Truckie:
Hi mate, and welcomes. What make of bulb did you go for? I bought a set of reg plate led's from a BMW specialist...They are POOO! Much duller than the oem ones but blue  :sad1: I also purchased some bulbs for the puddle lights but havent bothered fitting them as i fear they may be the same! They are called "blesk" i think?  :confused:

anorganix:
The long ones (like the upper interior, license plate, etc) are called SOFIT and come in 3 dimensions: 39, 41 and 42 mm.
The best ones are the ones that use SMD LEDs.

The smaller ones (like the ones in the headlights) are T10 Wedge W5W.

SOFIT


W5W (T10)

Greeners:
Welcome chap!  :drinking:

JPC:

Truckie,

type this link into the address bar and you shd get the same bulbs I used in my number plates:-

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390148782704&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT.

For some reason they are showing as 80.00 each?!!! Presume its a listing error.

Ignore the mercedes bit. I fitted these with no bulb out errors. They cost me 12.99 and use LED 550 SMD as mentioned. They are bright but not over the top in my opinion and they look awesome!

This link covers the interior bulbs 2 for 4.99 with free p and p. Again ebay. They provide enough light but don't seem to get as hot as other bulbs. I also found the actual body of some of the other LED's to be too long to fit in the apeture. These fit perfect.

The boot bulb is a 42mm festoon bulb from www.ultraleds.co.uk.  (264) 42mm 3 WA SMT Leds Festoon 5W output white. 4.99 each and very bright.
I have also bought the following from the same place for the puddle lights. 501/194/T10 Anti Bulb Warning Xenon White Wide Angle Led. Not fitted them yet but I know others have used them as side light bulbs that cancel can bus errors and look good.

Hope this helps


I can't seem to add photos onto my replies, so if anybody can advise, I'd be greatful?
