Led Sidelights

[gib]

Got myself a pair of those white quad LED sidelights and think they're great!!

All for the princely sum of about £6 - amazing value

Trying to find amber ones for the front indicators.

Is there such a thing??

[MrADeveci]

I'll spare you with the "useless without images" logo ...........

:D

Care to share with others where you got them from ?

[gib]

Gimme a second, I'll get back to you.

Useless with computers etc.

[gib]

Somewhere on eBay - search on 'quad sidelight' and you'll see them for £4.50 plus PnP

Arrived within 48hrs.

Don't forget you'll need some extra resistance or new blinker relay to stop them from hyper flashing. Also, being LEDs, they'll be very directional. Not sure how this will affect it in the indicator application, but there's an example of my park lights in this thread.

[Mr Morse]

There is no polarity for the load resistors - they connect between the live and ground either way round. :D

I think he is refering to the viewing angle Mr M ;)

Correct. :)

And just in case anyone reading this is confused let's summarise...

- LED's produce a very directional light beam (as demonstrated in linked pics)

- As LEDs are diodes (Light Emiting Diodes) they have polarity and must be inserted the right way around for them to work, and finally

- resistors are have no polarity.

I continue to go LED mod. mad having done the front sidelights, front indicators and interior dome light

Anyone done that annoying ignition barrel light with a blue LED yet?

Mr Morse, surely you've cracked this one.

totally agree ... LEDs are the best bang for the buck in terms of head turning!

did u change the rear license plate bulbs into LEDs yet? I wanna change thos, but Im not sure how to get at them.....any ideas? I'm guess have to go via inside the trunk, rite?

[Mr Morse]

Barrel light - no haven't done that one, I have no idea how to do get at it

Rear licence plate lights - you have to open the boot lid and remove the trim and get at it from the back....fnarrr fnarrr

Mr Morse .. the rear plate lights .... are they also the wedge type 7440 bulbs?

No - they are the smaller 501 type, same as the front sidelights

Just got mine thru

dont knw which pair to use tho

bought the 6 LED ice white ones that have 5 white and one blue LED, giving a hid type glow

And ive also got the 6 LED zenon 30% brighter

Will take photos tonight and let u decide which look best

Bott LEDs - never thought of that one....

I take it Ultraleds will do them?

Wonder if he has a suitable bulb for the igntiion barrel :duh:

What do you mean Murray - Bott LED's?

The ignition barrel probably uses one the 268 type dash bulbs, Robert at Ultraleds could tell you, or maybe one of the members?

Anyway, here's a link for the barrel:
