Reversing bulb upgrade?

[GrahamFR]

only sorry i didnt annouce it sooner mate

Does anyone know if these will fit a Mk5 Ibiza?

Ibiza's have crap reversing light too, in fact I'd rather have 2 reverse lights than the pointless cornering function on the foglights

done and fitted excellent... like the flicker when engine starts ...

considering we haev probably just increased this guys sales by 200% im sure he will let you know if you ask him, think it just depends on the actual fitting of the bulb and i dont see SEAT changing them for any reason.

I only notice when im setting off from home, so i dont know if it flickers everytime, anyone here confirm this?

It's part of the bulb test routine. My old LED sidelights did this - it only happens due to the low power requirements due to traditional bulbs. Not really noticeable.

 

[GrahamFR]

maybe not noticable on the side lights but its pretty bright this bulb, and still pretty cool

 

[rllmuk]

I guess it's proportional to the brightness of the light. Makes sense.

+1. Wasn't too tricky to change once I'd figured out it just needed a bit of brute force to unclip the cover inside the boot door...

Got mine today, took 2 minutes to fit. Disappointed that bulb was sent in just a jiffy bag only. But works fine, and has made a big difference. Thanks to the OP, for the thread.

glad to see ive finally given some good advice on here for once. I imagine they will fit an altea, the fittings should be the same

Will try one,cheers

I see that CarModShop are now selling a RED version of the Cree Q5 bulb, so you can do the rear foglight too!

glad i seen this thread! going to order my bulb tonight

I'll have my little say now..... took about 10 secs to fit and is a million times better than before. I was a little miffed when it arrived in a jiffy bag and id say a little pricey for a bulb, but you get what you pay for. Over all very happy with my new reverse light

I've just ordered mine

Does anyone get the bulb error warning due it being and LED??

Nope. No warnings at all (touch wood!) with my facelift Ecomotive. The light pattern is more focused / narrower beam and the colour is a little bit different from a normal bulb, but it's certainly a bit brighter.

 

[gregdaisley]

Sweet, mine is FL too so fingers crossed! Cheers matey!!

 

[kazand]

Greg ours has been on for a while now still no error light
