Hi geobloke,
I've had those on my 90 for the past 5 months after having some poor results from some similar ones bought on eBay ( they lost LEDs over a few weeks. However the Amazon ones have stood the test of time and have not lost any LEDs. Very bright and very useful.  LANDYWATCH

If I fitted those aforementioned LEDS to my TD5, the soft start function wouldn't work, would it ?

If you mean the gradual brightening and darkening then yes they do work, but are a bit steppy rather than a smooth act. |

38mm Do indeed fit but from fitting I think standard is 36mm bulbs. As the pins need slightly adjusting to take a 38mm. 0.1w draw 11w output on these. Standard bulbs are 10w draw and output. Is a bit darker being red but I prefer that than being lit up white like a football ground at night and it's much softer on the eyes. Also don't have the worry of leaving doors open and battery drain now. as basically as I do that a lot before I had them pretty much off all the time. Now with these they are on when the doors open. _\Hennessey|Venom| F5/___ ___\âï¸Lone|Star|State/___ ____\We|Will|Win/___ ____/🇬🇧🇺🇸\____ _//*⛽ï¸ðŸ›¢ï¸âš™ï¸ðŸ§°*\\_ |

How does that work then? If they were 0.1A consumption (assuming 0.1W is a typo), that would equate to 1.2W. If they were 11W that would be 0.9A? Changing them for red ones must alter the laws of physics. Pete |

dgardel -
XS Pete - That was what I thought I read somewhere but I'm probably wrong then. (on hindsight can't remember where either) My mistake. They are these: http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/272-LED-F...lours.html Two reviews on them both 5star. _\Hennessey|Venom| F5/___ ___\âï¸Lone|Star|State/___ ____\We|Will|Win/___ ____/🇬🇧🇺🇸\____ _//*⛽ï¸ðŸ›¢ï¸âš™ï¸ðŸ§°*\\_ |

Ok I understand now. Their description says <1W which makes much more sense. To have been 11W they'd have needed a couple of 5W Crees in and then you'd have to drive about wearing welding goggles.

GUM - Cheers. Will try and take a photo tonight if I don't get frozen in the process.
 Being red it is obviously darker than standard but what I am impressed with with these is that they give a good light spread and not directional like some of the rubbish led versions. £5 each too so not cheap but good value for the quality. _\Hennessey|Venom| F5/___

Best photo I can come up with is this. Camera is only a phone one and seems to hate the light levels and colour so makes it look MUCH darker than what it really is. (you'll have to take my word for it)
