A little suggestion, why not make up smaller kits...

Interior bulbs
Front bulbs
Rear bulbs

(or similar)


It may be a little bit affordable for more people.

Morning David

The major part of the cost is the rear light bulb they are working out about £8.50 each (Excluding Postage into Sean and then a onward postage) and there is 3 for each side (Brake, Reversing and Fog) I suppose people could just put the brake light ones on, but they then cost would go up as Sean and me would not be buying as many. its all about the quantity as the other person who was trying to do a deal found out.

I don't know, that's why I posted the thread to gauge peoples response, I did want to waste Sean time any more on something that would go no where.

I can see why the eBayer (and only one that I have found selling these (No Canbus Error bulbs) is changing £21.99 for two of them, I just thought it would be a great offer to the forum members to make a bulk purchase.

Hi Bob, the problem being I would have to order 10 complete sets to get them at this price, so far I have not had to much interest for the sets, a lot of people already have the front side lights but the bulk of the purchase price is for the rear 40 LED ones, I will keep you all informed of what is happening---- WATCH THIS SPACE

Following the interest shown, I have been chatting to Sean and he has managed to secure a slightly better price from another suppler.

Both he and I have come up with a slightly different option.

6 X 40 LED (Brake Light, Reversing Light and Fog light
2 X 16 LED (Orange for the Rear indicators)
£55.99

And the rest of the LED's (Rear Side Lights, Front Side Lights, Interior Lights and Front Indicators
£35.99

THESE ARE NOW CONFIRMED PRICES

Both packages will incur the delivery charge (Sent Recorded 1st Class Post) £3.50 to any U.K mainland address

What do you think on the one now?

Tony,

So a full set is going to cost £95.48 including shipping ?

If I have got it right you can put me down for a full set.

Yep you are spot on Bob, £95.48 for the full kit including delivery.

I will sort out with Sean, how we are going to arrange the payments.

After several emails from members that say what's the difference in brightness between the standard bulbs and the LED's so I have borrowed some pictures from mantianak, to show the differences, there is little point me taking pictures of my car as I have Sean's LED cluster on my car and it will be completely different.





Also you must remember the maintenance factor, the LED ones "should" last the life of the car, so whilst them might seem expensive on the out start, they should pay for them self s in the long run, and don't forget there will be less power drain on the battery with the LED's and it might even help with the MPG as the battery will need less power to run them, which are all good points.

I already have a bunch of 16 led's on order (red, white & amber). They should be brighter than the 40 led bulbs because the 16 use 1156 chips which are 3-in-1 so it's equal to 48 3528 chips which is the type used on the 40 led bulb. They also produce less heat.

Also on the standard rear lights both the 16 & 40 led's are too large to fit through the rear light plastic housing (the smaller bulb). You'd need to cut through the plastic, source smaller leds or leave them with a bulb in.
