EP3 LED H1 Cob bulb

[Fairley_46]

Hi struggling to find some LED H1 bulbs that would fit 2004 face lift type R, can anyone advise if they have used these before? I have already bought some H1 bulbs (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400717475941?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648), as you can see from the photo there is no way it will fit through the small hole into the projector.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141331116335?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 - These are now the ones i am thinking of getting

Kind Regards

Andrew

I have h1 osram nightbreaker plus or unlimited
the lastest ones, they have a blue tint. Much brighter

I've bought a 6000k hid kit off eBay. Arrived yesterday. Needs fitting now. Have you put any led lights in the rear?

Other than led side lights and number plate i stick to osram bulbs and nightbreakers.
I found leds not to be as bright in previous cars, i have got loads but never fit them anymore

I bought 2 sets now. None off them are doing what they should. Like the dual filament bulb it should be rear light and brake light. I put it in and it only acts as a brake light. Ffs!!!!

Smd bulbs will prob be ok but unless there a china special there quite expensive

 

[Fairley_46]

That's what they are. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=291054220928

Even the seller said they would act the same as the dual filament.

There the ones for the job. Strange how there not working properly. Have you emailed the seller

 

[Fairley_46]

Yeah. Asked what car I had. I've told him and sent him a few photos. Just waiting for a reply now.

It might be something to do with the relay due to the drop in voltage.
Just remebered.
I put led amber indicators on the front and they flashed super quick,
i bought a led relay and now there fine.
But id of thought you would get a light instead of nothing

Looking the the above pic I am also worried that the h1 hid kit wont fit now ha.

 

[Fairley_46]

The light works when I brake. But not when lights are on.

The hids are a common swap so should be straight forward.
The clip might be a pain as the back of the bulbs are bigger.
If you change the h7s you have to modify the holders.

Yeah it makes no sense, its better as less draw of current but that might be what it doesnt like and cuts the circuit.
we need a honda electrical wizz who knows the setup.

The indicator relay is setup to the draw on flashes, so when i put a led in it drew less so flashed quicker.
But with constant on lights it surely would make no difference
