Rear brake light bulbs?

dirtychinchilla · Mar 2, 2014

Afternoon all,

I need to replace my rear brake bulbs, but want to use LED bulbs. I don't want to order the wrong thing, so can anyone advise me, as this is a slight minefield for me.

They are not CANBUS and will throw up errors due to incorrect watts. They will flash like a strobe!! Make sure you buy ones with the proper resistance.

Thanks for the response. Have you got any idea how to get the right one??

Look for CANBUS or error free versions. Make sure you get the right type, 380(dual filament type) or 382(single filament). My facelift 8L takes 380 style. Although LEDs dont have filaments the bayonet pin layouts are different.

Thanks a lot man. These look like the right kind to me (also have the facelift)

Just send T8UPS a message on here, he will be able to provide you with the exact lights you need.

I would like to, but from what I've seen, he's rather expensive. I've ordered those bulbs so shall see how they go. I guess having one trusted source would be good though.
