Being as I am going to take part in Howeys group buy for Osram nightbreakers for my front lights, I want the rears to match

heres my shopping list:

Rear/Stop P21/5W
Rear Indicator P21W
Reverse Lights P21W
License Plate W5W
3rd Brake W5W

Is this all correct fitment? My main question is will I need resistors on any of these? Thanks for your time

due to the fact that indicators work on resistance you will need a resistor with those LED indicator bulbs or they will flash too fast (as if you have a bulb out)
Please Dont take any of my posts as written fact. They are simply my opinion and although to the best of my knowledge true, the information within them may well be incorrect.

Any work you undertake as a result of my posts is done so at your own risk Smile

Is it just the indicator that would require a resistor then? If so I will skimp on the indicator lol

Yeah 20 seconds...
Good on you for having a go though.

Yep, nasty crunch! Driveshaft or gearbox.
There was an oil spill right at the end of the track on one of my runs, went over it at 90mph... scary!

19! In twelve months when I can afford to insure it I would like a cat back exhaust, cold intake and a remap and see if with better take off as well i can shave a couple seconds off Smile

Enjoying the VRS then? Smile

If you put the white LED's in behind the red lense they do look a bit pink. I think someone has done it with the third brake light. I'm not sure if standard LED will be bright enough, you could try SMD LED. They are a lot brighter. I'm saving the pennies to buy the P21/5 ones for my rears

I think I'm going to stay standard, too much money and effort with resistors on something that I won't really be looking at for something I am told wont make a difference
