Title: Number plate light & steering
Post by: G4SYU on August 18, 2016, 01:12:21 am

Changed my number plate lights to a set of led bulbs which i purchased from ebay.
Now they dont 100% work all the time.
One of my holders has also become loose.
Anyone recommend which bulbs to purchase, i would like it to be bright.

Also sometimes when i put my foot down my steering pulls to the right and the wheel stiffens
Any help is appreciated.

take out the whole holder and replace with these:

ive got these and had them for over 3 years now and they never have flickered or blown out like the bulbs do.

I bought these bad boys when they were under £15 delivered.
