Reverse Bulb

[AdamC11]

Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade the above on my Leon MK3.

Can people please post links of the best ones to use / fit.

Cheers

It works and is brighter

+1 for that bulb - work's superb.

+1 for that bulb from me also. Much brighter than the original candle!

What leon have you got? Facelift? The facelift has a different reverse bulb than the pre facelift because of the resigned tail lights that's all.

defo for upgrading the reversing lamp - too much like a candle - did my 1.2TSI last year, can't remember which ebay seller it was but no probs and it worked fine, but had to buy 2 leds bulbs. Both are spare now I've a facelift Cupra 300, which has led bulbs except the reversing which is some sort of stupid wedge thing! :-(

There's another thread on here somewhere that confirms the bulb type, can't remember what it is off the top of my head but it's definitely on my to do list

Having said all that I just noticed (with the nights drawing in) that the reverse light no longer works!

Bugger.

Old normal bulb also doesn't work and all the wires look fine.
No dash warning lights and Park Pilot comes on when put in reverse.

Need to check the fuse but buggered if I know which one relates to the reverse light.

Hi all. Now that it's getting super dark again and I seem to be going to work and coming home in the dark can anyone recommend a nice upgrade reverse bulb for my Leon. And if the installation is any different to any normal bulb (vcvds changes or extra wiring) a link would be appreciated

Any ideas for a facelift Cupra? - LED bulbs all round except reverse which is just as poor as my original mk 3 leon. And annoyingly a different size so I can't even reuse the led bulb I bought over a year ago

I've just had a pair of osram replacement led bulbs for my facelift fr arrive. Here's the eBay item number 352022351313. Bought these on the recommendation of another member on here from another thread a while back. Not fitted yet as only arrived today though.

Hi can you do a before and after picture of your install to show how much of a brightness change I can expect

Here are before and after pics. Brightness isn't overly noticeable from inside the car but I was on a lit road. Does look visually brighter from outside but I changed it just so that it was led like the rest.

One note to add is that, like my pre facelift, it does seem to interfere with the dab signal when you select reverse??? Was hoping this wouldn't be the case but apparently it is.

Is the DAB signal ok when in forward gears?

Also - any errors?

 

[R4CK5]

Quick update. Signal is only affected when initially selecting reverse but as I discovered when I got to work this Morning, it may also be limited to outside my house lol. No problems at work but don't get much opportunity to try out many other circumstances.

Also, no faults at all flag up.
