I purchased some lights converted to LEDs via the Forum many moons ago. Unfortunately a run of 4-5 bulbs seems to have stopped working. See top light in picture;



I don't want to strip down twice. I suppose it could be a wiring problem rather than a bulb blow, but just in case I need to replace the lights, can anybody point me in the direction of the LEDs I would need to buy to make a running repair?

Thanks

get rid of those gash leds and get some cobs in there!

Unfortunately some LEDs on that set seem to have died,
The technology has moved on now
there are much better options to choose from,
The simple coupe rear lights can be easily adapted and modified to accept the latest LEDs
With alternatives like the hellas being able to be fitted.

I rather like these simple LEDs and not keen on the Hellas.

Do they not sell these LEDs in strips or something. All I want to do is have a replacement to hand, so if I open up and find I can't fix I am ready to replace.

Can anybody recommend what I need and a source?

You're not alone Mark, I think I prefer the simple LED look.

The cobs do look fantastic generally (I love the white ones on BMWs), but somehow just seem a little too modern on the Coupe's rear end. Suum cuique though

Something like these should do:

Is it just a matter of time before the other sets start to go!
would you be better off getting 90mm diameter rings and changing the lot?

To each his own!

I started with the above leds in my rear lights and have just changed to the cob rings and the improvement is great , a newer look to the rear of the car but it does take time to get used to the look of the cob rings , the cob rings I think will last longer as your not stressing the leds by bending them , mine never went in the 4 years i had them installed but a set I did for another forum member did .

I also prefer the led look .

I think they both look good , all depends on what you like .

leds strips on left , cob rings on right .

Hey Ian
I thought you had a blue coupe not a Porto as your avatar!
Or is that the colour of the primer at the moment

i have an electric blue coupe with a bit of primer on it .

these will do the trick Mark and the cheapest I found on ebay , you will need to cut them down to 27 leds to fit the rear lights .

Fantastic, exactly the assistance I was looking for. Much appreciated.

Long live the FORUM
