GingerFlame Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrico777 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Could be a problem that I touched the bit where it lights up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxxxykins Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 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. http://www.osram.co.uk/osram_uk/products/led-technology/led-vehicle-and-bicycle-lighting/cars/led-interior-lighting/ledriving-w5w-premium/index.jsp 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. http://www.osram.co.uk/osram_uk/products/led-technology/led-vehicle-and-bicycle-lighting/cars/led-interior-lighting/index.jsp 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. eBay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OSRAM-W5W-LEDriving-Interior-Styling-Lights-6000K-Cool-White-Twin-2850CW-02B-/262014442003?hash=item3d01471a13:g:uSIAAOSw~bFWH59x amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/LEDriving-Retrofit-interior-2850CW-02B-consumption/dp/B0088XET0S/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1454444220&sr=8-3&keywords=ledriving 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxxxykins Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 This should do it, http://www.powerbulbs.com/product/c5w-led-driving-6000k-cool-white-singlehttp://www.powerbulbs.com/product/c5w-led-driving-6000k-cool-white-single They only come as singles though, haven't got mine yet, but they should be the same quality as the 501/W5W 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
