C30 Electrics : - Amber LED Bulbs

dew1911 · Nov 21st, 2011, 23:29

Anyone found any good LED Amber bulbs to use in the front marker lights in the C30? I got some white/blue LEDs now and they look yellow behind the filter.

I'm not going back to Halogens, but would like something a bit more orange.

I've converted my indicators and all of the rear lights on my S60 to LED. I bought all of them from China, via ebay. All of them work well, pass an MOT and are still going strong 12 months down the line, oh and they were very inexpensive

Cheers mate, the annoying thing is I have about 25 pairs of LED 501 bulbs, in all colours Blue, White, Green, Red, Pink, but none orange, and it just annoys me that behind the filter a white one goes more yellow (realised it's not clear in that pic, but when stood looking at it, it is).

Shows a bit better here

All my LEDs came from autobulbdirect.co.uk . and they have lots of different ones and colours and majority are SMD types and not LEDs so are brighter and they have can bus error free ones as well

Someone linked me to that - £18 a bloody pair!

Thanatos · Nov 22nd, 2011, 21:28

Yeah that's what I paid but they are good

One step closer got some cheap Amber LED's (£1.99 for the pair) which are a bit better colour wise, but I'm not happy as they seem a lot dimmer than the ones before

Don't think I'll ever win this one!

For anyone else with a Volvo with this problem, I have the solution, these.

Right colour, nice and bright, and not £18 a pair. I even got the spares that are going in the mirrors
