Led Lights

[myglaren]

Someone will know but no I.
I have replaced my reversing lights with LEDs and they are much, much better but still rubbish due to the positioning, so use my rear foglights in conjunction with them.
Bought from eBay and came with a pair of massive alloy load resistors, never used and never needed.
It may be worthwhile to buy some with accompanying load resistors in case they are needed.

I don't know where I might have found room for them had they been needed.


I did see this about LED headlights that could be of interest.

I would recommend against rear end LED bulbs if you have halogens fitted as they can be overly-bright and cause problems for following drivers (there can be a problem distinguishing braking lights when the tail lamps are too bright) and I think they're not legal. I only ever replaced my reversing lights as they were woefully dim and were only used occasionally.

LED Headlight bulbs are still illegal in most cases if retrofitting. But I know Philips Ultinon have a set for Korean roads that are approved over there as legal and again for some vehicles in Germany. OSRAM are doing the same, but each vehicle has to be separately approved before hand and you need to keep the certification with you in the car. Currently, none are approved in the UK as yet, but hopefully it won't be too long.
