They are a very Good and a Well Made Light Unit that are Plug and Play the fit is Perfect and they are Error Free. Start by fitting the Load Resisters Plug them into the Light units. STEP ONE......... Remove the old Light Units from the car by Pushing back the Clip and Pricing the old Light Units out. Undo the Connectors from the old Light Units. STEP TWO........... Now you have the old Light Units out Remove the Bulb by Twisting them out and Remove the Bulbs and Connect the new SMD LED Light Units to them. STEP THREE......... Connect the new Connector on the new Light Units back on to the Connectors on the car and Test that the Light Units work if not Turn the Connector around then it will Work but it should be Red on the new Light unit to Yellow Green on the Connector and Black to Black. STEP FOUR....... There is no Real Need to Glue the Load Resisters to the Light unit as they do get Very Hot and may Melt if you do this Do not glue them to the Bumper they will and can Cures Damage Again They get Very Hot. So the best way is to Zip Tie them up like the in the Picture then Simply Push them in too the Hole for the Light Units and Refit the Light Units back in place then get Under the Bumper and Pull the Load Resisters Down then they will Just Hang from the back of the Bumper in the Air They will not move about Much and they will not be Touching Anything. RESULTS....... The results are Amazing And they are so much Better than the Standard Light Units they are Super Bright and there will be no Canbus Errors. Absolute first class Product and i Highly Recommend them SMD LED Light Units i love them.

How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - Cameron UK - 17:th-Jun-2014 LiamTurner Wrote:How do you remove the other section that's connected to the body of the car not the boot? Behind the light from inside the boot you need to open the flap and there are 2 butterfly bolts you undo with your hands, don't drop them, then gently pull the light out, there are 2 clips that hold it in place How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - Rusty2009 - 17:th-Jun-2014 LiamTurner Wrote:How do you remove the other section that's connected to the body of the car not the boot?

How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - tucpal - 25:th-Feb-2015 the led ones fit the Astra h j and the insignia but i does not list the estate You could modify the origanl lamp to hold a LED bulb and add a load resister How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - Rusty2009 - 25:th-Feb-2015 I would look on eBay for a cheap unit from a 5 door and try it out if it fits then buy the LED ones Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - tucpal - 25:th-Feb-2015 you could add two LED bulbs http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-T10-CANBUS-5630-6-SMD-LED-ERROR-FREE-501-194-W5W-Car-Side-Wedge-Light-Bulb-/301486216066?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4631fa9382 and two in line led loads resisters they just plug in to the origanl light connectors and then put the bulb in the other end and plug them into the origanl number plate unit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/T10-W5W-501-LED-Error-Canceller-Canbus-Free-Wiring-Adapter-/201294048395?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2ede0f6c8b you would need to mount the load resisters to something metal and not plastic if you mount them on top of the light units but use a metal plate on top and use heat resistant boning glue you may have to slightly modify the hole for the bulb that will depend on the bulb fitment How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - WhelanUK - 25:th-Feb-2015 Couldn't you just measure the dimensions of your current one and we can compare to ours?

Now why didn't I think of that good shout mate. How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - sheppy1 - 16:th-Apr-2015 Was looking to just get some of the SMD LED bulbs instead of the fancy, very bright ones used in the tutorial but just wondering why a load resistor is needed? Nvm, think I know why now. Would flicker from what I can tell if it didn't have the load resistor in place. May have to look into getting some of these to complete my led conversion RE: How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - WhelanUK - 16:th-Apr-2015 They would bring errors up mate. RE: How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - tucpal - 16:th-Apr-2015 as above the ones in the post only cost £10 ish and are plug and play error free and they also look fantastic RE: How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - sheppy1 - 16:th-Apr-2015 Thanks guys, and yeah they do look really good! Very bright though...are they legal? ha RE: How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - tucpal - 16:th-Apr-2015 never had a problem plenty of times the old bill has been behind me and no problems at all RE: How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - WhelanUK - 16:th-Apr-2015 Never had a problem either. Don't think the police could ever say the number plate is not illuminated enough haha How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - sheppy1 - 16:th-Apr-2015 Hahaha yeah, would just say that to them if they pulled me over...that it can never be too well illuminated lol. Thanks then guys, I'll get some next month they're £16 but do look pretty good RE: How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - tucpal - 16:th-Apr-2015 who was after ones for a sports wagon astra j just came across this but ask the seller first http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281620606642?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT RE: How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - sheppy1 - 18:th-Apr-2015 No one had any issues with the load resistors just dangling there behind the bumper then? RE: How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - WhelanUK - 18:th-Apr-2015 No issues, cable tied them and they just dangle behind the bumper How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - sheppy1 - 18:th-Apr-2015 Fair enough!

Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - Tonto - 4:th-Oct-2015 Maybe move the cable tie closer to the connectors so it hangs a little lower and misses top of bar?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - sheppy1 - 4:th-Oct-2015 It was already dangling just below it. Have pulled it down a bit further. See how we get on with that lol Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk RE: How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - Jj0063 - 5:th-Feb-2016 Just fitted these, ordered from the link but I'm still getting errors. Bugger. Maybe a duff resistor? I'll have to email them. RE: How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - tucpal - 5:th-Feb-2016 i would say so check the wires are the right way first RE: How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - sheppy1 - 5:th-Feb-2016 Yep I got the same error with the ones from the link... I've had to remove them anyway to make way for my reverse cam so ordered a set of the Canbus error free bulbs instead... That just slot into the current holder... I mean the ones here give me errors so may aswell give them a try eh even if they don't work Sent from my XT1092 using Tapatalk RE: How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - tucpal - 5:th-Feb-2016 Ok lads something has obviously changed with the product in the link so I will remove it from the forum it sounds like they are using a lower wattage load resistor as that will not fool the canbus if anyone finds a working link can they post It on here thanks RE: How-to Led Number Plate Lamps - sheppy1 - 5:th-Feb-2016 Yeah they use a black resistor block now rather than the silver one which must be a lower power one or something [PENSIVE FACE] Sent from my XT1092 using Tapatalk |
