PM 'Trups' on here - he can supply interior, exterior, DRL's the whole nine yards - he will email you full prices and post to you - I did a bank transfer.neilparf wrote:Yes - very small incandescent to mop up the voltage I suspect.

No, I've had some replacement units (ie the whole fitting not just the lamp) for a few years and have had no trouble with them. I tried the LED lamps before and they were no good.
The reason I ask is that I'm surprised Trups went for a lamp as a false load instead of a resister as the lamp has a much shorter life than a resister. I'm sure he considered this though hence why I'm asking why he went for a lamp.
PS when I was changing my ones in the dark I dropped the little screw onto my gravel drive... took me days to find it again. Not easy just get a replacement so those new ones Trups supplies are really useful. And if you don't use a short screwdriver the original ones will be knackered very quickly from trying to turn it from the wrong angle.
Just for you, I'll get snappy!CellDamage wrote:Get some night time pics once fitted?
I've no doubt they will work, just wondered why he chose that method. I have his DRL solution too, I gave up trying loads of different so called 'canbus error free' bulbs after about the 4th or 5th set.neilparf wrote:iSheep phone!MikeFish wrote:Sorry, bloody phone was playing up on the train and my message didn't get posted in the end.

I saw those whole replacement units, but I was committed to Trups version and much like his DRL with false load attached I think it'll work just fine. I know he changed the configuration slightly to improve so hence the delay.
Yes - those BAS***D screws are a mare. I have a gravel drive and very nearly dropped them. The ones coming out were wrecked...
