Footers, I hope you don't have to return any of your ultraled LEDs - their aftersales service is truly crap. I am pissed off because they won't honour the warranty on some LEDs I bought recently - not only that but they are fcuking rude, too.

@everyone else: if you can find those bulbs elsewhere then you'll be saving yourself a headache if you ever have to return any. :thumbs:

Never saw your reply Shopp. Happy to report that all even with 3 cars that are fully decked out with LED lighting, no failures at all yet.

Bringing this back from the dead, holy crap my soldering game has improved since I made these monstrosities up, but you don't see any of that anyway. Just for the hell of it, almost 5 years on, all modded units still working perfectly, zero failures in either this car or the 4, did the same mods to her too.

Since this thread is years old and likely out of date, has anyone tried the eBay ones ?

Apparently plug and play ? No soldering, butchering etc required...

Fpr less than 25 fine English pounds i'm considering taking a gamble on them.
