HI RVM ,
They are the correct type of led bulb for the 500L UK I have tried four so far but each time the canbus says check DRLs. It seems the 500L and 500X are different? 500L has a duel filament bulb 21w/5w as used in by Vauxhall, VW, Chrysler and Fiat.
As to why I have to change the brake light bulbs so often? I do not know! but i can now do it in less than 10 minuets (lol) One thing to watch out for when changing the brake light bulbs is the chrome light unit surround, its just held on with plastic clips and they break very easily !!
Back to LED's I have discovered that the headlight bulbs can be replaced with LEDs without affecting the canbus! Another note, changing the headlight bulbs is so easy, no fiddle clips, just spring clip pull out and push in ...
