#1: LEDs in Phase 2 Rears Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 10:10 am ---- 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
Is this all correct fitment? My main question is will I need resistors on any of these? Thanks for your time
#2: Re: LEDs in Phase 2 Rears Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 10:14 am ---- I'm unsure.
just posting to say I saw you run the 1/4 mile

I watched you towards the end of the day, did you see the lad in the black MG? ouch! Last edited by Andrew on Thu Mar 31, 2011 10:22 am; edited 1 time in total

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
Enjoying the VRS then?

#9: Re: LEDs in Phase 2 Rears Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 11:25 am ---- On which light mikey, reverse and indictor?
#10: Re: LEDs in Phase 2 Rears Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 11:40 am ---- Red LED's mate in tail lights with red lenses
#11: Re: LEDs in Phase 2 Rears Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 11:53 am ---- Has LED's in phase twos been done before? Ive just been told it wont make any noticeable difference
#12: Re: LEDs in Phase 2 Rears Author: Matt, Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 12:39 pm ---- Won't it just make the red bits shine pink lmao.
#13: Re: LEDs in Phase 2 Rears Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 1:01 pm ---- 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
#14: Re: LEDs in Phase 2 Rears Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 1:02 pm ---- 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
#15: Re: LEDs in Phase 2 Rears Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 1:05 pm ---- I've got some white led already, I will try them in the indicators over weekend and see if it makes a difference
