Had a lense cracked the other day at work and i myself cracked one a Few weeks previous

 

Just wondering if it would be good to convert to led lights?

Fitting LED's is simple but you will need a ballast resistor to make the indicators work properly. They are a lot slimmer than conventional bulb units so are easier to keep out of trouble.

 

Don't go cheap or you will be replacing them when the diodes start to fail.

If you go with the "hamburger" lights be sure they are 12 or dual voltage

 

They are common fit on trucks so a lot are 24 volt

they do both or duel voltage as you say correct but a very common light cluster

to buy

i got a vauxhall movano and the lights got broken.

I got a friend who was hand with a welder to make me some guards, cost me £20.

i would do it myself but no welder.

Admittedly not a pretty as them but basically the same thing.

 

went to get new lenses the other day, vauxhall quoted me £240! + VAT

 

in their wisdom they will only sell the entire uniot, housing and all ( but no bulbs).

 

£20 each for the lenses on ebay.

its a crazy world we live in some days!
