People Hi,

some time ago we were discussing the topic of replacing the conventional
bulbs on side, stop and flasher lights on D90 and D110 vehicles with LEDs.

I would be grateful if you could advise me of the source and types required
so as to have a complete set of replacement LED bulbs for front and rear
side lights, flashers (front, rear and side ones) and side lights/stop
lights for the rear .

Alternatively if a fellow lister can provide me with a full set I will be
more than happy to hear directly from you at pantg@REMOVETHISotenet.gr

Thanks for your kind input and suggestions
Pantelis

Mr Shackles recently recommended[1] this firm:

Depending on application you will probably need a load resister in circuit
for the flashers.

either that or surgery on the flasher unit. Depending on which one it is,
and if you can get the data for the chip, you can cut the track to the bulb
outage sensor - this will get you normal flashing speeds without faffing
around with resistors.

in theory, you should be able to "reprogram" the bulb outage - it's done by
selecting a suitable resistance for the flasher circuit. However, the
difference in current might be tricky as the currents are much smaller than
the normal ones you expect with bulbs.

William and Austin thanks for the swift reply and the information.

Take care

I was a bit miffed that they sell stuff for more UKP than superbright sell
the same items for USD. If they're importing from the states and reselling
that's hardly surprising. If they're sourcing elsewhere, then buggrem.

'aving compared prices on their Luxeon stuff against even Farnell, they

I bought rear tail/brake lights from eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8015209697

&#163;5.50 inc P&P if you BIN.

They work very well but...

If you have stiff lampholders be very careful - I broke one
and
they must be fitted to all lights in the circuit otherwise they fail to work - so if you are towing then you need some in the trailer lights too.

Not sure how they would work for flashers (obviously not the red ones!) but they emit a larger more even glow for my tail lights.
