New LED Indicators - opinions please
russbost - 9/11/09 at 02:39 PM

Hi Guys

Would appreciate some opinions please, I have been offered these new LED indicators, which also contain front sidelamps & rear sidelamps & stoplamps - in other words everything you need other than headlamps & side repeaters. They would retail @ £39.95 a pair, £74.95 a set of 4.
They are "E" marked E11 & appear very good quality, not sure how realistically they could be fitted to the rear of a 7 tho'.

They are plastic housings, mount with a 8mm thread - the stem is 40mm, the lens measures 55 x 35mm.

Opinions & any comments please - they seemed like a good idea to me as they deal with all the "bitty" parts of the lighting in one hit - I shall almost certainly be stocking them anyway for the new Furore F1

They look good to me and in terms of value for money they seem good if they meet all the rear lighting requirements (fog..?).

I would have thought they would me OK mounted on either side of the rear tub of a 7 type car, but would look a little odd (IMHO).

They might also be considered a little too small for the rear lighting as well.

would make nice marker lights on a trailer..

maybe a bit expensive for that though..

will you have a working set at exeter....

Yes, I'm intending to take a set to Exeter either on the car (if I have time) or separately to demo.

ignore me and carry on.

" also contain front sidelamps & rear sidelamps & stoplamps - in other words everything you need other than headlamps & side repeaters."

Glad it wasn't me had to point that out

Am I wrong?

First bear in mind these are LED not ordinary bulbs - can you buy a pair of front sidelights, 4 x indicators, a pair of rear sidelights with brakelights & have significant change out of £75 all in LED & all in one neat & stylish package - if so can someone please point me in the right direction?

Liking the LED's and dual functionality fronts ( I only want sidelight to pass the IVA, never use them)

Not sure Id trust them to stop some dozer running into the back of me though!

You could always supplement with a high level rear brake light!
