LED sidelights

I know a lot of you have bought them and had problems with them

so what have you done with the LEDs that you bought??

sent them back, thrown them away, fitted to a different car??

A suitable resistor connected across the positive/negative leads for the original bulb should solve any warning light issues.

Or wire in the original bulb, but hide it out of sight somewhere in the engine bay (away from anything likely to catch fire)

No I was just wondering whether people had bothered to send them back with the ridiculous cost of postage or just slung them away

Left mine fitted.... they passed MoT and very rarely give a false fail warning.

I sent mine to Cash4LEDs.co.uk - you ring them up, they send you an envelope, you put your unwanted LEDs in the envelope and send them back to them, and they send you a cheque. If you're not happy with the sum they offer, you can send the cheque back and get your LEDs returned.

(...or was that gold instead of LEDs?)

fitted them to the rear numberplate lamps. Strangely there aint a bulb failure warning on them

Courtesy & map lights, they work a treat

I put LED bulbs in the number plate lights and in the sidelights. Sidelight ones put the warning symbols on the display between the vents and the rev counter and i then moved them into the interior light but then kept putting the car into limp mode. Took them all out and was then fine.
