Less than a pound and still enjoy a huge mark up.
By the way if you are changing the light I suggest not to follow the how to, way too long and troublesome going from inside the boot. I took a flat tip screw driver push on the flat side of the cover (the other side is rounded right) and the cap comes off so easily. Zero chance of breakage. Swap and bulbs, snap on and voila!
#15: Re: rear numberplate light Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Aug 26, 2011 12:38 pm ---- im thinking about the led ones as im gunna get two anyways
#16: Re: rear numberplate light Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Aug 26, 2011 12:40 pm ---- are the ones in the link ok with mux cars and can you get pulled over by the police driving around with only one working
Once you're out in the bulb holder, mux'ed or not makes no difference, it's just plain 12V.
What can matter with LED bulbs is that they draw less current than regular incandescent bulbs, and a light bulb monitoring system can therefore think that the bulb is broken. But AFAIK no 206 has such a system (someone please correct me if that's wrong)
There are LED bulbs that incorporate an extra resistor in parallel, in order to increase the current draw to a level where the monitoring system is happy...
#18: Re: rear numberplate light Author: Ash, Location: Running from Ant and Lee and Adam...........Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2011 5:37 pm ---- They'll be fine in the 206 for side lights, numberplate lights, glovebox (if its the same as interior), interior light and boot light.
