[Rob's Lexx]

Mr morse, would like to be included please 1No pair 7440 for is300.

thanks AndyA

7440 are the reverse bulbs mate. think you want the 7443?? :duh:

[Rsarin]

me too mike :D

[Mr Morse]

Mike did you get my pm

Yep Gotcha!

I think this is up-to-date now.......communications have not been good in Lagos so apologies if I've missed anyone out

[MI_LEXX]

just the 1 pair for me pls :D

you got me down twice

[Moffet]

Don't forget my PM, Mike. Can you take me off the list. Cheers.

[Mr Morse]

OK folks, about to close this one......any more for any more?

[AndyA]

opp! got it wrong 1no pair 7443 please, thanks

[lexus_IS_200]

when do you want paying for these

[Mr Morse]

when do you want paying for these

After they've arrived and I've checked them please. Should be here by next week.

[Kazi]

Looking forward to these! :D

[lexus_IS_200]

ok no probs

[Mr Morse]

Right, the bulbs have arrived and will be posted as soon as folks pay. :D

However, a small issue has come to light after I fitted Rob's (I_Love_My_IS200) bulbs....they work fine, but due to the very low current, the dash rear lights warning light comes on. It also happened on my car, but I was scratching my head to find the cause. Now we know.

There is a very easy solution to cure this - a 6 ohm load resistor across the +ve and -ve wires to the rear brake light. Dead easy to do, 5 mins each side.

The warning light won't affect anything to do with the brakes lights, it's just annoying to have it there.

I wasn't aware that the bulbs needed load resitors so I'll do these for a tenner a pair, which is almost cost price.

[Rob's Lexx]

these bulbs look the business!!

just gotta get the load resistors and all will be well :D

[Mr Morse]

As soon as the load resitors arrive, I'll fit Rob's for him and post up a pictorial "how to" guide for those who are unsure how to do this. But really it's a very simple job, no soldering required.

[Mr Morse]

OK folks......

My supplier has confirmed that the 6 ohm load resistors will cure the warning light problem and I've ordered up enough for everyone. :D

If it's OK by everyone I'll wait until the resistors arrive before posting everything out together.

mike just gimme a shout when they arrive and we can sort out the how-to guide :D

Thats fine mate. How much are they? Tenner? Bank transfer again?

[Mr Morse]

Tenner buys a pair of the load resistors plus the Scotch locks. Transfer same as before please.

[Adie]

Done :winky:

[Parthiban]

Just one question - these worked fine when they went in your car didn't they? Do you know why? Was it luck, or is it possible newer cars might be different?

[Mr Morse]

No....I also have the warning light. I just couldn't figure out what was causing it. It was only when it happen to Rob's that I put 2 and 2 together :duh:

[Parthiban]

No....I also have the warning light. I just couldn't figure out what was causing it. It was only when it happen to Rob's that I put 2 and 2 together :duh:

No problem then. Just one other question - not sure if this is obvious, but when you use a load resistor, if one of these LED bulbs fail, will the "bulb failed" indicator still light up?

[Mr Morse]

No....I also have the warning light. I just couldn't figure out what was causing it. It was only when it happen to Rob's that I put 2 and 2 together :duh:

No problem then. Just one other question - not sure if this is obvious, but when you use a load resistor, if one of these LED bulbs fail, will the "bulb failed" indicator still light up?

The reason why the warning light is coming on is because it's "seeing" very little current.....and therefore assumes that the bulb has failed. What the LR does is to cause a higher current. In the very unlikely event of an LED bulb failure, the warning light will activate as normal.

[MI_LEXX]

could you pls pm me your details so i can pay you. how much altogether including the lr?

cheers, sam :D
