Now available in 9.5watt thats 95% brighter than the existing cree Q5 ones at 450 Lumens per bulb and they will fit the P21w Ba15 socket that we have in the focus.

Hmmm.
I've seen some led headlight bulbs, giving 300% more light.
Are they legal here and has anyone experienced them?
Any good?
$38.28 each plus about £1 P&P from the land of the rising noodle.

I fitted one of these (not a bad price given you get two) a few weeks ago. Unfortunately the tint to the rear of my car is so dark it hasn't really made much difference to reversing but it is definitely brighter

I got 5 watt ones in the back of my Fiesta, not the best... But then again the original's were crappy too. Going to invest in some 9W ones that aren't just leftovers.

Got 5W ones in my sidelights that are really bright (could be mistaken for headlights at night) only they don't really put much onto the road, however my 11W fog's do

But you only use them in fog, don't you?
I mean, you wouldn't be a knob and use foglights as spotlights.
Would you?

They should be ok mate,
But their is now CreeQ7 which are smaller and 3 times brighter. Alltronix are a good stockest in the uk. They msy not be the cheapest supplier but a good one.

CanBus has been in effect since 2001 in most manufacturers mate,
So to be sure to work in either case id fit CanBus to the reg and parking but the footwells are not CanBus but you can fit Canbus even if it is not required in the fitment.
But if you fit non CanBus in to a socket that requires CanBus then they wont power up/illuminate.

Put some CREE's in my main beam, could drive round all day with them on without blinding people, look cool how the unit is lit up - but then the purpose of a main beam is to be bright, so unfortunately I'd say not for beam's at all. Mainly did as a test rather than actually going out and trying them on an evening.

what exactly is the difference between these £20 ones and the £7 ones that come up when you ebay it?
i read all sorts about error messages when getting new number plate bulbs and i paid no attention tbh

will it just be the usual thing about cheap ebay quality?

cheers

A fellow forum member called "Brigante" purchased for 7pounds on ebay to find that they didnt work at all and ended up purchasing for 12pounds each from another supplier.
