Canbus 501 sidelights

Hi everyone,
Since I've installed 6000k xenon bulbs, I've been wanting to get led sidelights because even though I have "white" halogen sidelights they look horribly yellow compared to the xenon projectors I've bought 3 different kinds of supposedly canbus leds so far and they either flicker and trigger a bulb failure or they are simply too large to fit in the unit does anymore know some that work in the 75 ?

These are what I've used successfully over the years, before I fitted a canbus holder

With the holders you can fit any led

Bought a pair of these LED bulbs from Ebay on Monday, arrived this morning and fitted them dinnertime at work. Drove home this evening through the lanes, headlight started flashing, turning off and back on erratically within one mile, bulb failure warning constantly flashing up on IPK

Got home, refitted standard bulbs I had removed at dinner time (glad I didn't throw them away!), took car for a drive - all back to normal, guess my car doesn't like them (I have quad Xenon headlights fitted, car originally had standard Xenon headlights - Mk 1 conn SE tourer). Not overly impressed, although I suppose I could just have been unlucky and got a rough bulb?

Wonder if the quad xenons have anything to do with it?
Might just be unlucky
