LED front and rear indicators ?
« on: 19 November 2012, 21:23 »
I have the LED rear lights but hate the fact that the indicators are a standard bulb.  Has anyone changed these for LED ? 
Same for the front indicators.........

From what i remember from the rear of the rear lights I don't think you can change anything.

Fronts will just be a standard bulb but you will need canbus friendly leds to replace it.

I have only changed the side light bulbs for LED's on my xenons as that annoyed me it was too yellow.

James,

I take it when you changed the side lights you had to do some coding??

Just a question but do the rears really matter?
I also like LED bling everywhere but because rear indicator bulbs are behind an opaque lense I havent bothered, same goes for front indicators. The LED DRL's in the ED35 are the bis but again I'm not convinced I'd get much more out of the front indicator being LED due to the cover/diffuser?

You're right, the rears don't offer much over regular globes.  Take a look at the vid on the Bold Sport site.
