Hi All,

 

When i put my new lights in i'm looking to replace all my existing bulbs with LED bulbs.

 

Looking to get these stop/tail lights off eBay

Anyone know if you can get them in Amber LEDs for the indicator bulbs?

 

Cheers

 

Peter

groover or funki si may know

Cheers Si, just ordered those straight up :)

 

Any ideas if you can get the super white LED reverse lights in the same style?

Just double check the fitting on the amber ones.

i'm guessing those don't fit the front indicators? i can't remember what fitting they are...

red ones???

Nah, the front indicators are all different to the rears.

 

What fitting on the amber ones Si? Just ordered them from the link? I'm never sure what fitting is required for a Z

501's for the wings and the same as the rear for the fronts, just remember if you are replacing all the oem indicator bulbs with leds, you will need a load resistor on each led or a flasher relay designed for the leds (same principle), there is a post somewhere on this topic

If i'm just replacing the 2 rear ones will i be ok?

You should be ok, there should be enough load from the filament bulbs you have remaining. You can but try lol

What happens ermmmmmm if it doesn't work?? will the car catch fire? :scared:

No lol they will just flash quicker as though a bulb has blown.

Ah, is that all lol.

 

I can live with that :)

Being auto applications, I'd imagine they'll come with resistors already hard wired into them?

I dont think any of the HK ones are designed with the canbus error load resistors built in. The companies that do sell them want horrendous prices, which is a total rip off.

Having 36 leds in though should be enough to create the load required that a filament bulb load would produce. They will have a resistor in them for 12v use, if replacing 2 only you may be ok with the flash speed.

I can shed a bit of light here

please see the pics as i have these fitted in the side lights and the indicator at the front corner.

I also have the very bright amber bulb on the side and the combination makes them flash fast but this does not bother me and passed the mot. :tt2:

Would annoy the hell out of me. Looks goofy too when they are flashing at Mach 0.8.

Yeah, i'd prefer them to flash at a resonable speed.

 

For the price of the bulbs though, it's worth a bash i think :)

do i need these then graham to slow them down?

one per side?

Hi Andy, usually one per bulb, which is why its a better idea if you are ledding all your flashers to go for the load flasher relay, medallion man did a write up i believe in the faq section.

I have looked into this and I do want a flasher relay.

On ebay I have seen the cheapest is again from HK for as low as even three quid.

 

here they are

Are these suitable and if not can someone put a link to one that is.

Thank you,

Andy.

Are these the type of bulbs that are used for the rear indicator unit?

Want to get some as spares just in case the LED ones look crap.

 

Cheers
