Yes, sorry, not been out in the dark yet.........

They are a little bit longer than standard bulbs and just fit.

I took a before picture in January when I was trying to get led bulbs in. Will try and get the car in the same place later and do an after pic.

Look brighter visually though, which is a good start.

2 bulbs were received using the amazon link I posted earlier. 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Here are my pics with the bulbs from the above amazon link fitted ;

Not sure the camera does them justice.

There were about 4 months between the pics, so it could be a spot the difference.......

Going from two 6w to two 21w for less than £8 is not bad in my book.

might be a good idea to keep an eye on the lenses just to make sure the bulbs dont get to hot and melt them.. ... - .- -.

Good point Stan.

By definition, the bulbs are closer to the lenses and will generate more heat than the standard ones.

Figured they won't be on for that long at a time...... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

true, reversing will only take around 10 seconds or so ,so heat build up should be minimal.. ... - .- -.

Nice one. I agree that heat build up risk should not be an issue. I will order a set too. Tom

So you are making it brighter so you can tint it darker ?

Seriously though, will that setup give you the same amount of light as the standard bulbs, after you tint the lights, if you see what I mean ? 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Similar point to above... I looked at my reverse lights in the dark the other night and they work like a headlight... I.e. the bulb reflects off the reflector... Your LED's would need to be 10x brighter than the originals as they do not use the reflectors... Ill be very interested to see how yours work Thumbs Up
