Ok I solved my puddle light issue without resistors. If u want that white led look without errors get these http://bit.ly/xg5fjB

Nice one, I might try those as the LED puddle lights are not that bright. Tom

Try turning the ones that don't work 180deg in the holders.
Leds are polarity sensitive.

i found my map lights wouldnt accept leds , [turned 90 degrees as well]

side lights ok tho.. ... - .- -.

Well if ur car is being picky bout LEDs, u can get xenon bulbs, make sure 5000-6000 whiteness at least. They look just as good..

*daveo there is alot of discussion on the correct type of bulb for the approach light/puddle light.

Can you please post an ebay link on here of the exact bulbs you used in your puddle/approach lights on the wing mirrors

hi ,ok these are the resisters http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Range-Aluminium-...1202wt_700

you want the 5w ones.8.2 ohms, remember these get hot so mount them clear of wires ect, i used the bulbs in the 4th pic down on the first page of this thread, there are some similar bulbs that have the resistor built in but have not tried them, V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

So your saying you need resistors for the puddle lamp led bulbs

yes you need to put a load on the circuit as the led dont draw any load..if you dont want to put the resistors on then goe for lolo's option. V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

simon, i have just noticed you have the later mirros, dont think that it makes much difference,can you not fit these ones, they are already loaded

I tried LEDs with built in resistors, they wouldnt work for me in the mirrors, altho everywhere else on the car they do..
