  • Led indicator bulbs

    looking for some advice guys.

    One of the rear indicator bulbs went today.
    I've replaced it with the standard W21W bulb.
    It's got me thinking not putting leds into them.
    Would leds work ok or would they flash a lot faster than the standard ones?

    marco has just put some in his gs,with no errors,but ours have different bulb fittings,only one way to find out ,they should flash the same speed, its something I want to do ,then the whole back end is led

            Capless will probably be harder for them to put the resisters or what ever whatnot they stick in to stop them flashing to fast. These are mine. They're quite big.

                I think they need to be capless in the rears of a facelift. They're capped.

                    I have tried 4 different types of indicator bulbs in my pre-facelift Sports tourer and the only ones I have been happy with are the ones below

                    Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for 2 Amber Orange Py21w 581 Bau15s Bulb 48 SMD LED Turn Signal Reverse Light DRL UK at the best online prices at eBay! Free delivery for many products!


                    They are the only LED indicator I have used that are brighter (very slightly) than standard and have great light distribution.

                    A word of warning, the front and rear indicator bulbs are different in the pre facelight ST, the fronts are PY21W and the rears are P21W.

                    I did need to fit load resistors to these for them to work correctly but i am used to that now , i have 8 load resistors all together now ffs - Brake lights, DRL, Front Indicators and Rear Indicators.

                    The most frustrating thing is, the car CHOOSES to flash fast. It flashes 3 times normally, detects the lack of load and decides to flash faster to tell you have a bulb out.

                    I will get a video up of them when I get a chance but I highly recommend them. My insignia now has no incandescent bulbs anywhere inside or out.

                    PS Actually, my front fogs are still 3000k yellow bulbs because I can't find LED that doesn't mess up the beam pattern (i travel a lot in all weathers and find fog lights vital when going through foggy mountains etc) but I plan to replace the whole unit with an LED replacement that I can drop in the reflectors place, it detaches from the housing easily.

                      well....the led indicator bulbs decided show face today.



                      a lot bigger than the standard bulbs


                      passenger side - standard bulb


                      drivers side - led bulb - much brighter

                      fitted both and switched hazards on - superb.


                      but...……...using the normal indicators, bulb warning appears on the screen and then they start flashing faster...………….gutted.

                            Resistors are your only way, I've tried 11 different ones, all, including the ones I ended up using need load resistors.

                            Easy to fit
