I did want to replace all my bulbs with LED's but as you need to wire in a load resistor for each bulb to stop the bulb out dash warning I decided against it for now, but thought about just replacing the indicators for now.

Does the bulb out warning work on the indicators or is it just headlight, tail light & brake light?

Do you think the indicators will still need load resistors to stop them flashing quickly

Cheers

The indicators will need load resistors to stop them fast flashing

Ok, thanks for that.

Do you reckon its worth the hassle? I am not good with wiring so!!

No - bulbs last a while anyway

Its a shame they can't make them with a built in load resistor!!

Its a shame they can't make them with a built in load resistor!!  

But then they would consume more current...

I have a set of these in mine.

Have to say I am impressed. Bright, a better match to the colour of the HIDs and no MID warnings.

They do have a polarity - the blue resistor in the bulb goes the same side as the blue feed wire to the plug.

I have these (or very similar ones) myself as side lights but as these don't flash or apply to the bulb out dash warning system they are fine to fit without resistors. I am very impressed with them too.

I would agree.....unless you have a saloon and thinking of lpg'ing it and want to put the tank where the spare wheel is
