[berlingo power]

ive had 4 pairs of led side light they blow within a few days so ive given up now gone back to normal bulbs if you find good led bulbs let me know.

Me too. I've tried several sets and they've all gone in no time. That's not to say that normal ones last any longer, but they are cheaper.

I have had 2 sets of LED 501; one of them melted!
Now gone to the blue tinted, xenon, glass, ordinary, filament type.
They are excellent. Loads brighter than standard and whiter light.
About 99p a pair off fleabay.

The problem is,LED bulbs don't like a lot of heat,and when you have the headlights on there's a fair amount of heat generated within the glass.

Hi Guys i attempted to do them this evening in the dark at it was a lot easier than i thought and only took 5 minutes like muply said but i couldnt have done it so quick without all your help.

I did find the near side a liitle harder because of fuse box and all other wiring but never the less the task is complete now and i have added a picture to show the led bulbs although it is dark and you cant see much. Also in relation to you guys suggesting they wont last long all i can say is i hope they do as i dont want to replace them in a hurry, the ones i have a 9 smd type led an i have had them before in a renault scenic i had and they lasted 2 years and was still working when got rid of car so i hope these last as long

thanks again for your help everyone.

Glad I found this, my offside dip has gone so went to Halfords and got a pair of new bulbs then spent about 20 minutes in their car park struggling to locate the blown bulb to remove it!

Eventually I gave up, been searching online for some hints so now I know I was right in thinking it’s the 2 wires in the headlamp enclosure but the bulb is blind to sight.

I’ll give it another go now I’ve read some topics on it but if I struggle I’ll go buy another pair of bulbs and pay Halfords to do it for me with the fitting service that they offer for about £6 ?
