Have you made sure the LED is sitting tight in its place? If it's a bit loose it tends to flicker. Check that first. Also, what kind of LEDs do you have?

[longers]

Yeah, they're in tight. I don't have any problems with the door lights, but the main interior lights and the two near the sunglass holder tend to flicker. I was wondering if it had anything to do with the power. I bought the leds my superbrightleds.com.

ooh how much were they? They're from the US aren't they?

[actcueuro]

I just fitted mine (all cool white!!!). I got mine from superbrightleds as well...paid about US$110 incl. ems postage. They got here in less than a week! I think they look nice and wifey approves (!). Only small problem I've got is that the vanity ones are slightly thicker than the housing. I've forced it in and it looks okay...but still...I guess the fact that I know they're not the right fit is just bothering me.

Also, @longers: no flicker here mate.

LEDs don't last long on the Euro because of voltage fluctuation from the alternator, especially when the AC kicks in. My average LED bulb life was about 2-4 months with the normal LEDs and about 6-8 months with the superbright LEDs. I've gone to white regular filament bulbs now (came with philips crystalvision)

I use this LED from ebay and it lasts since almost 3 years ago. really bright especially if your interior is beige.

u can get white filament bulbs..? I'd much prefer that.

voltage fluctuation realllly messes up LED's. The other day i blew my parkers because i forgot that they were on when i started the engine

Your car was a Friday special..

hey guys, are the vanity lights the same as the sunvisor lights? also does anyone know the measurements of these?

[Atjo]

It's the same, 31mm.

[euro2009]

It's the same, 31mm.

Anyone know the exact number for the Door/Vanity/map/Boot lid lights from www.suprbrightleds.com

I know Door/Boot T10 5W Wedge Bulb
map/Vanity lights: Festoon Dome 31mm-35mm LED Bulb

but the superbrightleds.com site does not have those number, the one from http://www.superbrightleds.com/mini-wedge.html seems to be the right but I can't be sure as it says T3-1/4 (#194/168) replaces: 194, 158, 168, 12256, 12961

Confused? Thanks in advance
