Styling Alternative to LED sidelights

can you send a link of the MTEC ones you brough off of HIDS please mate?

cheers
 
With using these bulbs, does the warning light still come on?
 
I know this is an old thread but I was planning to change the sidelights and main headlights with the same bulbs you used. I was wondering, was there any issues with the police? Because that's my main concern.

A few questions:
- With the bulbs for the main headlight, it's the same bulb for the dipped and main beam correct?
- Do I need a HID kit for the MTEC bulbs?

Thanks

Hi all

I blew a sidelight recently on my GP 1.4 sporting '56, and thought that I'd give some LED 501 bulbs a try, as I like the modern look of the daytime running lights of recent cars.

Try as I might, the cheap set that I bought on fleabay won't work, I'll plug one side in and it's fine, but as soon as I connect the second they both dim and start flashing!

I put this down to cheap bulbs, so I bought a set for a tenner in Halfords, but to the same end! The techs said if they're doing that then the car doesn't like them. I get an error message on the dash with both sets of bulbs.

Does anyone know why this is or how I can remedy it? Do I need a special type of bulb to suit the canbus system?

Many thanks in advance

Jack
