Sidelight bulbs, LED which ones work

Post by randomshenans » Thu Nov 08, 2012 1:24 pm

So, which ones actually work? One of mine has gone and it's a standard bulb jobby and I want to replace them for LEDs to better match the xenons.

Which ones work and will not get errors?


Thanks!

The thread you need. Please don't make the same mistake other have though - B6 and B7 headlights are different....

For the record the original pair I put in two years ago are still going strong, and they match the xenons perfectly

you dont have to go for LEDs.. a lot of these either need resistors or throw an error-code

i got white sidelights and DRL PIAA bulbs from Glen @ Revolution Motorstore.. think i paid £23 for the DRLs and £15 for the sides

all good so far - and great delivery time/service

Mine sometimes error. When I either boot the <beep> out of it, corner a little hard or lamp on the brakes. Connections all seem tight though. I just live with it. They still work 99% of the time.
