I haven't suffered it but I always tend to buy/use CANbus compliant leds as the inbuilt resistors etc prevent the afore mentioned problems.

Can you let me know what you fitted, I spoke to someone about the Canbus ones today and he mentioned about the heat from the resistor. I've just ordered these will they do? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

Off the top of my head I can't find a link to the ones I have in atm. But they look like these, except they were CANbus comp. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-T10-8-...item43b8b5c219 |

No, i noticed they were still faintly dim when i parked and locked up the car which worried me a bit, i went out 20-30 mins later to check and i could see that they had gone off completely. In fact, just been out to confirm this and they went out within 10 mins!

Fortunately I haven't suffered with this problem, I normally buy canbus led's to stop these kind of problems, I must have just got lucky this time.

The first led's i put in didn't do it, i think they were 9 bit festoons but since i have changed to 16 bit festoons, i have had the problem. I don't have any probs with the rear passenger ones which are the T10 wedge type!

I'm a little shock at the price of some of the LED bulbs.
I'm tempted to swap a few around in my S40 but how much of a difference will it make. I already think my brake lights and reversing lights are pretty bright so I would presume LEDs would be even brighter plus potentially last longer. |
