Ive been looking also as I hate the candle power look.

I struggled to find anything that looked half decent and was bright enough in a H3 bulb.

I've coded out the error checks for those bulbs and unplugged them until I find suitable bulbs.

Yeah I want LED, most seem to be either low power or not CANBUS compatible.

I have looked at those. But I was comparing the power with my LED Angel eye bulbs which are 24W each and these are only 5W so thought they would be quite dull.

May be worth a punt for that price though.

Yeh thing is its a different type of light as its 1 solid light instead of trying to light 2 rings it might be ok

That's great! What angel eyes are you running so we can compare when you get pictures?

That's a bit poor. Hopefully you get some error free ones. What did they look like despite the error. I don't mind leaving my error message for those bulbs coded out.

The ones on the right, the resistors they sent me a link for require you cutting wires etc By the looks of it, have asked for more info or i will just get a refund
