I know a thing or two about road traffic legislation, I’ll take my chances 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only problem with that is even the genuine brand have poor quality plastics, fittings and plugs. At least a complete LED unit is somewhat sealed.

Snagger Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Is the quality of the LED lamp plastic any better? At least the original lamps can have the lenses replaced easily and cheaply. Swings and roundabouts. I like the look of these Chinese LED units, since they look far more similar to the originals than the Wipac or RDX types. But if the amber lenses fade as fast, they’re an expensive option. Joe may have the last laugh if he’s using decent LED “bulbs”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nearly went down the expensive path of DDE military light fittings, new polycarbonate “Sputnik “ lenses and LED globes. I guess the various failures I’ve had with factory lights have pushed me this way. Water in lenses, fittings and plugs. Stop/Tail twin filament globes getting hot and melting the bayonet fittings (lose contact and deform permanently). Poor lighting. UV/sun damage is definitely something here in Australia. So as you say lenses will be the test. Im still considering going a 95mm NAS style for the indicators to emulate the SIII NAS layout. Headlights will be conventional globe . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePointFive Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Does anyone with the Nslumo lights have any further experiences with their reliability and performance? Also keen to see a set on a car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
