    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


    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
    NIGHTEYE H7 LED Headlight Kit 70W 30000LM 6500K Super Bright Canbus No Error Hi-Lo Beam IP68. No glare to oncoming vehicles and drivers, making it safer to drive at night. -Extended Lifespan: Fanless design, no fan noise and fan failure.





    I also have changed the rear fog lamp but I can’t find the link. I will repost this later
    Sorry to dig this post up again,

    How did you install the reversing lights?

    I’ve done one side which is fine though the drivers side reverse light has a really tight cable and I can’t undo the bulb holder. Any idea on how to disconnect the light from the main loom?

    Thanks,

    Jake

      Hi Jake,

      I had the same issue with the cables. I did not release the loom. I managed to just about get enough slack to release the bulb with persistence. I was worried I would break the cable but I got away with it.

      Sorry not much help really.

        Little bit at a time, mine where tight also, but they do come out, just don't be impatient.

                I might invest in some of those. Mine keep going green around the edges.

                  I don't know if anybodies interested, but I promised to do a review. So...

                  The packaging was very disappointing. Here is a comparison to the packaging of the bulbs I have bought to my low beams:

                  The quality is... not a great one:

                  This is how they look like (the right one is halogen, the left is this LED. I got to say the position of LED in the lamp is not correct. I spotted that later):

                  So the minuses are:
                  1. The packaging is very disappointing;
                  2. The quality is not on a great level;

                  Pluses:
                  1. They do work;
                  2. The color of the light matches my low beams;
                  3. They're much brighter than halogens;
                  4. They are very cheap.

                  I would not recommend those for low beams as they're much thicker (the distance between leds on both sides of the bulb is quite big) so I doubt they they would focus the light where it should and it can annoy other drivers.

                        I tried them out yesterday and I got to say they are very bright.

                          That's all that matters on high beam. Light the road!

                            I have the same bulbs but they've just been removed becasue when they are in, the rear view mirror doesn't automatically dim any more! Go back to the original halogebn and it's fine.

                                Installed LED’s with resistors etc.

                                Still getting a right / left beam failure. Any ideas?
