replacing rear indicator bulb for an led?
Hi all nice to see an active forum, i have a 57 plate (dec 2007) 5 sport, but want to change rear amber bulbs for an led type, any ideas i know its a slot type connection not the baynet type and want to make sure i get the correct bulb.
thanks

I would advise against changing the incandescent to an LED, the replacements usually dont have the same output as the incandescents do and are therefor dimmer. PLUS you will get the problem of a blinker that will not blink at the correct speed, the flasher relays are made for a certain amount of amperage use and when you use less (think blown bulb) the relay will flash MUCH faster. Just keep your original bulbs, its not worth going to LED if it wasnt made for it.
Also, welcome to the forums!!!! If you could add your vehicle to your signature (use mine as an example) that would all help us out alot

You can replace the relay with one that is LED compatible. This one ( CF13JL-02 LED Bulb Electronic Flasher | Flashers & Load Resistors | Car Bulb Installation Supplies | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs ) . I did this on mine and works fine with no hyper flash... These are the bulbs you need: Pair GP-Thunder 7440 SMD 24-LED Light Bulbs TurnSignal BackUP Tail Amber | eBay
