Title: LED 501 Side Light Bulbs
Post by: akbarirfan on November 06, 2020, 11:29:40 am

Hi All,

Is anybody running LED 501 Side Light Bulbs? I've been through a number of canbus error free sets that do not work!!

Please share a link if you have ones that work.

Thanks

I ended up getting side lights, reverse, interior kit with number plate lights for mine from Lush UK on ebay - no issue with canbus

Not the cheapest, but experienced near immediate fail with other sellers products

Not sure if it makes any difference mine is 2006 with Xenon lights.
Take one of your current side lights out and compare the connection in the listing - should be a wedge/peanut bulb

Serving suggestion - they only work with the electrical circuit one way, check they work before installing into the headlight

Thanks. Turns out lush weren't too far to drive to, picked these up and so far they are the only set that have worked.
