Let me know what they are like Andy.
I've been told they are brighter, faster to come on and fail much less often, so much safer in preventing rear end shunts.

I've also been told that they use very little power.
But that some of the newer electronic management systems can't deal with it and keep advising that the bulbs have blown when they haven't. :roll:

Bought some for the white car but haven't tested them yet.

You can buy them in all shapes/sizes/fitments from Maccess (see members area).

They are around £3 each.
