Elmo Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Looking to get some LED sidelights, just wondering if the standard LED 501 bulbs cause the bulb failure light to come on, if so these would be ideal... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ERROR-FREE-CANBUS-501-W5W-T1-0-LED-SIDELIGHT-Bulbs-/270630833943?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f02dacf17 If you have LED sidelights, please can you let me know if you've had any problems.

SupraShaun Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I have standard 501 LEDs and they work fine. I think Its just the newer cars they cause problems on due to lower resistance (or something like that ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybean Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 http://www.powerbulbs.com/images/large/bluevisionledw5wt10.jpg I got these, got fed up the Ebay ones only lasting a few weeks http://www.powerbulbs.com/product_detail.asp?prod=180 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Some of mine have lasted well over a year, one or two lasted about 6 months. Given the price though, I'd just buy several sets. Edit; All Ebay cheapies from HK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo2810 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Yes, and no problems. They work fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Mine are a pain in the ass to change, headlights everything has to come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 I've changed them before but bluish ones (not LED), they look OK and they still work after a few years but I'm going to fit some HID's so though some white LED would be a better match Current bulbs....

Cheers They are only necessary for cars that have the lighting circuitry tied into the CAN bus (much later cars than the Supra) i use these in mt Skyline and they are pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I have a set in mine that I got from z-LEDs or something like that, I paid £15 for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 These are dear! i got 2 sets of these for around 8 squid from my local motor spares. Updated the front sidelights and the rear numberplate lights...came out a treat and look 100 times better next to the HID's, suprisingly put out quite a lot of light for what they are too! Would definately reccomend these 501's to everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraP-Z Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Mine were the 4 SMD type ones, they point forward and are in an enclosed plastic casing. I just had a look at the ad, and to be fair the ones you posted have 8 SMD's....still a bit expensive IMO though Edited October 22, 2010 by SupraP-Z (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Will these fit? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/501-T10-W5W-25-SMD-LED-WHITE-XENON-Look-parking-bulbs-/180502853054?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a06cef5be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Yep those are the ones mate, the ones i bought had a glass/plastic cover over the top of each individual SMD though...the actual LED itself wasnt showing. Like the ones advertised in the autoscroll on that page you linked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 No not the second ones...the one im on about are the first ones you linked: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/501-4-SMD-LED-WHITE-BULBS-TOYOTA-AVENSIS-RAV4-COROLLA-/200523245334?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2eb01de716 These are the ones. I dont think the 25 SMD ones will fit they look a bit too elongated...not 100% sure on that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 SMDs are stupidly bright compared to regular LEDs, i've done my sidelights, rear number plate and interiors with the SMDs and its such an improvement. All were cheapy sets of ebay and have been fine for a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil-NA Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 http://www.powerbulbs.com/images/large/bluevisionledw5wt10.jpg I got these, got fed up the Ebay ones only lasting a few weeks http://www.powerbulbs.com/product_detail.asp?prod=180 Were these a straight fit matey? I bought some rather exspensive LEDs from another place but they wouldnt fit in the bulb hilders as the body was too wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to get w5w led replacements i.e the 501 LEDS...they should slot straight in mate...havent tried any other leds in there myself, but the 501s are a straight swap for the w5w' bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I had some, they would fit but was too wide for the bulb holder, i could trim a bit off the holder but didnt want to damage it. I will try and get a pic soonish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
