Which are the Best LED light bulbs for side turn signals(both in the front headlamps and on the sides!) and front running light(one above the fog light down the bumper)?

Want to replace an LED bulb instead of that incandescent light bulb in front

btw I remembered reading about LED daylight driving lights once but couldn't find that thread anymore.

Pictures are greatly appreciated! looking forward to a pure white color.

Thanks!

 

You might want to look under Modifications, Electrical in the Countryman forums - this has been an active conversation for some time:

Yes. Please read the thread that ghamma posted the link to. Also, remember that LEDs don't draw the current that incandescent lamps do. Unfortunately, the MINI FRM module "thinks" that the reduced current draw means that the lamp is burned out and issues warnings that a bulb is out. So, you need to fool the module by doing either of the following:

1) wire a resister into the circuit;

or

2) code-out the FRM module's cold and warm lamp checks using the NCS Expert program.

I took the latter approach. More info at the aforementioned link.

HTH,

 

woah, really interested but it seems that you need resistors or coding right?

How about bulbs with resistors built into them, which ones are recommended?

thanks

 

Right, resistors or coding.

I'm not sure that I have seen any wedge-based bulbs with the resistors built in. I know they make them for the SMD 1156 and 1157 types. Your best bet is to ask your questions in the LED bulbs thread -- lots of very helpful LED posts and folks in that thread.

HTH,
