Hi guys

My drl bulbs are standard and look a bit yellow

Can u buy any led bulbs off eBay to give it a bit of Xenon effect?

Thanks

Yes but I've not found any yet that don't give a dash warning. I now have a set of warning cancellers from Trups.

I've just replaced mine with LED's. No error messages.











The last picture has a filter on so not the best representation. In reality they are very crisp and white. They fill the light housing nicely, where as some can be a bit dull.

Were they from eBay?

A link would be grate

Was worried about error messages

Not from eBay. Had a few eBay bulbs in the past fitted to different cars and they tend to flicker or not last. These bulbs have a 2 or 3 year warranty I think and had good reviews.

Cheers they look spot on

Worth looking at the PIAA Xtreme White bulbs, they are a much closer match to the Xenon headlights and as they're not LEDs don't cause bulb warning problems.

Im working on a new setup to replace/update the current one that I supply but not due for a couple of months.

To alleviate dash errors, like Mike mentions, you need Trups' cancellers.

Used with Trup's DRL canceller, I used these CREE LED DRL's. A bit more expensive, but I can testify they are bright:

Mine work, no errors.

Not with the CREE versions - you need the cancellers...

I installed these with no issues whatsoever, no dash warning lights nothing.

Similar kit to mine, you get the cancellers that clear the errors, did you have to trim any lugs as I do when the cancellers come in or they wont fit flush.

Nope not CREE ones. The ones I posted the link to from auto bulbs direct. £29.99 and 2 or 3 years warranty, seemed a good option as can be returned if there are any problems. They are massive though i.e. Only just fit through the hole. I assume they are that big as house whatever sort of cancelling device inside the bulb. To be honest though, as per Dave's post the PIAA bulbs seem to get good reviews.

No mods nothing. They fit the oem housing well.
