Anyone know where i could find a replacement led for my halo's shown in the rubbish quality picture (thanks old iphone) below?
Ask at halfrauds and no one had even seen one before, annoyingly my mot went south because this didnt work (sidelights) and my drop links were gone, so if i cant find a replacement im gonna have to slap on my old standards lights just to get a pass. Any help would be great as ebay was a loss.

I'd replace the lot! You will find that the newer one once installed will be a different shade to the rest

They'll need a resistor or they'll blow. Tbh they all need a resistor as the bulbs can't take the 14v the car produces on start up.

You need to desolder the LED's and replace.
I've just done some for a member on here the other month.

bit late for desoldering, one of the arms was pretty loose and has snapped off anyway.
And Paul, that's awesome, id pretty much given up hope of finding something to replace it, after sifting through pages of LED's for halo's the closest seemed to be the bmw halo replacements. I'll get some posted now and see if they do the job. Cheers.
