Me, too!

Oh no, listing has ended! :-(

Does anyone know which type of bulb we need for the reversing light? There are a few similar listings, but with different numbers: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=SMD+ ... m270.l1313

I have run some LEDs along the underside also for the reversing but they are not quite in the centre - so weekend will be taking them off and putting on again.

Also running a strip of red LEDs alongside the white strip for a brake light

I will then be running some blue LEDs around the inside of the sliding door - any idea how to wire this up please - want it to come on when door opens (same as courtesy light)

Lower the strip light & tap from that loom.
Tap into the earth switch for the strip light from the negative side of the LED's & take the constant live from the same point..
Run the wires fer the LED down behind the head lining & trim.

I may invest in those bulbs myself! :wink:

Sorry, I am being particularly thick here: I can't figure out which of the many LED bulbs would fit for my reversing light. #-o

Any explanation or direct link very much appreciated!

The bulb in the listing is a direct replacement

Hi
T9sus4
I ordered from here, after reading the thread:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 158wt_1139
That'll confuse the hell out of Customs here...something from outside their normal sphere of activity...how much will they attempt to charge in duty, I wonder!!!...probably about 30.00 quid...in which case :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: they know what to do!
Cheers
Helen
PS...I'll let you know if they are O.K.
