Jaycar sell some that look identical to that. I used a strip on the back of my 50" plasma attached with velcro (they are about A$30) to give me ambiant light .. works a treat connected to a remote control powerpoint :mrgreen:

Don't think the strip is bendable though or suitable for outdoor use... :cool:

Just an update, one of the LEDs burnt out after about 2 months...
I have yet to change grrrr. At least when they are this cheap you don't feel too bad - too bad they are such a hassle to replace.

Thanks for the update (that is a bit of a pain) are you sure these ones are meant to be weatherproof... :cool:

Well they were T10 LED bulbs.
They get sealed into the headlight unit by a rubber O-ring...

I actually noticed it going really dim one night. And I thought maybe the wire moved around and it was a poor connection.
By next day it had gone of completely.

Hm, I haven't been trying to ford any rivers lately, so I don't think water could have gone in?  :lol:

Funnneee :rolleyes:.. I was thinking that during heavy rain for example driving at even 60KPH would give them a thorough drenching  :cool:

  • Hyundai i30 SX CRDi 1.6 manual CW 2010 MY11
I'm picking up my new i30 CW SX Diesel on Tuesday. I wanted to set up daytime running lights. As they are required in some countries is there a way that I can get my Aussie spec car modified to turn front only parking lights on when motor is running. I was thinking of then getting LED parking bulb.
Otherwise am looking at Philips http://carbulbsdirect.com/product_detail.asp?prod=162 or Hella http://www.hella.com/hella-com-en/assets/media_global/F_LED-DRL_2007_EN_HKG.pdf
 DRL. Anybody have any experience with either?
Thanks,
