Any recommended led bulbs? Front Sidelights and brakelights. Also do the brake ones need to be red or will the red lens filter white ones red? Danka schoen

I've tried using LED bulbs for sidelights but their low power consumption, the car's ECU thinks the bulb has blown (a light appears on the dash) and therefore cuts power to them.

I've got these:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Polarg...arParts_SM&hash=item4cec7c20a2#ht_2814wt_1297

They do the job and give the same kind of light as a LED and don't cause any problems with the ECU and are also much cheaper than getting 'special CANBUS LED bulbs'.

Allow 14-20 days for delivery.

Hope this helps
