Randy_Baton Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Just noticed one of my LED side bulbs has gone and the other is flickering. The amazon reviews for replacements are all over the place! My last ones lasted 2 years so could do with some that'll last a similar time. Getting them in was a right bugger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I used these ones before although tbh they didn't look the prettiest in the Zed head lamps when you look inside during daylight. Worked fine for over a year before I sold the Zed & are fairly cheap so not too bad to replace once a year even if they did go.

Jonny B Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I've put osram led's in my sidelights on the 370. I've tried various led's in different cars and found osram to be the best quality. I've got the 6000k cool white ones, been in over a year with no trouble, they have a 3 year guarantee on them. They arnt the cheapest but they are well worth spending a few extra pounds on (think they were about £10 for a pair) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy_Baton Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 ^^^^As above . . . https://www.amazon.c...B/dp/B0085M0XDE Just ordered them and they've arrived - they look a bit small they are w2.1x9.5d is that right. Other threads suggest they need to be 501 but it doesn't state that anywhere on the packet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other threads suggest they need to be 501 but it doesn't state that anywhere on the packet From what I can find I think it should be the right ones. These eBay ones I've linked state "w2.1x9.5d" but also say "501": http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10x-RW501-Bulb-12v-Capless-W2-1x9-5d-Side-Light-and-Tail-Bulbs-/280884577776 I think the only way to know for certain is to get them fitted. You could try one in your boot light first though as a trial because that uses a 501 bulb & will be easier to get at than the 350 Zeds sidelights. Fyi ~ Remember LED's are polarity sensitive so if it doesn't work the first time then take it out and put it in the other way around.

Jonny B Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 On the packet for the ones I fitted in my 370z it says W2.1x9.5d on the top left. Then down the right says W5W. They fitted fine in mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny B Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Come to think of it, I'm sure 501 and W5W are just the same thing from what I read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy_Baton Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 They fitted fine, they don't appear very bright though. Still its a 5 minute job if I ever get pulled up for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
