Insignia B - list of lights & bulbs / LED upgrades

$54 for indicator bulbs!!!

Yeah I had a look to see if I could find the same ones cheaper. Not seen any but it was only a quick look. I won't be paying that though.

Worth noting that the ones I linked were in AUD so that’s $54 Australian Dollars, works out to be about half that in GBP, or a little bit over half in Euro I believe.

Here is one that’s a bit cheaper that looks to be the same, and these also look the same in the photo and are the same brand so they may work as well (although have different names).

Hi All.

List below of my changes. All fitted now for months and working like a charm

Dipped main beam - alternative link to cheaper identical bulb - decoders needed as per Marko’s link

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0773CW4L7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_FHHRfbCfpS77t

Main full beam - similar brand to Marko’s link just brighter - no decoder needed on main beam

Reverse light

Rear Indicator bulbs - no resistors needed

Side repeaters

Fog lamps,
The stock bulb is H8 but H11 also fit. Be careful though if you get a cheap bulb with a poor seal the housing can leak and your fog lamp can become a “fogged lamp”. I have reverted to halogen. The ones below will work

I also have changed the rear fog lamp but I can’t find the link. I will repost this later

Sorry for bringing this up again, but can you give me the links for dipped and main beam bulbs again? Those links from the first page are unavailable for me. Thanks in advance, and great work marko301 Defie

Well I've just upgraded to LED H7 dipped bulbs via amazon ... the bulbs work although not sure how bright they are till tonight.

I do have the error flash up on the dash though.

Will any H7 led canbus resistor work to remove the error as all the links in this thread are dead now...

I've seen a bunch on ebay all ranging widely in price.

Yeah all H7 resisters will work.

Which bulbs did you get? It's important they have the cut off or you're going to dazzle other road users.

Ahh, I didn't know that...

These are the ones I got as I foolishly believed the description saying that they didn't bring up codes...

Didn't Know about the beam issue

They're not looking good, mate. Even if the beam was ok. The output of those won't light a cupboard. The type I have are getting harder to find but they have good light output and importantly have the correct beam because they mimic the halogen bulbs they replace. These are the same as the ones in my dipped beam. You still need resisters to stop the error message though.

OK, it's got a little darker so tried them against a wall...

Beam pattern looks good, very definitive cut off point and both slant downwards to the centerline of the road.

They aren't fantastically bright but better than the halogens they replaced (marginally).

When I'm feeling flush (got a £700 insignia bill this week) ill get some brighter ones

Now I just need to get the resisters

Remember you can get cheap ones for your main beam. I have these in mine. Main beam aren't canbus either so no need for resisters.

Has anybody tried these ones? Look good to me...

No but feel free to be a guinea pig

If they don't give the correct beam pattern in dipped beam you can always stick them in your main beam.

Ordered them... Guinea pig challenge accepted

This will be interesting.

Remember we want them to look like this
