Hi There Guys:p
was just wondering if anybody cud post pics showing the differance between led sidelights and normal sidelight
thanks:D
 
i had led's fitted and took them back out when i realised they had stopped working . . . . the ones i bought brought on the warning light on my dash and even after trying a couple of different types none work. still trying to get my head round it but i think its something to do with the vehicle power feed not suiting led's. maybe someone has a way round this?
 
An L.E.D. draws less power than a standard bulb so the car thinks the bulb has blown, I have heard there is a way of putting a resister in to combat this problem, not sure how to do this though or what resister you would need.
 
I was looking for some and found these not cheap ;)


Introducing the new PIAA Tera sidelight LED made specifically for European cars which will bring up a dashboard warning light of a blown bulb if using other LED's.

Featuring calibrated electronics, to enable the Tera LED to become invisible to the on board computer system thus preventing the activation of the bulb blown warning indicator. Superb 6500K colour temperature emits a bright eye pleasing light.

dont even need a resistor to go around this, position lights is w5w so you get the led of your choice and save the standar bulb, buy another socket like the one you have in the headlamp and connect it in series and thats all you need to do
 
Hope this Help:

But i dont recommend the ultraleds resistors i have ceramic one muche better and dont heat up a lot....:lol:
 
Looking at the interior as well, it seems like you have been at the interior lights too. I must say that looks lush, esp against the white shell, well done. And do let us know part numbers.

ditto, come on MauroPT ! tell us :)
 
good morning

the interior Led light is easy to fit, no resistor needed...

i bought my leds in China,and I Sold them here at Portugal:

Try this site,


http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/


Then look under the 'Automotive' section.

I included the whole site as there is a whole eye-opening range of LEDs for all sorts of applications. Great for killing an hour or two!

*there is also a swap out relay for LED Indicator applications. £14.99*

so what chopping / modding needs to be done to fit the sidelights ?
 
The relay that these guys sell is only for the indicators.

LEDs have a lower resistance than filament bulbs. This makes them flash very quickly similar to when your bulb blows.

All this relay does is replace the relay in your fuse box so when you use LED indicator bulbs, they do not flash quickly.

For sidelights, you should be able to do a straight swap i would have thought. Though i am not entirely certain. I'm sure someone will be along in a minute.
