Chinese E5 dash bulbs

#1 Post by tony g »

So I bought a set of 10 to replace the lot as I had the dash out waiting for my diode thingy for the indicators. After waiting ages they turned up from supposedly Manchester address and guess what?- They dont fit! I shouldnt be surprised really but there we go. They look right but the thread just wont start in the bulb holder, so Ive put the originals back in now.

Can anyone recommend a place that sells these that are a good bulb ?

Cheers

Hi Tony.......

I have looked at the link you posted on the Indicator/hazard lights thread with a view to purchasing some LEDs.....
http://www.dynamoregulatorconversions.com/
so I take it that they folk don't sell something suitable?


Thanks for the warning about the Mancunium Chinese.

No unfortunately he doesnt do the E5 stuff it seems, shame really as the power consumption is tiny.
The link I posted does nice stuff and apart from the festoon for the interior they just look like normal bulbs, the their festoon led is bright!

This is the Manc chinese link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251443680269? ... EBIDX%3AIT
