WhatsHisName 0 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 What's the correct bulb for these? One is out & the other dull so replacement for LEDs is on the menu. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 They are the 501 capless. I would try and seal the covers up with number plate tape or something. I found when I out led bulbs in mine some moisture got in and the circuit board rusted and popped the bulb. After sealing them up with number plate tape to make a tight seal they've been fine.

WhatsHisName 0 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Sealing them clear plastic things you mean, that screw into the top? On the topic of which, are they supposed to be clear because these ones are frosted. Don't know if the plastic has weathered or if that's how they're supposed to be. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Yea they are not totally clear and there's a prism bit to direct the light to the plate Link to post Share on other sites
WhatsHisName 0 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 There's a few 501s here http://www.crazyleds.co.uk/501-T10-LEDs.html but top 3 are capless. Would any of the top 3 on that page do? I understand they may well be cheaper elsewhere, but i've always been pleased with crazyleds products in the past. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 The top 2 would, the light needs to be perpendicular to the mounting so forward lighting ones won't do anything Link to post Share on other sites
WhatsHisName 0 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Cheers fella. Shame as i think that 3rd is similar to their quad SMD 509T bulb which is absolutely brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites
WhatsHisName 0 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Well thanks for the help. He even told me to go ahead & order the bulbs in. Then what does he do this morning? Yes, 2-3 months after buying the car, he goes into the back of someone at 50-60mph. He's off out picking up some Golf GT TDI now. No idea what bhp. That boy has issues.

Lukey. 381 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Sounds like my little brother Link to post Share on other sites
WhatsHisName 0 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Turned out it's the 130bhp variant. I can see it coming - another goosed turbo because he'll have driven everywhere on the turbo. Plus with it being a turbo it'll give him a false sense of performance so possibly another accident, but if not then most certainly more wreckless driving. I've been behind him on the journey to work & his driving makes me wince & brace myself, even when i'm many cars back. Overtaking when there's oncoming traffic & very little space to overtake. Clearly wants a front row seat in that race to get upstairs. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Haha that's what he did, bought a silver mk4 GTTDI and blew the turbo up a hill 2 days later Link to post Share on other sites
