These are the one's I used - £15 a pair, or only £7.50 with the trade card

Nice and even. They are 200 lumen compared to the 40 or so of the standard bulb. No errors.
Sounds perfect - I'm going to have to give this a go too! Thanks for sharing, Mike!Ducklakeview wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2017 12:14 amNice and even. They are 200 lumen compared to the 40 or so of the standard bulb. No errors.

Yup, was well aware of that, however I had these LED's lying around, and I wanted something brighter, so it was a no-brainer, no cost job.philbo909 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2017 9:57 am not to rain on your parade mike, but if you drill two small holes, the light can come out as a bayonet.

Have you or anybody else tested a bulb like you linked?philbo909 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2017 9:57 am not to rain on your parade mike, but if you drill two small holes, the light can come out as a bayonet. Then replace with a bayonet led, saves on dremeling/soldering

That's a fair call. But if a quality BA9 bulb is easier to retrofit than your option (which you yourself said was done simply because you already had some of the W5W bulbs) then it's surely the optimal solution?Ducklakeview wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2017 12:01 am My experience of unbranded eBay bulbs is that they are usually rubbish and don't last..
My reasoning on these is that if Halfords see fit to give them a 5 year warranty, the failure rate must be very low.
Yeh, I've had the bulb I linked in for a year now and not had an issue, like Mike says it doesn't have five year warranty, but for the low price it's worth it imo! Much better than buying a £30 whole new side Light unit like bmw intendedMangozac wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2017 11:55 pmHave you or anybody else tested a bulb like you linked?philbo909 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2017 9:57 am not to rain on your parade mike, but if you drill two small holes, the light can come out as a bayonet.
