Chris`I Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 The main problem I found with all these LED bulbs is also the angle that the holder is in relation to the direction you want it to point. A lot of these bulbs point straight out and our bulb is at an angle which means you are left with just the light that reflects off the internal reflector of the unit. You can get high powered LED bulbs which would work, if only we could modify them to point straight out the back rather than off to the side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you can fit one of those hidden reverse sensors in the bumper at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St3v50z Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Got mine from ESR I've got the clear fog light unit & also bought the clear indicator bulbs & the led foglight bulb Hey, i'm looking for a set of these clear rear indictors myself, but i cant seem to find them anywhere. The ones on JDM performance are different (crystal clear), which isnt OEM enough for me. You say you got your ones from ESR? Who/what is ESR? I googled them but didnt find anything at all. Do you have a link to where i can buy them? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M350ZB Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 ESR no longer trades bud, and tbh im not to sure where you could buy the oem look from, sure someone will be along soon with an answer soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundus Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I managed to get hold of an OEM light from a UK car. Was planning on fitting it to my JDM when I get it back. Problem is though that all the links to the bulbs in this thread are now out of date and no longer work. Can anyone provide a link for the silver indicator bulbs and also the red one for the fog light? Or just let me know what I need to search for on ebay/google. Cheers guys.

So is it that Red reverse LED bulb that I use for the foglight I take it? Is LED bright enough for the fog light as someone on here said it was a bit poor? Forgive my stupidity. Thanks again.

Sorry, I am a muppet sometimes and dont think what I am typing! That is indeed the fog light, not reverse light Its definately the one you want, I have tried loads from the same seller and that was by far the best. Passed the MOT with flying colours last Sept with it in my clear cluster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bundus Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I already have the rear clear cluster so Im ordering the bulbs from the links in Chris's post above (JDM Performance and Ebay). All set to go now once everything comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcash5 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I would be nervous of the JDM performance ones. I bought 4 and one blew within 2 weeks, two have gone almost a red colour glow now and they are very dim http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/wy21w- ... 16461.html - these are much better Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually its not that much of a problem as they arent too expensive. Ill go with the JDM for now and if they do start to go tits up then I can always replace them with the ones you recommended. At least I wont have to change the cluster more then once. Thanks for the advice though mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt worry too much, I have had my JDM Performance ones for over a year now and they havent faded, although they could be brighter. Nowt wrong with them, I think Dan might have got some duff ones. Phillips ones will no doubt be better quality though, we know for future reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
