LED's

[wigz45]

where are your indicator bulbs in the boc? in the normal sport they are where the DRL's would be!

Mardon i would just like to say that not only do the LED's look good.
Thats some great photography!

Really liking the look.

 

[mardon]

Cheers mate. There's more pics in the readers ride section. Think its on the second page now.

 

[mardon]

Just an update.. the LED's have started flickering and some of them have gone out..

Back to the drawing board. Will try some more expensive ones from else where..

anyone got any idea at how to remove the w5w side lights from a bocaengra without taking the whole light out, i had a play yesterday but i cant get my hands in the tiny hole in the back of the light

Hi Dan , I,m awaiting with interest as to the reply you get for taking out the side light bulbs on your Boca as I am thinking of replacing mine with Led,s , once I know what works and doesn,t bring up any warning lamps on the dash !!!.what are you thinking of doing to your side lights.

Hi Mardon, I,ve been looking at the Led,s you are thinking of ordering and they seem to be a good choice, please let us know how you get on with them as I,m contemplating fitting these Led,s to my Boca as well.

I'll get them ordered this week.

Just paid my deposit for the coilovers and my personal plate details have come through as well. Will get more pics up + vid's end of the month.

 

[Bocawata]

Hi Mardon, Thanks for info,have you fitted Led side lights to your Boca ,if yes which one,s did you purchase and are they ok so far ,as I read you,ve had problem with the DRL leds you fitted,they didn,t last long!!!.Which format with regards number plate are you going for !!! I like the one you showed us last week was it!!.

bocawata, i just want some nice white leds, instead of the standard bulb. i think it will look mean as hell, i have spoken to another guy from on here, he said he has an fr, same lights and he just took the cap off the back of the light and with a little difficulty managed to pukll it out with his fingers, i tried yesterday but i think my hands are a little large.

Not sorted the side lights yet. They are so small and pointless on the xenon model I either have the DLS's on or the full Xenons.

When the new LED's come I'll have a look at taking the side lights out.

Yup bought the reg I posted about last week. Decided on gloss black, raised gel letters (legal font) with the black Euro logo. Will get pics up at the end of the month when the coilovers are fitted.

Also having a rolling road done at the same time so I can see what these TSI’s are putting out standard.

 

[mardon]

Just nipped to HID'S Direct in Manchester. I didn't put the LED's in a bought off them as the 3 single LED's didn't look as good as the cheap ebay jobbies. I looked at resistors but I can't see how they will work. As the socket for the LED is a screw in type the wires for the resistor will get in the way. Not sure how i'm going to work it.

I'll probably wait for the ones listed above to come back in stock and give them a whirle. Looks like there is no solution as yet.

Ibiza SC LED Sidelights

I replaced my standard sidelight bulbs with 1.5 watt 360 LED sidelight bulbs check out the difference below.

Standard bulbs

LED bulbs

The standard bulbs look way more yellow than in the pictures. Unfortunately the new bulbs turn on the bulb out light in the dash but I can live with that.

 

[mardon]

Let me know how you get on and if they start to flicker and die.

 

[dan_wilson87]

dabigdogg, how the hell did u do tht, i have tried and tried but couldnt get ma hands in the position to pull the w5w out

 

[DaBigDogg]

hey dan, er i just pulled on the cables they aren't in tight and they just popped out. they also seem to have a little tab on them which helps to put them back in again. granted there is limited space behind the lights. not looking forward to replacing my dipped beams though. on the drivers side there is some kind of reservoir thing about an inch behind the lights!!

 

[collegeboy09]

I just ordered these as a sidelight replacment, after some checking they shouldn't bring the bulb warning light on either (i hope), will post some pics when i get them in the car
