I really wouldn't use superglue for jobs like this worked fine for me and has done for the last 4 years but I do understand there is better stuff to use than superglue its just you get 10 tubes for a £1 from the pound shop

Why not just use slovent cement? It's what they were bonded them together with in the factory You get a few moments of adjustment, before it sets and melts/bonds it all together as a sealed unit again. No risk of moisture ingress.

Why not just use slovent cement? because its a nightmare to crack them open a second time when the LEDs inevitably go wrong after time and you need to replace them

Have faith Mario, there are 100 of these little critters in a ring, if the odd one goes it won't show, if the resister goes, splice in a new one Fit and forget! And if it all goes horribly wrong get a new light from Ebay for a tenner.

i cant remember who, but someone did the red lense with 90mm cob indicator.
Ive just bought a set of yellow 90mm COBs, but was curious as to what the colour is like behind the red lens and whether the mot queried anything? 90mm yellow cobs under red lenses as in my sig pic below. Nothing mentioned at MOT time.

I fitted the cob rings (for side lights) and they look great - thanks for the tips,links and the howto :-)
However, I do now have a problem as I can't listen to the radio when I have my lights on. As I now get lots of interference on the radio when I switch my lights on :-(
Did anyone else have this issue, and if so, has anyone found a solution?
Thanks

Great idea about the front screen mounted solution – what make do you have, and is it hidden from view?

Perhaps it's something to do with my car, as my radio is not a DAB one, but just standard Sony FM/AM unit. Nismo: Are you on the standard rear windscreen aerial? Perhaps I've got an earth problem....which is why I wanted to check if anyone else had this issue - or it's just on my car...
