.
