Well, the LED's I bought were shite.
They were slightly darker than the old bulbs, IMO, so I just thought it was pointless.
I've ordered a 16 panel SMD now. That should be bright! The old one was 8-LED.

Seems strange, thought LED's were known for being brighter and in my experience have been. Whats the difference with SMD's?
So did I.
I'm not sure, apart from they look different.
I think SMD stands for Surface mounted diode, and led is a light emitting diode.
I don't know why SMD's would be brighter, but I hope Phase is right!

just so you know, smds are a type of led that was developed to save space, leds and smds can have the same brightness depending on the brightness/ quality you buy / pay for.

When I was removing the covers I ended up breaking two of them, they still went back in ok though. When pushin the lense back on though, one of the light fittings decided to come free and take a trip inside my back bumper. Which then meant removing my bumper to get it out. Absoloute nightmare of a job at Saturday tea time when its 2degrees outside
I like the look LED number plate lights have and bought some festoon ones in the past...one conked out after a few weeks so I haven't bothered with them since. I do like them though...if only they were reliable!
I see some new BMW's have them in but I presume they're £50 a pair or something stupid like that.

How much were your Halfords one Lawrie? That's great to hear they've lasted. I'll get some if they're not megabucks. I got mine from China I think and they took a while to arrive!
