LED Indicators

BoondogUK · 07-09-2013, 05:21 AM

I bought a pair of very nice LED indicators for my new LCI headlights. Installed they looked brilliant and they work giving a really nice look... but they also hyper flash.

I got the from HIDs Direct, and they have been very good... Offering a full refund if I want, or indicating that I could install a 50w load resistor.

Has anyone done this? Looks like I would have to splice the wiring which I am not so keen on. I know Maakan indicated he had heard of this potentially causing issues with the control units (and I am loathe to go against this wisdom!). Is it worth it???

Do people generally accept the ugly fried egg look and run normal PY24w stock bulbs?

Philips Silver Vision or Osram Diadem bulbs will lose the fried egg look

Do they do the Osram in PY24w? I mistakenly bought the Philips in PY21w to do the job, before I got my LCI lights... but they obviously don't fit... I can only see the Osram in the same fitment and the Philips in the correct fitment are £30!!
