Anyone Using LEDs?

[tom023]

Here is a small type up of fitting the new lensed SMD LED bulbs to the front indicator. I will only show you the front near side and compare to the standard bulb on the off side

So first off lift the bonnet latch in the drivers foot well, the latch under the catch under bonnet, lift the bonnet and hold in place with the bonnet rod.

- The near side can be accessed from the top of the vehicle.
- Reach in from between the radiator and the grill to the front indicator bulb housing.
- Twist lock to losen and pull out
- Remove old bulb
- Replace with new LED

old

lensed SMD LED bulb

replacement

new look

And to compare with the old standard incandescent bulbs

That is it!

To do the same on the off side you will have to access from the underneath. Remove any splash guards on the underside to reveal the rear of the fog light and indicator bulb unit and repeat the procedure.
Once done then replace all panels removed.

There are more pictures to show you.

The reverse lights


Rear indicator

To conclude these are all day light photos so yes it gets even better.
The new bulbs benefit as they are instantaneous, they flash rather than glow almost lazily (indicators).
The reverse lights are whiter and maybe brighter than my beams up front.

If anyone wishes to see night pics I'll get some done upon request.

If you like this and fancy some of your own there is a link to the place where I got mine....worth the wait btw!

Just don't buy red ones or silly colours remember there are laws to abide to and I'd hate for people to get into trouble through these means.

Looking good. Post some night-time pics up if you can.
I've just seen that you mentioned me previously, if I had seen it I would have chimed in earlier sorry about that.
I fancy doing what you have done with your rear clusters and indicators.

Did you solder resistors for indicators for them to flash normally instead of seizure like?

And also - did you change the rear/stop lights? If so did you trick the loom to think that the bulbs are not blown ( as it would normally do when replaced by LED)?

@tom023 cheers for the props it's what it's all about. Yeah definitely going to be posting night shots when I get a chance.

@rrobis no need for that lark! Popped straight in no problems

I haven't touched the front apart from the 501 parking/side/daytime lights
