Technical Front small led lights from Ebay, do they work?

[Kistos]

Hello everyone. I want to change my front small lights with led. So, i found those two from ebay:

Does any of you bought these kinds of lights? Which one of these would you suggest?

Thanks in advance!

Have a look down this forum for a thread called 'interior LED' or something similar, we have the links for the correct bulbs and resistors needed. Unsure on post number though.

Front sidelights from Halfords and number plate ones the same.
up To you where you get the bulbs from.you will need canbus free resistors attached picture of item number tenner to do from and back you plug them in and then the bulb into the other end

Don't bother with canbus free ones. They may work for a bit and then burn out on you half way down the motorway causing your dashboard to light up like a Christmas tree.

Your best bet is to get nice single w5w led bulb without canbus and then buy a set of resistors. Here's the ones me and swift used
From a company in the UK called halfords, http://www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs-wiper-blades-batteries/led-car-bulbs/prism-led-bulb-501-white

And here's the resistors from eBay.

And here's how they look

I also have them in my number plate light.

Can you please advice me which bulbs should i buy from this seller http://stores.ebay.com/ultrahids/ so i can compine shipping with the resistors?

See the led thread I've posted in pal. I've just let you know in there

The ones you want, should look like this dude, you will NEED resistors as I posted above,

I bought this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/360820077073?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Unbelieveble lot of light, dash error fixed with 47ohm 5w resistor

Unbelieveble lot of light, dash error fixed with 47ohm 5w resistor

After used some of the canbus led-s available on the market, I realized how unreliable they are and bought normal leds like you mentioned.

But now I need to get rid of dash error and I want to ask if you added any radiator to the resistors? do they heat up a lot?

P.S. for anyone interested, t10 warning cancelers from ebay, item id 261463371709 don`t work.

 

[MikeG20]

Yes, they heat up, but i put them inside light housing without any heat sink
Many bulbs with canbus DO show error on dashboard

 

[Matthewr1990]

I had very good canbus error free ones that blew up half way up the M5. The little resistors on them get so hot they burn out. It's best to get an led bulb without resistors and fit your own resistor between the power source and the bulb, the standalone resistors have better heat shield on them and I just poke them away where they won't cause anything to melt/ignite. Keep it away from resting wires. Incase it burns through them.
