Changed all my bulbs for SuperWhite LEDs

[richtung]

sam - what was the cause of the battery drain? I take it wasnt the LED's that caused this?

Always good to know the outcome of these issues

I keep looking at this thread

I have LED sidelights and when the headlights are on they are obviously different in colour to my headlights. What headlight bulbs match the colour of the LED sidelights ? Not that i drive it much at night , but like my car to look right

Hi Sam, thanks for the pm. I'm so glad you finally sorted it out with the battery and that you are happy with the LEDs mate.

I'm going to try and sort out all the remaining bulbs next 

There are another 12 to do 

Hey Monte

Yep, it was causing me alot of stress im so glad its all sorted and nothing to do with the LEDs!

12 more Bulbs?! what ones are they? are there bulbs in the reflectors when you open the doors?

i also found another bulb i need to change, when i take the keys out the ignition a light under the drivers wing mirror. some home i think im going to have to take the wing mirror housing off to find out what style of bulb this is!

Erm to be honest mate not all that sure, i think it was just my batteries time to go. it was the original battery from 05 so it must of been on its last legs!! when i got it tested by halfords it came up as a big fat 0%!!!

Well I've done the Headlights and fogs with MTEC bulbs, the interior and numberplate are all LEDs.....

So that leaves the rear clusters (x8 bulbs)  the front indicators (x2)and the indicators in the wing mirrors (x2)

The Rears have 6x P21W's and 2x H6W's

I'll have to investigate the front indicators tomorrow but I think it will be another 2x P21W's and 2x H6W's 


I'll sort a list tmrw with Matt when he gets home.

Any idea about the light under the driverside mirror when u take the key out?

They will be the puddle lights. Not sure which bulb they take as I don't have them but a quick search might reveal the answer.

EDIT:

The bulb is a 501 w5w, so you should be able to change to the same ones as the footwell lights (need to be canbus error free)

are the sidelights in this kit  same for the r32 xenon headlamp?

Okay, so I've fitted all my new LED's (except the reg plate 36mm CAN-BUS Festoons as I already have these) but I think I'm one bulbs short.

The list from the first page says:

*1Pk of 2 --- 6SMD 36mm Festoon LED's --- Numberplate. (Canbus error free).

Spare. Not used for number plate.

*1Pk of 2 --- 6SMD 36mm Festoon LED's --- Sun Visor.

I used.

*1Pk of 2 --- 8SMD 42mm Festoon LED's --- Boot. (Only 1 needed but comes in 2pk)

I used one for the boot. ONE SPARE

*3Pks of 2 --- 5SMD 501 W5W LED's --- Front Map 2. Rear 3. Glovebox 1.

Correct also. All bulbs used.

*1Pk of 2 --- 8SMD 501 W5W LED's --- Footwell. (Canbus error free).

Used as well.

However there's a 36mm festoon bulb in the centre of the front map. I had a spare couple of CAN-BUS 36mm's but thought I had a full kit? 

I'm not dissing Matt in anyway. The LEDs are fantastic and he posted them super fast. Thanks for that mate, much appreciated. Anybody else found themselves a bulb short?
