I know this is an old topic.
I just wondered, a year on, how the LED bulb upgrades have been behaving , have they been reliable ?
I'm thinking of replacing my sidelight bulbs with LEDs, so particularly interested in their performance.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
They're still working great and haven't failed me. I was mainly worried about heat damage to the lens plastic for the sidelights (because they'r longer, they sit closer to it) but that hasn't been a problem either
.
Also, I just thought I'd update this with a quick addition I did to my boot.
I thought it was too dim despite adding in a slightly brighter LED, so I decided to add an LED strip light in there too:
It sits "facing" the sub so lights up the right hand side of the boot.
It was fairly cheap from eBay (a few quid) and was easy to wire up. Simply extend the wiring so it reaches around the boot and place under the plastic "lining" along the edge. Now connect it in parallel to your existing boot light.
The result? MUCH more light, for miniscule extra power consumption
