Make sure the advert states suitable for cars with bulb failure sensing or that they are fitted with resistors to fool the bulb failure sensing otherwise you'll need to modify them yourself.

Found these canbus ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1156-BAU15...item48416f472a

I have bought LED bulbsfrom Here before delivery free and delivered in under a week.
Without the mark up.

Must say this one looks the best. I would use the 24 led "sealed" units for the back, as apposed the "layered", baynet type.

I also think I was wrong about the brakes lights as our cars have brake/park units, and I do not see a replacement part for that.

There is however both front (H type)and back fog light globes- We can go into competition with the Corsa's and other boy racers.

Which ones.? How do you put in a resistor..

Just get canbus one's Poppy,no bother then.You can get led's with built in resistors,depends what you want to pay really.

The reverse one's are just non canbus,never had any prob with them.
