Put mine on around end of Sept and one has failed so a replacement is in the post.

Today we have had two reported failures of the new model 15W bright front sidelight, one of them straight out of the packet.
Hopefully these are our first and last and not a sign of things to come, we have sold a lot with good feedback from owners but I will wire a few up on a test rig here to see if I can get them to fail under constant heat.
The people we buy them from take the QC seriously and they will react to feedback so if anyone else gets a duffer talk to me about a replacement rather than bin it, I need to know, we do honour our warranty period!Paul Redding

Yeah, but three out of four of the bulbs worked.
They are bright! The front lens directs the light like a torch beam, with the other side LEDs directing sideways. Pleased with them, (even if one didn't work).
But have to say, I tried them last night, emailed this morning to say one didn't work, and an email was sent straight back saying another was in the post. Great stuff. Thanks
Regards
Steve

I was thinking earlier that I need some of these bright side light bulbs.
Just found a pair in the cupboard that I ordered months ago My D3 Build Thread

Just ordered a set of the "you can't bend it super duper mega scare next doors cat" led sidelights. And while I was at it I have ordered new led indicator bulbs and resistors. Can't wait to see what they are like compared to the eBay cheap crap I've got at the moment. Jarrod

Thanks very much for the speedy delivery of the bulbs, ordered late Wednesday evening and dispatched email received at 7:30 Thursday morning
Thankfully I managed to avoid embarrassing myself by calling to say you'd sent 9 packs of the same bulb type, but on closer inspection although the packaging is the same the bulbs are different! Andy

Mine turned up today. Super fast delivery. Can't wait to fit them. Can someone tell me where's the best place to slave the resistors in for the led front indicators. I've bought the ones from AF I'm just not sure where the best location for them is. Do they get hot ?Jarrod

Replacement bulb fitted to day...normal super bright service resumed.
Another (belated) for the sidelights. Fitted them to the TeamGoatRiders Freelander back in early October and 8) 8) 8)I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Picked-up a set of these on Friday afternoon. They are great! Perfect match for my D3's xenon headlamps and much brighter than the previous sidelight LEDs I had in there.
I originally bought them to go in SWMBO's MINI but it kept throwing a bulb out warning on the dash. So I had to fit them to my D3 instead...
I guess I need some CANBUS ones for the MINI. Do you do those as well, Steve?

You might just have to buy more to see if they suit the Mini. Lots more places you can put them on your D3.

Just ordered these reverse lamps for the D4 as although the reversing camera really helps, I do struggle using the wing mirrors in the dark.
One thing I really wish my early D4 did have is puddle lights in the wing mirrors, cant be helped I suppose.
