Hi,

I tried a couple of LED bulbs before I found ones that were bright enough.

Ebay item number 370018626406

2 X 6 LED Xenon white HID look 501 W5W sidelight bulbs-R

Don't buy the cheaper ones with 1 x LED in them, they are not much use as they are very dim.

Hope this helps.

Thanks chums. My originals came from one of those threads - NeilT got them for me when he got his. His have been fine but others of us have had durability problems. The difficulty was that the ones we got were an assortment and this makes regular replacement expensive, so I now want to find a source of affordable bulbs just for the front cab lists (the most important).

I'll take a look at your ebay suggestion apole and hear from you robdrinky if you turn anything up.

One of mine started flickering yesterday but that may have been water getting in the door contact when I was coolant bleeding I remain hopeful

Thanks Robd I'll check that out. Quite like the idea of a pack of 10 as per the link at top of thread. They seem the right size and power, as long as they last!!

I'm with you there mike... a ten pack of anything is worth consideration, even if you only get six months out of em...

I like the big led in the middle,and the siblings around the outer,that addresses the issue of the beam only going in one direction,a more spread out light would be ideal for the application of the interior cabin lights.

Some footwell lights wouldn't go amiss either.... Watch this space...

Just bought the ones at the top of this thread. Will post a report on what they are like when I get them fitted

Chuck the eight remainding leds in the direction of wigan mike, i'll chuck a pie in the direction of those queuing planes in return.

Got a lift in my tyre fitter mate's boy racer jetta, the footwell lights do look good, must have a look see what he's used Quite like the idea of the colour changing leds there

You do it first kirsty...i'll copy it!
