Thanks for the tip! I have now bought (and now waiting for the slow boat from China!) for some 7W versions, will be interesting to see if there is any increase in brightness. I shall use them on the 159 Sportwagon if no real gain. 352bhp+317ftlb/1310Kg=Joy!

Horsing around's a serious business.

Although I've got no use for them, luckily they were not that much to buy. 352bhp+317ftlb/1310Kg=Joy!

I haven't looked on eBay for a Cree version but have a 27 SMD lamp which does light up 20 LEDs on tail and the other 7 on stop. 352bhp+317ftlb/1310Kg=Joy!

I had those and ended up with the Centre brake lights illuminated all the time. Gone back to standard bulbs now Happy

I showed Jame5 the ones I got and they are larger than the ones he ordered from the same place. Originally Posted by Jonny - After being taken out at Spa Your car is Usain Bolt with wellies
