LED Side Lights

One of my ultra led (2 led ones) ones has just failed after little more than a year. Anyone found anything more reliable? Not happy with the poor lifespan...

Mine were c**p too! Both failed within a year and the company completely ignored my emails. Now installed Ultra Power Bulbs (Art: BU434P) but they've only been in a couple of weeks or so.

Frankow, I've got a similar set-up in my sides, so all white, matches the Bi-Xenons perfectly.

Have you done anything about your H7 flashers, to match the white look of the rest?

HI,

I sold the car earlier in Feb

I had thought of changing the high beam/ flash but was not really sure how the LED H7 bulbs available would hold up when main beam was required.

I fitted the LED H7's. Bright, and matches the factory Xenon Plus, but very little travel. I'm going to replace them with a 4300k HID kit, and 3000k for the foglamps.

Just remember that HID's are not great as a flash lamp, they take a few seconds to warm up and emit at full capacity, hence the reason for halogens being used as OEM hi beam.
