led sidelight problem

[SI-R32]

So what is different about Reapers bulbs compared to the 5 different bulbs I have tried, is there better resistors, or is it just down to luck

best resistors you can get IMO of course but havent failed me in 3 years are these

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XTEC-LED-LOAD-RESISTOR-KIT-FOR-W5W-501-T10-5w-LEDS-/271051019648

ive used them on side lights (plug and play)
number plate lights (cut and soldered or crimped up connections)
and to add a little exta load to the 21w reverse light as my led one keeps messing about, but not anymore

number plate lights (cut and soldered or crimped up connections)hmm sounds promising

I got these last week

No problems so far...

Sorry pal, I wouldn't know! They are the first ones I've tried and all I know is that they work fine.

Do the resistors get hot? Are you able to tuck them into the head light housing or leave them out due to the heat?

I agree with ^ yellow sidelights look crap 
With regards to number plate bulb failures I bought these for mine www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-Number-License-Plate-Lamp-Light-For-VW-Golf-MK4-MK5-Passat-CC-Polo-LV31-/251305665169?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a82fc2291
£20 and the quality is really good and I haven't had any issue in the 5 months I've had them in.
Takes 5 minutes tops to out both In as well

Ive got these also, great bit of kit and no issues over the past two years or so

Just ordered these, hopefully they will work:

i sell the LED sidelight, a load of members on here are running them no issues. also number plate lights. look at my members ride to see them

I'll post up some pics / feedback on these later, fitted them this morning :)

Looks good Kieran!

I got these off ebay through a friends recommendation, they are slightly blue couloured but had no problems with them as yet (been In about a month)

I tried several led side lights, that didn't work, desperate for a white light.
I then resorted to'blue ice white' Std. bulbs to get a white light, to match my Xenons really.
I wouldn't contemplate the led fitments, that look life wafers of circuit board soldered together.
If they break apart, under vibrations, you'll end up with bits of broked led boards in yout head lights. so led 'capsuled' are the only ones I'd look at.

Still not happy and really wanting LED without the hassles and wasting money by trial and error I just went for these below
Problem solved and just plug n play :D

I tried these which are cheap and spot on.  Very happy with them.

You'll also need these plug n play resistors which fit into the existing light socket, perfectly :)
