majik_thighs Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thats just with the sidelights, they are awesomely bright and in daylight serve as DRLs. Sent from my Galaxy S 5 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Used them for my reversing lights - they are a great replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yes they would be great for reversing lights. But the ones on the outback are tiny LED s so wouldn't fit. Sent from my Galaxy S 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 My GT-B has smoked reversing lights as standard and with normal bulbs they are useless, but I fitted a pair of CREE LEDs a while back and it made the world of differance. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Just a thought.....these are road legal, aren't they? :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Ive had them on my cars for the past 5 years and been stopped for various things and not one rozzer has mentioned them. they`re not so bright as they blind anyone.....lets face it the stock ones are **** poor. Its supposed to be illegal to have blue lights showing on any car except emergency services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 lol @ rozzer thanks mate.....just was on a bulb-selling site and the description on some (stupidly expensive) phillips T10's said they were ok for internal, but not external use. Can't wait for mine to come now :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 I'll have a look under the bonnet for you. Sent from my Galaxy S 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Shows the location of the bulb, if you take the Battery off it will be a breeze. Do this one first. Same on the other side, not as easy to remove the airbox but it will make the job easier if you do. At first it looks like the LEDs are too big to fit in the same hole as the stock bulb but if you line it up you`ll find they will just fit.

majik_thighs Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 They are not quite as bright as the pictures make them seem, you obviously get glare in the camera lense. So there`s no way anyone would think they are`nt stock bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david1972 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Had a look tonight as it was getting dark to see if I could locate the sidelight bulb holders....think I've found them and depending on how they come out, may not need to remove Battery or air box. So - first question - are the holders a kind of figure 8 shape with 2 sets of wires coming out the back? Second question - do I twist to remove holder from socket or just pull straight out?

The LED is just a fit and just pushes back into its wee hole without needing to twist it. If you can do it without removing said items then your a better man than I Have fun :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majik_thighs Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Although having said all that I managed to do it with things in place so your not so much better. But it does save the hands and fingers being scratched and cut up. Going to be a fine weekend so enjoy! ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david1972 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Yeah mate, tight into the holder but fitted back through the aperture fairly easily. I'll try and get a pic when the light starts to go. They do look great though [emoji41] I was going to ask actually; have you ever had to replace a bulb?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I swapped them over from the last OB, I was going to get a couple of spares, at the time they were only available from Australia but now they`re closer to home, no need. LEDs outlast normal bulbs and draw less power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I might get a spare pair as only £4, but sounds like, defects apart, I may not need them [emoji106] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
