Well after reporting my flickering headlights a few weeks back I have since fixed the problem.

 

Started the car xmas eve and noticed my nearside headlight was out.... so I switched slowly from auto to sidelights and then headlights and no luck.

After playing with on and off a couple of times I got the bulb to ignite and sure enough my "bulb out" warning light switched off so my thoughts went from a dodgy lecky fault to a duff bulb.

 

once warmed up it would come on just fine, and from cold but in the sun the other day it fired up so i started swapping ballasts and bulbs around and it seamed to be that bulb.

I also spotted that it had a "pinkness" to it once lit up  :yes: and after a quick search for pink bulbs in here  :clap: I decided to purchase these buggers

been in two days now and all flickering has stopped and no problems since fitment.

 

and before anyone asks, 6000k is as high as I would go and to be honest they look at very oem. Happy me!

Good result!

 

OEM is 4300K.

Good result!

 

OEM is 4300K.

 

yeah i was gonna stick with 4300K but I have had LED sidelights in for ages and they have always been a tad whiter, but now I match.

 

6000k bulbs fitted with my white led sidelights.

Looks good. Which LEDS are they? The. Few that I've tried never last very long.

cant find exact ones but same as these

done 7 months and around 15,000 miles on mine and no dramas, other than they flash when cranking on startup.
