Mo Murphy Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Does anyone know of a reliable source of these that a) fit in a standard lamp (not too long) and b) illuminate appropriately ie. Dim on side bright on brake. Cheers Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 We used Chineese ones for a while that did OK but have now changed to full LED units. Being waterproof is a big plus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Murphy Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 I want the bulbs for my drl project using clear stop and tail lamps in place of my side lights. Nakatanenga sell Drl LED side lights but at 70 quid each. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Because of the way an LED works, I don't think you'll find a white LED version of a stop/tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Why Ross, are LED bulbs racist ? 😉 sorted now, good old Halfrauds. Please don't post, anyone, how LED bulbs are illegal etc. I've read it a million times ! But I do have DRLs now. Thanks for your help.

LEDs can come in many colours, as well as white white with varying intensities is not unusual. In theory I see no reason why you could not have a white emitter with 2 circuits of different brightness.However what products someone has chosen to manufacture for generic automotive use may be more limited.

Mo Murphy Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 I don't doubt it, I've used Perei NAS rear lights on mine. I tried the Wipac NAS rear light but found it too directional and I didn't like being able to see the individual LEDs. The Perei lights are more expensive but the gem diffuses the light to make it less directional. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo I think this every time I look at front of 110 with side lights on they are a directional light where as original lights were all over front wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all doable, but my understanding is that LEDs can't be filtered in the same way light from an incandescent lamp can be. So in the case of a stop/tail LED in white, you would not get a very good output if you then put that behind a red lense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job they're going behind a clear lens then Ross 😉👍 Mo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 I'm not a fan, though, of the cold blue white bulb, it doesn't really go with the 90's incandescent headlamps. I wonder if warm white are available ? Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
