A front sidelight bulb has gone on my MY00 and I am thinking of going for LEDs. I assume these will be 501s, any opinions on the most satisfactory make/suppliers?

 

When I looked into getting some, I just trawled through the following threads as there is alot of info on what to avoid, potential mods for some of the LEDs and where to buy them from.

I think Ajs_s2k has had more luck than most with these to date, give him a shout to see which ones he's got as ALOT of them are prone to failure.

 

Try these 9 LED Cluster Bulb

I have them on my front sidelights and rear number plate bulb (although these area a little big for the rears)

I had the front LED for over 2 years and they are still going strong!

Juts bear in mind the price is for 1 but at

 

Yeah Jp_warden the ebay seller - i think he changed the heatsink when i bought them.

Still going strong after 6month, i left them on the other day accidently for 7 hours they were fine.

 

Can't view the pics unless you're a member...

 

Oh damn! well anyone interested just PM me your email address and I'll get some hi-res photos over to you, needless to say they look stunning, are made in Germany, and are of the highest quality.

 

PM sent. Are they a bit of a bitch to fit? I can't even see the back of the headlights so I'm guessing its a wheel arch liner removal job?

 

email on the way mate.

They are okay to fit, it's in the handbook, takes around 5 mins each side. You don't need to remove all of arch lining, just one clip, wheels on full lock then reach in and swap.
