CASHEYE Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Has anyone swapped their rear bulbs for LED/SMD bulbs and if so, what were the results like? Any of the usual LED related issues? How was the brightness compared to the originals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I got SMDs in my reverse. I wouldn't bother with anything else on the rears apart from stock bulbs due to the double filament being better than 2 types of led/smd in 1. Plenty of vids on youtube. With sidelights on, you really cant tell when brake is applied. Could probably stick a SMD in the indicator, but it would be mega annoying for other drivers.

Ric Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 They will bring on the light out warnings on the dash, you can remove the bulb. Indicators will make the indicators flash too quickly.. you can fit a LED indicator relay to solve that though. If the LED's are cheap you can get flashing whilst the lights are off (as LED's build up the current which can still be on the circuit) where as a filament type bulb would just do nothing.

Al Massey Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 If you buy decent bulbs, there will be no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Get the CANBUS bulbs and you'll not go wrong. I had LEDs all round in mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
