LED sidelight recommendations?

Featured Replies

Been using Autobeams premium LED sidelights but after replacing them 4 times since purchasing my first set in late October 2016 obviously not worth the hassle and worry of them flickering after 1 month which has been the case with all the LED bulbs from them. (Can't understand why they won't last more than a month) the last pair they sent out were just the standard bulbs but after just over a month they're flickering again. 

If anyone can recommend another set of LED bulbs to me (not rubbish eBay ones please) or even a standard halogen bulb that has a crispy white light that'd be great.

Thank you.

I use Autohaus ones( my mate sells these & they lasted atleast 2 or more years & i only paid a tenner for pair. These are heat resistant canbus bulbs. I have them in fiesta mk7 & focus sidelight & puddle lamps in mirror. Saying that i need to pick some up from him as my old ones are flickering.

I've heard a lot of good things about Cree for some reason thought they was just reverse lights, thanks a lot.

Sadly they're for interior use and don't look to be canbus without having to fit the extra Phillips error cancellers.

You're kidding, Looks like a trip to halfords when my card comes through!

will use these for rear number plate :tongue:

Sorry for the slight hijack but do you need to replace the entire light fitting to use LED bulbs or can you just swap them out?

I've registered but can't seem to buy anything as there's no 'buy' button on the website.

It says they're in stock.
