Sick of led blowing
« on: October 05, 2012, 01:54:22 am »
For some reason whichever led I use for side lights the drivers side always after a couple of months then it's the long drawn out case of bumper off etc etc

Am reverting back to halogen does anyone know of any that are xenon style ie white or blue so that I can buy them and not have to ever replace again

The LEDs will fail because of the high amounts of heat that come off the high beam bulb. You can buy metal-cased LEDs that can withstand this heat from ultraleds.co.uk  :happy2:

Why would you need to take the bumper off to change a sidelight?!!  :surprised:

You won't be disappointed nad, the MTEC's are awesome mate.

I've got...

2x H7 MTECs for dipped beam
2x H7 MTECs for full beam
2x H11 MTECs for fogs
2x 501 W5W MTECs for sidelights

I love the Superwhite look  8)

Xenon headlamps use a different bulb altogether, it's not a H7 size
