superb Damo's Superb : Project Ginormica (aka Susan)

[Wardy]

Give it a few weeks Mark....

 

[Damo]

Your hilarious you two lol

[octimark]

Damo's worse than me

 

I've kept the last one for 3 years, that's a new record for me

 

Don't even get Richard started on how many cars he's had

[Leon-y-k]

I think we are all as bad as each other! :P 

[Damo]

These little beauties arrived in the post today

 

 

 

Get them in over the weekend when hopefully its stopped raining 

[octimark]

Get some before's and afters if you can Damo. Have fun.

[Damo]

Will do Mark

[Leon-y-k]

Do they need coding or anything? I've got led front side lights that came with the car when I bought it.

Not from what I've read on here Leon

 

JakeBlade has them and he never said they did anyway 

[Damo]

Well, got the bulbs fitted.

 

Must say, its not as hard to do as I feared, although the space is limited to get your fingers in.

 

I used a mirror to see, and once you know where the bulb holder is, you can do it blind.

 

The passenger side came out fine, the driver side I used a pair of pliers to gently grasp the bulb holder and with a slight wiggling it came out.

 

Took a picture last night, and will take a comparison one tonight and pop them up to show the difference.

 

So far no bulb warning lights, but time will tell. Fingers crossed anyway

[Damo]

Ok, here are the pics as promised...

 

 

Before

 

 

After

 

 

 

No better from a lighting perspective obviously, but from a cosmetic point of view a huge improvement

 

Very happy with them

[Gizmo]

Much better

Just the fogs and DRL's to do now.... Unless I missed them.

[ChrisRs]

The DRLs are horribly yellow on Wayne's Superb...I suspect yours are the same

What bulb and how do you fit them?

[Gizmo]

P21W's, pop the grill out next to the light (squeeze the centre two fins together - the side near the middle of the car) and flip the light out.

All covered in the handbook.

[vrsadz]

nice lights there damo look nice and cool

[Wardy]

Decent result Damo. Where did you order them from?

[Damo]

Just an ebay seller Steve

Came all the way from China, and only a fiver for 10!

[Damo]

Yes Chris, the DRL's are horribly yellow indeed :(

I read a few threads on here about DRL upgrades not working out for people

[Damo]

Much better

Just the fogs and DRL's to do now.... Unless I missed them.

Link to the exact ones I should get fella?

[Damo]

Thinking of getting these for the DRL's

 

 

 

ILOVEMYSUPERB has got them, and Ive PM'd him to see if they are still working fine with no bulb out warning

[ChrisRs]

Try the Cree version instead...They are brighter and better made

[Gizmo]

Mine are a couple of years old now so the links no longer work, 

 

I bought the type you posted above first and they lasted just 12 months and were better than the std ones... but NOWHERE near as good as the CREE ones I replaced them with, get CREE bulbs that have a few SMD (LED) around the outside edge as well - these will held illuminate the reflector inside the light.

 

As previously posted these are what I have fitted:

[Damo]

Ha, forgot you'd already posted that...

 

And in my thread as well 

[Damo]

Been looking on ebay, SO many cree P21W bulbs to go for...

 

These look ok to me > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/382-P21W-WHITE-30W-XBD-CREE-SMD-6-5W-CANBUS-LED-EXTREME-BRIGHT-LED-/370890384933?_trksid=p2054897.l4275

 

Can anyone confirm any which definitely work fine with no probs/blinking

 

TIA

I've got LED side lights too, they are a perfect match.
