I've had no issues with the amazon ones, but the link says they are currently unavailable, so the choice may be simpler now.....

Thanks Mark, you'll do for me.

I've asked AF if they've got anywhere with LED options and a reply is pending although I've noticed CTC has today made an observation about small margins for error and reverse bulbs being ineffective if not seated spot on.

Following A11EXU's example...fitted a set of LED's inside the reverse light cluster...30 minutes work and easily put back to standard if required.

Day and Night shots...certainly seems brighter

Scottyav...No warnings for the ones I purchased....I got 2 sets of these (2 units side by side in each cluster)>>

You have to cut (or dare I say it, scotch-lock) into the wires as these don't have the bayonet adapter which would have been easier.

I'm loving your work Paul....

A few questions if I may though....

As they're as bright as they are, will 1 strip in each housing suffice?
Does the black surround look like it can be painted white (or silver to not stand out).
How come they don't have to be CanBus?
Has anybody come up with a simple CanBus LED replacment bulb without having to undero any chopping / splicing / etc. etc. etc.......?

Any recommendations on a suitable LED number plate light replacement - that's not much brighter than the original?

SS...Yes, thats a great idea..wish I had done that Big Cry

You will still be able to see the yellow COB led through anyway, but the chassis of the unit would look better whited out. I have 3M tape on mine so it covers some of the black.

I didn't get any errors come up using these unit (is the reverse on canbus system?) but time will tell.

I had some LED units on the front fogs before, and as the units aged, the error came up, so I just turned HOT/COLD monitoring to OFF on those lights using the IID tool ,so the error went off.

Advanced Factors (site sponsor) now do a range of LED bulbs, so check them out for the number plate light, then you can "illuminate" us all with that information Thumbs Up

Appreciate that Paul

Would 1 strip suffice on each side?

Heated the light units over the cooker flame and the lens prised away easily tbh, stuck two pads in each lamp re sealed the lens back with a good crystal silicone pulled wires out of the back and they come with all attachments to put in any holder so no need to butcher anything, put reverse in looked bright so couldn't wait till later when I came back so took a few pics of the brightness now and looks fine to me the bottom ones like daylight and it's really dark here at 10-45pm lol 😎😎😎
I used two of these for each side off eBay 😋 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390856018367?_tr...EBIDX%3AIT

That looks impressive.

Mine have been in ages, as you can see by my previous posts, but I've still not reversed in the dark with them properly yet...... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Nice job....Can you see the LEDs thru the lens when off Scottyav? or did you find a fix to that?
