The regular incandescent festoons, having tungsten filaments possess such a slow thermal response to a dirty switch/current fluctuation that you would never see flicker. The LEDs however, are full off/on in under 20ms. That's why the fault becomes noticeable, but only when reading with the...

Q1 - Disks were how much? ..and from where? Will look further on in this thread if already posted (Taken me 2 days to read this far!!)
Q2 Have you looked on Aliexpress for the RS style Fog grills? I think they set my car off really nice, plus - you can drill and file out as many of the hexagons...
I can report further, that over the past 5-6 years I've now had LED DRLs, Indicators, and aftermkt HID Dipped beam: I have had around 10 spurious "bulb out" warnings, most for the DRLs, acouple for the HID. These all reset on the next power cycle with the ign key and have not occurred...
So.....! they didnt look as bright as a std 21w but alone difficult to tell. LEDs will only get better with time. Now its 2021, If anyone has bought and tested a newer PH24WY amber LED and found it to be as bright as a Std 21w incandescent bulb, then please post a link.
May I ask..At max Hp and just prior to spool-up are you getting much smoke?
I ask because my tuner (Corten Miller) did 40miles of dyno running on my stock CAPA motor (with exception of DPF gutted) to give me 274 from stock 236 bhp with just the slightest haze at max Hp. He said that if he took...
I found that this little unit can torque itself open cct. I found one of the contacts to the motor had pulled out. A careful prise open and a rebuild with a little araldite or epoxy putty in the right place stops this happening again. I also refitted the liner and resealed the slits with a...
If it helps, it seems that despite a significant reduction in supply current (around 2/3 less in my case) the monitoring system has not given a warning. Nor did it warn when I replaced the indicators with LEDs too.
Re - the DRLS blogged earlier up there.
Around the same time as you were experimenting.I did the same and the crisp clean white light transforms the look of the lamps.
So then I searched around for indicator lamps. Despite one nice chinese chap fitting PH24W bases to a set of his 80w (16 x 5w)...
Did you get any results?
My EGR Intercooler leaked coolant into the inlet tract, which then just ends up being vapourised in the cylinders and exits the exhaust as water vapour. The leak rate was about 1/4 litre in per 250miles, so there were no visible signs except for the header tank level...
