Hi mate they might have just been a faulty batch, but Argo are pretty good and refunded me with no issues.
I ended up buying some more that have only lasted 11 months so I’ve bought some more expensive ones from Lush lighting in case it’s a case of you get what you pay for
Let us know how you get on with them when they arrive and make sure they’re a tight fit in the bulb holder so they don’t drop into the light unit

Do all the above need resistors for the J 5 door? Wanna get rid of the standard bulb, got some error free ones off fleabay and up with a bulb check message straight away.

HI ALL

Is there actually any Led DRL's that don't need resistors?
Thanks
