Myself & several other have changed rear indicator bulbs for LEDs and have no CANBUS problems.I’ve read the MOT rules and the requirement for LEDs to be original fitment in a sealed unit applies to headlamps not indicators.
See section 4.1.4 for a definition of mandatory headlamps, and section 4.4 for requirement for indicators.
So indicators could technically be swapped for LEDs, except they will give CANBUS errors due to the reduced power draw and therefore they require a resistor in line with the light. Which is not a modification im keen on making at the moment.
Each bulb uses 5W, I would say it would meters rather than miles to the range if you were to swap them for LED'sThe interior bulbs for the front passengers are incandescent! Changing them to LEDs probably adds an extra few miles to range. I didn't think it was even legal to fit them to new products...
What LEDs did you fit?Myself & several other have changed rear indicator bulbs for LEDs and have no CANBUS problems.
Every little counts...Each bulb uses 5W, I would say it would meters rather than miles to the range if you were to swap them for LED's![]()
I agree, but it really is little in this example...Every little counts...
9.8 years or if you're on intelligent @ 7.5p, 11.76 yearsUsing John's calculations if you pay approximately 9p/kWh would it then take about 10 years to break even?
