Speedtrip Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 In my quest to improve general lighting arrangements I've now turned my attention to the illumination from the standard clusters. Whilst surfing I've found a few well priced (£20 a pair) LED replacement bulbs for both the brake/side lights and indicators. The only thing is the advert states there're not for road use. Is this the case for all LED after market bulbs and is anyone using them? I know replacement LED clusters are available but they're rather expensive.

Member Jonathan Kay Posted November 27, 2017 Member Share Posted November 27, 2017 Lots of people are using replacement LED lamps. Quick check list: Do you care if they're legal, and, if so, are they? Resistors! Suitable relay for indicators and flashers. Old ones might not work because of the different load. Off axis illumination. (All photos appreciated.) Clear or orange lamp and lens for indicators.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedtrip Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Jonathan,Thanks again for your response.It seems nothing is straight forward when trying to up grade lighting!Legality wouldn't be too much of a concern, but insurance implication would. On this basis, and bearing in mind my recent 3rd brake light install, I'm probably best leaving things as they are, at least for now.cheers,Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Mason Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Andy, are you or have you done anything with the headlights? Mine are woeful (or it may be just my eyes). I have 5.75 inch (I think) with a flat (ish) clear lens (definitely not a standard affair l don’t think) with normal bulbs.Its on my list though not urgent as limit budget left for 7 as SWMBO has put a stop to my recent spending on account of buying something for the children for Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K7 VCT Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Used classic car led on the net, baised in Bristol. Excellent products for the seven. I ude stop/tail bulbs, number plate, headlights, side light , fog , reverse & indicators from them. Tried othets but these are way better products.
