XC70: Information - Which LED’s?

Johnny Kebab · Sep 2nd, 2018, 20:08

Hi all

Just wondering what LED’s people are using for their XC70’s side lights and side marker lights? The ones I bought off eBay don’t fit through the slots so are no use.

Thanks in advance.

I tried a couple of sets. They need to be "slim" to fit into the light unit.

My preferred ones are "OSRAM LEDriving Standard W5W Cool White " I put them in about a year ago after the last cheap chinese/ebay/unbranded ones started flickering.

Very bright, and so far very reliable - i put the same bulb in the motorbike too

Cheap chinese ones off ebay are too unreliable...

Are these the ones that would be called "Position" lights (the one thats constantly on in the orange section of the light unit) ??

Try www.powerbulbs.com - they are a trusted seller offering branded lamps.

They have a selection tool where you can put in your car details and it will tell you what LED alternatives there are...
