I have been upgrading all my interior bulbs and numberplate ones to LED's. I am struggling to find some LED bulbs that match the colour of 4300k HIDS. I have already gone through 3 different ones in 2 weeks! They are either too blue or too yellow. I just want one that is in between the others I have already tried.
I have had some luck with T5's though. I initially bought some from the ebay seller warden_jp2000 (excellent seller) but thought they were dim. Then I had another look on ebay and found these T5's. These are much brighter!
marshyc: I made the same mistake. Still got one T5 Neo from warden_jp and it's like a dim blue.
Thing is, after the UltraLEDs in the front, and bearing in mind that the bulb fits at 90 degs in the lamp holder, I've decided to do something a little different - solder in a direct LED assembly. I've only just ordered the parts (in the last 5 minutes) so I'll let you know how it goes.
I'm also having the same issue with the LED wedge bulbs for side lights; they're slightly too blue against the Xenonmax H7s I have. They're these from UltraLEDs. Which ones did you try that were a little too yellow? They might work quite well with the Xenonmax bulbs.
This post includes pics of a modified G4 LED array made to fit in the rear passenger lamp. Some cutting, soldering and gluing is necessary to get this to fit, but I think it's worth it.
fitted the front interior light leds today, the 501's are great but the festoon one is shite, glows like a green colour when you look through the cover,
number plate lights gone in too, only to find the muppet who sprayed my rear bumper sprayed over the light lenses so cant see the brightness
so ordered 2 more from seat, came to £12 so not too disappointed.
for anyone upgrading the bulbs dont buy this, get a different one but same size.
You do have to trim them a little bit but it's only like 1-2mm on the little lugs that hold it onto circuit when you twist them in. It's noting to worry about and worth the effort.
They are the 5 LED tower ones from warden-jp. The warm White ones although I have just got the xenon ones for interior and they seem pretty White. Although most of em do until you put them next to the HID's!
Mr Moderator..... you might want to ammend the first post for the 'Rear Courtesy Lights/Roof Lining lights' to say T5 Neo Wedge.... this will solve a lot of problems.
