The site highly reliable. I bought three products from them before. 7 days sharp for the delivery from UK.

Kindly keep us updated on the progress.
Cheers

Thanks Naveen. I have been reading about the low amp ratings or usage (I am not sure of the term) of the LEDs that it requires a custom repeater circuit since the LEDs tend to blink much faster than the OE repeaters. Any concern around that or its alright to use without the OE repeater circuit?

Kindly confirm it again. I had only used LED repeaters and for the rear no plates and they said it would be fine. I think this would work out fine but to be on the safer side, just confirm it.

Naveen, I checked with AutobulbsDirect over their FB page and this is what they had to say :D

I guess we are good to place the order now!

Great to hear that. I had that feeling too since these were just LED's. It's good to place the order. Keep us updated buddy.

Hi Arun,

It's really nice to hear that they are plug-n-play. Any idea about the total costs in INR?

It shouldnt be expensive. I had bought few items from them. They are reasonable and have very good collection of lighting products. Best part is that they deliver very quickly.

Great and informative thread but what about those of us who are less technically inclined in these things. Is there anyone who makes Led headlamps, parking lamps, foglamps, rear light clusters and reverse lamps for cars? Say as simple as Jeeps? I would really like to know and get work done for my CJ3B and the MM550. Im not capable enough to do this as a DIY as im not technically inclined with electrics and electronics.

Hi

Check out dealextreme.com - I recently got DRL's - brake light - gear knob from them. At about 1/3rd the price, of accessory shops & decent quality. May not be the best - but VFM

They also sell all kinds of LED "bulbs", for the rear tail lamps, side indicators, parking lights !! Worth checking it out.

Delivery time around 2 weeks

Cheers

hi folks. here is a small circuit i made in my free time. we can term it as 'police lights'.

YouTube - 12072010.mp4

note: this is not a means of disrespecting the law by any means.
for any help, please feel free to PM me.

Hi,

Can you provide the circuit details including the component values. That would really help in assembling the right components and also if possible, please display the circuit in a document. I am planning to install the lights in the bumper. Awesome work done by you....

I found another circuit and this is very helpful. I am buying components to assemble it. I will post pics/video if possible after assembling the same. May take some time as I am loaded with office work. If any one of you do this, please let me know. Also, it is easy to find the schematic diagram of the ICs provided in the diagram to understand the poles description of the ICs. Scroll through the entire page on the link provided below:

LED flasher circuit using 555 IC : simple electronics

I have ordered for 2 LED replacement lights from ebay. Total cost including shipping is Rs.174, each is a 16 LED light. Hoping to get some light inside my old Esteem. The length is 31 mm against the 30 mm of the stock bulbs, I am sure I can squeeze them in. @ gigy, you are the pioneer man (not the stupid stereo), you tried this with your bare hands almost 6 years ago. Hats off.
