Hi

I am having problems with number plate bulbs I bought these http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/121840230166   they worked for 2 days then they stopped after I contacted the seller he sent me new ones and they worked for abour 2,3 weeks now one of them is gone is well so I ordered these now http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/371264650392  hopefully they will work ! Did anyone experience problems with the bulbs like this and what it could be ??

Your top link is dead, so I assume they were either old products being sold off cheap or he realised they were defective and ditched them

www.yorkshiredetailing.co.uk - approved resellers of the Highest quality Detailing & Valeting supplies

2nd link also dead so maybe its a link issue

First I bought these got problems with it 121840230166 now I bought these will wait to see if they work 371264650392

Could be a problem that I touched the bit where it lights up?

I take it the ones you've bought are quite cheap?

I went through the same issues, bought a few different bulbs, found ones that had a good colour and brightness, 1 lasted only a week yet the others were fine, sooner or later others started flickering and others died.

I took a better look into the LED options available and found these by Osram.

There are two versions, the premium and the standard, I can't vouch for the standard, but the premium and great quality and have lasted me over a year and half, i've had them on all 3 of my Fiestas. I first tried the 4000k, which are a bit whiter than the standard sidelights/interior/numberplate etc. lights 6000k or 6800k. the 6800k are just blue, very bright, but obviously not ideal. 6800k gives off a more HID feel, but its just an LED. Don't get me wrong, they are much more expensive (£10-16 for a pair, they seem to change every now and then) but they haven't failed on me yet.

Osram do others along the same line (LEDriving) I've recently purchased an LED Festoon bulb for the courtesy light in my ST-3.

I'll be making a post about my ST build and you can see the pictures of the bulbs there, i'll link it into my signature at some point as well.

My number plate bulbs are these not the 501 sent me link for festoon 

This should do it,

They only come as singles though, haven't got mine yet, but they should be the same quality as the 501/W5W

WoooW £26 for two bulbs that is so expenssive ?! 

Price you pay for long lasting light!

You can probably get them cheaper somewhere else, just google ledriving 6000k festoon bulb

I will wait for those I ordered now from ebay if they go I will need to spend more £

Did you get these yet?
