Rear blinkers and reverse lights changing in LED

[Scoozy]

Hello,

Can anyone confirm that the socket we need to use is 7440 to replace the back blinkers and rear lights please?
These are the only bulbs that are not LED so I will change them with LED bulbs.
With this link, you receive 2 white & 2 Amber LED replacement lights

I bought some similar LEDs and they are just too bright for my liking. And they get extremely hot
If I had to do it again I would by the Philips ultinon3100 and put their resistors in line.

But they don't have the white rear lights no?

There could be a problem changing filament stop lamps to LEDs. In the event of an accident, if an investigation is carried out it used to be common practice to check if the stop lamp filaments had fallen away, this happens in a shunt if the brakes where applied at the time (hot filaments fall due to G-force). It used to be an easy way for an investigator to ascertain if the vehicle was braking at the time of impact. I have no idea if this is still the case or perhaps this information is now stored in the ECU thus negating the need for filament lamps.

Just a thought, and possibly the reason why modifications must be notified to insurers.

These are not STOP lamps, Rear lights (white), and blinkers (amber).
