LED Indicators for early headlights?

[les5709]

Hi All,

Has anyone ever put LED indicators into the early noble (2.5/GTO - old style headlights)

I bought the below but not working at all...

As with any standard bulb, I had to remove one of the offset contacts to make it fit, but nothing.

Anyone have any links to ones that they have bought previously please?

Thanks
Steve

Tux has done something similar,bet he'll be along soon......

I did and they didn't work as the resistance is wrong and they mess the system up. You need to add a resistor or buy the right ones.

Sorry, just re read post.

There are no indicators in the GTO style head lights. I assume you just mean in the indicators.

I tried them all round and they flashed but very slow and messed circuit up.

Sorry yeah, I just mean front indicators on the front CAM. I am putting the headlight covers/indicator covers on so just want to upgrade so not to have to cut the indicator cover out anytime soon to change a bulb.

Did mine last weekend. Moved the indicator fittings to the inside of the clam (I can now get to the bulb without removing the lens) and substituted an LED bulb. I had the same problem, the LED indicator bulb wouldnt work and the flasher relay just went mad. My lad came home, called me a numpty, swapped the 2 wires round and hey presto the LED's work perfectly - I'd gone and bought resistors and all but didn't need any of it.

Fitting the lenses was tricky, but if you follow Paul's instructions and take your time you can get a really tidy finish. Have some brake and clutch cleaner to hand to clean up the Thickaflex as it's a ba$£@rd to get off when it's dried.

Headlight covers and HID kit this weekend.

Thanks for the info and tips for fitting, do you have a link of the LED bulb you bought at all please?

Steve, I believe these are what Tux has:

I think you'll find the stuff is called Sikaflex

I highly recommend http://www.hids4u.co.uk/ if you haven't already bought your HID kit yet. Not the cheapest but very good quality. The ballasts look/feel far more substantial than others I've seen. The difference between the standard bulbs and one of their kits on a 3R really is like night and day!

Hi Steve yep they are the ones



Got all the bits from SVC as suggested

They look great when fitted !!

Hi Tux,

How have you these fitted? Can you remove and replace without having to cut out the front cover?

Thanks
Steve

[TuxMan]

Yes Steve they slide in from the back . Tux

Tux, did you need resistor for these or are they a simple cut original wires and connect to These?

Cheers

[TuxMan]

They were supplied with the resister packs .

Is that all that was needed. No relay etc. have u a pic wired so I can see what u did.

Also
By changing these at the front, did it mess with the flashing speed of the std rears?

Cheers

No relay mate , without the resister pack they flash too fast hence why you have too fit it .

[mgbond]

Any chance of a pic of the wiring. Did it mater what wire goes where. Was the resistor wiring diagram included?

I know it's a old thread but is there some kind of black trim around them .....
