Are these led 501/w5w lamps ok to use http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/B...ulbs/brake-lights-bulbs/?971776331&0&cc5_401?

They should fit...whether they work is another question.

I ordered the l.e.d's from eurocar parts ?5.87, so if they don't work I will return them easily. Also ordered the Philips X-treme Vision H7 lamps through Ebay from official UK Philips dealer for ?18.35

Yea I have them also they are excellent + 130%...so much brighter, i upgraded the wee side ones to these


Philips 12961NBVB2 WhiteVision Halogen Headlamp Bulb W5W, 12 V, Set of 2


They are a huge improvement... my front end is so bright...I remember when me Jimmy Soof and Shad3 were out a few weeks ago, Shad still had the standard bulbs in, they looked yellow compared to mine.

Let us know if the LEDs work, tbh I doubt they will be much better than W5Ws I fitted.

Awesome, realised how bad the lights are when night riding a couple of weeks ago, cheers for the info. If the LED's don't work I'll get those WhiteVisions.

Their excellent HP you won't be disappointed.

Hi gents

all great but what about brighter bulbs did they dont generate more heat ? Did they not damage the lamp ?

As long as you stick to 55w you should be ok for heat.

Well the LED 501 W5W lights work from Eurocar parts and look pretty awesome. Just waiting for the Philips X-treme vision plus H7's to complete the headlights and have originals as spares for travelling Europe.
Might go for a spin tonight after walkies with the pooch now. Weather is good here.

I've not done a side by side comparison but I wouldn't think they would look yellow... mine are pin sharp and pure white...

The LED and X-treme vision plus do look really good together. I'll upload a photo when I get chance. Both white light merge together well. I installed the Philips lamps tonight.

Don't bother with the LED's from Eurocarparts, the end of the LED has broken off and is now loose inside. I will have to try and use my very long tweezers to extract the broken part.
