Do those ones last Mike? ^

I bought some £8 ones from eBay which I grabbed from a link on here somewhere and they last 2 weeks before flickering and eventually blowing  :sad1:
Ta  :happy2:

These are what I have in mine, been in for over a month and they'r fine.

^^ Thanks both  :happy2:

I can't tell you the number of side lights I tried in my Clio and the GTI. It must be in excess of 25 different pairs including the odd interior or number plate bulbs. I've found with the LED or SMD bulbs that you've gotta be careful what you buy and do a bit of research.

The number of those 25 odd sets that have failed within a fortnight is worrying and it's always the last set you but that last the course  :grin:

I think £15 is a lot for a pair of little LED bulbs unless you know they'll last thousands of hours.
