It's no wonder the bulb is bright they use 68 smd led's for H4/H7 headlight LED bulbs... :shock:

How bright? 8) 8) 8) I love how the led strip reflects of your rear nudge bar too! :D I've ordered a pair of the bulbs which will be entering trials in my other car... =P~ That's if i find the time to fit them of course... I've spent most of today wet flatting the primer on a set of RX8 wheels... :-" :wink:
Yeah they reflect well off the nudge bar and also the new exhaust tip - very happy with the result.

Just need to look at the fog light now - its in the place of my drivers side reversing light.

A set of RX8s you say???? well some lucky lucky sole will be very happy with those I am sure 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) =P~ =P~ =P~ :D :D

I've fitted a pair of those SMD bulbs in my car for now... Early days yet, but they are very good indeed! Let's just hope the longevity of the bulbs is as good! [-o< [-o< [-o<

Hi Ste
Nice to see they work...mine haven't arrived yet...Not the vendor's fault, as I suspect they got stolen by customs here...they're notorious for that sort of thing...It's alright if posted in Europe...VERY efficient, but it was a first try purchasing outside with a cheapish item...NOW, I'll try again with an EU seller, as those things look good...I'll mail the seller and leave some good feedback, and just put it down as lesson learned :roll: :roll:
Cheers

Just ordered a pair, it will be nice not to have to reverse at night by braille!

Hi Ste
Not a problem..The guy posted in good faith...ordered the day before yours, I think,...same vendor...good service to UK i'd say...but I'll only order within the EU in future....Anyway, I've written to the guy...if it doesn't come soon, I'll just leave him good feedback!
Cheers

got mine today.....and slipped one in.....wow what a difference and as I use the offside Reverse as a Fog light it makes up for the loss of that side. I must say I have always got on okay with the single 382 bulb but I do favour the LED's.... shame the MOT doesn't although the reverse is not included and the Red LED for the Fog passes okay... :wink:
Thanks for the link btw...... oh well....IF...and I say IF I get time the Summer wheels are on this weekend, so the new set of Brake pads are going on while the wheels are off...not coz they are knackered but they are part worn and as the wheels are off.......why not...they are cheap enough

I'm still awaiting my 2nd order :roll: Though in fairness they email to warn me about delays, understandable considering what's happened over there lately...
