LED bulb upgrades

[JagGunz]

Hi all. I have just changed some of my bulbs on my 2.5l v6 se with LED bulbs. Side lights,reverse, rear indicators, number plates. They all work fine but when I indicator left or right the light on the dash and the clicking are going really quickly but the indicators are blinking normally. If I put the hazards on they are fine no fast clicking or flashing on the dash.

I am going to change the front ones too see if that's any different.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know

Hi Daniel and welcome to the club I'm sure you will enjoy because we are a freindly bunch.

 

I think you will find once you have the same bulbs all round everything will be OK.

hi dan you can always take advice on the Bulb updates at your local garage or the dreaded Halfords branch, but the old bulbs on the x&s types do look like candles in the light units compared to the newer models, hope you can upgrade without any probs . see -_- and be seen

Yeah didn't think about them but don't like the garages or Halfords. Half or the people in Halfords ain't got a clue. But thanks for the reply.

Hi there all. I have changed all the external bulbs with led bulbs but I was told the fast clicking when using my indicators (internal clicking and fast flashing) but I still have it. Any ideas.

I believe it is because the wattage is lower and the car thinks a Bulb has blown.

[JagGunz]

Ok that's great. Is there anything I can do to stop it.

Some led lamps have a built in override to fool your car, try Googling it.

Cheers for the reply

Hi. Do you mind me asking what H1 LED bulbs you found that actually fit because all the ones I have bought are too wide and do not go through the slot into the housing. Thanks.

John.

I haven't changed the h1 bulbs yet as I'm looking to replace with xenon hid kits.
