harleyhv Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Replaced the miror courtesy light bulbs with LED T10 (4 FLUX) bought on ebay:http://cgi.ebay.ca/2-Bulbs-LED-T10-158-194...A1%7C240%3A1318Now when I activate the courtesy light from the keyfob, the LEDS in both mirors only flash once and then nothing.Cleaned up the contacts and still the same behavior....I'm using the same LEDS for my licence plate with no problem side...What could this be?Any Idea?

TFIVEM Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 i wonder if its because they would normally fade on... and the LED want to switch to directly on and are only getting a splash of power and thats it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Could be due to the lower power consumption of the LEDs versus the bulbs that were in there before. That would really be the only logical explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harleyhv Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 ThanksLiquidKernel => It's probably that indeed or I did not clean up the contacts correctly. I'll compare the original bulbs from the licence plate to the ones for the mirrors. TFIVEM => if i remember correctly, the mirror courtesy lights (bulb) were on as long as I did not press again the yellow button on the keyfob.

TurboS60 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I tried this once and I dont think it worked with the LED. You can use an xenon halogen bulb though for the white light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use an xenon halogen bulb though for the white light.You are probably right.Now I have a weird behavior.... Driver side works sometimes and flashes other times.... Passenger side only flashes... hmmm any source for the "xenon halogene bulb"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
