I still need to confirm the correct lamp number(s) for my particular vehicle, but,
- has anyone had any experience with these?
- Are they bright enough?
- Is there anything I need to pay attention to when choosing?

Oh right, thank you! I shall definitely pay attention to that detail if I get any.staffordian wrote:Regarding your final point, some (most?) newish cars object to LEDs because they draw comparatively little current. This causes the computer which monitors the lighting to believe the bulb isn't working. A term I've heard in relation to this is canbus ready or canbus compatible, which I understand means they have some sort of resistance or circuitry built in to fool the computer.

Thanks BJ, I hadn't really thought that there might be a question of legality. I'll have to delve further. My instinct says that if the dipped beam adheres to the " \__ " shape that they use for the MOT and it is actually bright enough then there's not much room for complaint, but of course my instinct had little to do with whether I'd get into trouble over it!bungeejumper wrote:I'm really not sure that replacing halogens with LED bulbs is legal in the UK. Ebay is full of warnings on the subject...
