Reversing LED (CREE)

[Martin]

Continuing my war against globes, having replaced the interior and boot lights with LED's and yet to install my LED fog lights, I decided to try some bright LED/CREE reversing lights - they are really bright and project backwards very well - nice crystal white colour too

Unfortunately they are not canbus bulbs - have to grab another set



(I have not installed LED's behind red lenses as it looks odd - colour wise)

maybe try red LEDs for the brake?

I believe kamold has installed LED lighting almost everywhere in his car. perhaps check with him the brands and where he got his LEDs

Good idea - thanks heaps!

and then come back and tell the rest of us :p

The reverse globes in the SKODA are weak, and the low beam is renowned for yellow.
Itwould be nice to have better lighting inside too....

dark window tinting doesn't help the reverse lights either

might take a run to jaycar this weekend

I'm waiting for someone to find some working LED indicators...

Either that or I'm going to hard wire in some resistors!

Not sure if the indicator bulbs in the Octy are the same as the Golf, but Bold Sport have some LED front and rear indicator globes for the Golf. They are about $40 each (pair).

Im thinking of buying some. A few guys with Golf's are using them on another forum with no issues (no Canbus errors etc).

There is also someone on ebay selling LED reverse lights that i have been thinking of trying. Not sure about canbus though: 1156 SMD projector cree white LED bulb/globe for VW Golf R,R32,reverse lights 5M | eBay

I sent a message to the ebay seller for the LED reverse lights and he said they work with no error and will refund if i have any problems.

im happy if you take the risk and then tell us how good they are

Hey.

I'm not 100% sure those LED's will fit the Octy... I know the rear indicator is a bog standard bayonet cap (same as brake) not the T20 wedge.
Pretty sure the front is the same unit.
