LED bulbs for Gen.4 rear lamps. was created by Roger Fairclough

I would like to change the std. rear bulbs for LED options but Martin doesn't list them. Does anybody know of a source?

Cheers

Roger

If you mean the rear lights, brake lights and turn indicators, I think you have to change the whole fitting, no just the bulb. There are quite a few sellers on eBay, ETC, but nearly all of them don't have a fog light which makes them unsuitable for UK roads.

Jimnystyle sell one which does have fog light, but it's £262

Cheers Robin. The w/shop manual indicates that the bulbs are capless and can be removed, but thanks for the response.

It's because the law says you are not supposed to use led in lamps not designed for them. Though most of the time that is monitored in head lamps more often than tail lamps.

If you do change them despite the regs (LED brake lamps illuminate quicker, which may help safety), bear in mind that many LEDs will cause an error because the car sees lower resistance and assumes a bulb or circuit has failed. Canbus-friendly ones should work but get a money-back guarantee.

Apart from headlamps, LED replacements aren't currently checked for at MOT time but they do contravene construction and use regs, and could get you a ticket from the police.

This place in Australia has them for £34 and they will post to the UK no problem.

Much cheaper option, I've got a set coming on Tuesday according to the tracking.
