LED porn

I've just swapped my old 501 bulbs which had become quite heavily 'silvered'. No idea why but those bulbs always seem to become more dull over time. I'm sure there's a technical explanation for it.

I purchased some LED bulbs on eBay from fizzmo for my facelift Xenon headlight clusters to replace what we call the sidelights - push-fit small glass bulbs. The ones I purchased were marketed as error-free/Canbus as I didn't want the embarrassment of my headlight pods flickering away like a Halfords demo car.

Four LEDs pointing to the front, and two LEDs either side of the shoulder on the LED light PCB. It took all of one minute to swap them and most of that time was spent reversing the bulbs in their holders as neither of them worked when first fitted. LED lights like their polarity ;-)

I've attached a few pictures to show the marked improvement.
