ok super , and they can be used in the wing mirror puddle lights ?; and no need to stick the original bulb in the other end of the holder

Yep, fit into the mirror puddle lights and no need to mess about with resistors or old bulbs etc. Surprisingly bright too

those ebay ones work well....  ... - .- -.

thanks matty and stan; i will try them; but i like the blue so hopefully they do them too ;

im always so impressed with the speed you guys answer the posts;

as i said before, joining this forum was the next best thing to actually buying the range

I can't take the credit for the bulbs, I bought them from advice off another member...

But totally agree, fantastic forum indeed

Resurrecting this 7 year old thread to confirm wiring the old filament bulb in parallel on ONE side, with a resistor and LED from powerfulUK on the other side WORKS. 2007 S/C 4.2. LEDs now on approach / wing mirror lights both sides working great.

I've soldered SO badly and added electrical tape and god knows how I'll get it off when the filament bulb dies but thanks all for the advice!

Another tip I saw elsewhere was wiring the approach bulbs to the interior lights at the base of the door, but this was too fiddly for me. L322 2007 S/C 4.2L
