Drl led bulbs

Post by Phoenixboy » Tue Nov 06, 2018 9:35 pm

One of my sidelight bulbs needs replacing, and was considering fitting a pair of white led.
Anyone got a link to a pair that are good, but won’t throw any error codes please.

edit - clarker63 beat me to it. His link is for the same bulbs from China.
These are about the best you can get without spending 100's. Quite a few people run them on here.

If you're willing to wait you can get them from China for £20 instead.

you can also increase the drl brightness with Carly. I think the car supplies a slightly lower voltage to the bulbs as standard.

I purchased these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Canbus-120W- ... 2123782537
Look like the same units posted elsewhere but for £18. They arrived in less than a week.

I adjusted the voltage as others have mentioned using NCSExpert. The normal DRL voltage is fine, you just need to adjust the voltage for when the main beams are on otherwise they get dimmer when the headlights come on.
