andy91145 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I've tried buying many led bulbs to use in the rear light cluster all of which don't seem to work mainly the side light and brake lights can't seem to find an led that works as it should.Has anyone done a full led conversion wanting indicators, reverse light and brake lights all led if you have links to where to buy post below please Quote
Amjad Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I've been having trouble finding bulbs for the rear too! CREE are the ones to go for but like you said they don't work properly. Either go straight to brake function without lighting up as a tail, or don't turn on at all! I've done indicators though, type in EP82 led conversion on youtube Quote
andy91145 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 Yeah I was hoping you would comment saw your video on YouTube, what indicators did you use just any SMD? There must be something available out there where the LED work as multi function Quote
Amjad Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Indicators were CREE I even thought of fitting normal 382 bulb holders inside but the housing is part metal. What I'd really want though is for full retrofit led tails with big strips to replace all the bulbs. Seen loads in America but yet to find someone in the UK that does it Quote
FrozenJakalope Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Someone else was having this issue and it turned out to be the way the bulbs are wired. It doesn't matter with a globe but with an LED it's impossible to get them the right way round without swapping the wires over before the plug. Quote
Amjad Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Any more info on that? I didn't wanna go swapping them myself in case of a short circuit Quote

Arnold Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I had no issues with wiring my LED's in, all the bulbs were easy to source from ultraleds and apart from needing the resistors for the indicators, it was all straight forward. I've uploaded photos previously in my blog but if you require further info, just drop me a PM Quote
