R36 parker light replacements?

[jimmy jonkers]

Hi guys,

One of the Parker's in my R36 is starting to fail, just wondering what other people when for with replacements and where from.

I'm using these ones:
Buy Products Online from China Wholesalers at Aliexpress.com (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2X-T10-LED-194-168-W5W-COB-Interior-Bulb-Light-Parking-Backup-Brake-Lamps-Canbus-No/32283192309.html)

They match the DRLs and 6000K HIDs I have installed.
I hate the yellow filament globe look personally.

Yeah i don't personally like the yellow look either.

Gosh I hope that's just the photo exposure and that they're xenon headlights running in projector lenses...!

Yeah just a crappy phone pic unfortunately...
R36s have factory AFS (bendy beam) projector HIDs.
I just added the LED turn/DRLs and the LED parkers.

[dainese]

Oh cool. Thank goodness!

Nice one

Hi kamold,

I ordered some of these to replace my parkers and they arrived today.

The led's measure 3.5cm whereas the globe that's being replaced is 2cm. When I tried to fit the led, it was too long and was pushing against the parker light housing.

Did this happen to you?

Not devo by any means as a very low price for the led's, but am keen to get the right ones.

Cheers

[kamold]

Yes they are longer and do end up well I side the housing. Mine still fit however so I'm happy with them.

Thanks Heinrich R36, I gave the ones I had another go however one came off and almost fell in to the light bulb cavity...a real pain to get it out and took me ages.

Anyway I haven't had a chance to look around for others however I notice you've used a canbus control unit with the phillips globes, how do you install the control unit?

No probs,

The canbus units are very small and come with 3m double sided foam sticky strips to attatch the unit anywhere.

There is actually enough room to mount them inside the rear of the headlight where the access panel covers.

I will take some pics tomorrow to give you an idea how to fit them neatly.

Here is a pic inside the rear of the headlight housing with the canbus unit connected and stuck to the side.

Good fit they were.http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/images/imported/2016/05/4a1d01a511760a6a097fda37343859be-2.jpg
