As mentioned previously, I am trying to spruce my Tdi A4 a little. I thought that the fitment of some bright and shiny new replacement bulbs might have been the way forward. A nice crisp 'on/off' of the indicators and brake lights and no more skinning knuckles removing the CD autochanger from the boot to change blown bulbs made me look at LED's. (why do those bulbs on the nearside blow more than on the right?) These replacement bulbs, are infact several led's, instead of the normal tungsten fillament.
I bought a set for approx £25.00 and when delivered, fitted the lights hoping for a dramatic transformation.
WRONG! The bulbs, although the equal wattage, are inferior in every way.
The crispness of the indicators are there but they flash at more than twice the speed of normal and are dimmer in reality than before too. The same is for the brake and side lights and the 'bulb blown' indicator on the dash illuminated at the same time. So back went the correct bulbs.
In all, if you are thinking of fitting these to your car, DONT!
Anyone want to buy a set of led bulbs?? :aargh4: :aargh4: :aargh4: :Blush2: :Blush2: :Blush2:
