Re: Spot the modification?
Mmmmm, could it be that the running light has an L.E.D. replacement bulb of the "warm" variety?
If so.....very good!

Got it in one my friend! Although I suppose I did give it away by telling you about it first lol.Les Barbeux wrote:Mmmmm, could it be that the running light has an L.E.D. replacement bulb of the "warm" variety?

Pop ups work perfectly. Bulbs switch to high and low setting perfectly.
Just washed the car so more pictures to follow.
Bye bye early demise of DRL lens! With the expense and rarity of these clusters can anybody really afford to run the standard plastic scorching bulbs? I know they changed the bulb wattage on the very late ones but then that defeats the whole point of DLR's as they will only be half as bright. These bulbs have 27 SMD's on each bulb so are nice and bright and blend in perfectly with the stock bulbs so I defy even the MOT man to notice!
I am able to supply these if anybody is interested.

Nice. I'd be interested in a pair...how much are you asking?

Re: Spot the modification?
These are £14.99 delivered for the set. That's a cheap price considering they have 27 three chip SMD LED's on each bulb and are not cheap old school tat.Rachel wrote:Nice. I'd be interested in a pair...how much are you asking?
As you can see in the video they function very well!
I have these in ICE WHITE too for cars with upgraded lighting.
Re: Spot the modification?
Are they fitted like regular bulbs?

Re: Spot the modification?
I had LED's in my running lights but was the cool white ones and my last MOT they removed them due to being the wrong colour!!! And I've had to replace the standard bulbs twice since then. Makes me want to put my LEDs back in..... as the set I used were in my other car for 2 years and still going strong.
Best we stick to the warm white ones....
