Has anybody had any experience buying (and installing) the R-Dash LED lights? Specifically the whole kit offered on Ali-Express. I'm just a liitle concerned at buying $330 worth of lights and for them to either not work or not fit.
See here for link
Someone was talking about their interior LED lights staying on slightly all the time. I really want to avoid this as that will definately give my wife a clue that I've changed something......

Its a huge difference to filament globes and can't be mistaken for anything other than an upgrade....
I've got Superskoda lights for the boot and front interior. Ebay for the rears. Much cheaper than $330...

As this thread has re-opened I'll continue here. I am currently trialing different LED 's for the DRL's and the Fog / cornering lights. However none (and i'm at five different sets now) are simply plug and play. All either throw up error messages or have the wrong polarity or simply don't fit.
Once I have a better comparison I will post it here as well as the AuSodka forum.

I have just fitted a pair of Cree LED lights in my DRLs. Very much improved, no Canbus error and easy fit.

Now, can anyone suggest a way to improve the reversing lights on my wagon? Not a normal bayonet globe.

Yep, What I have come away with is to skip the Super Skoda DRL's in this case as they are not really the right parts. Thanks for the link will add it to my collection, but atm I have another three sets on the way to try.
As for the reversing bulbs they should be W16W which are very similar to the parking lights (and many interior bulbs). A replacement unit should look like this.

Question, how do people find the longevity of the LED globes?
The advantage of LEDs was always the much, much longer life and resistance to failure due to vibrations (no filament to break). However, I've heard from quite a few people that many LED solutions don't actually last that much longer than regular but good quality (usually German) globes.
I'm not too keen on paying a premium for a look but don't mind replacing with LEDs if that means tens of thousands of hours of operation.

I guess it depends on how much you are willing to pay. Just for a laugh I've found 10x LED W5W bulbs for $2.85 (total not each) shipped. You'd be hard pressed to find OEM globes for that price.

Cheers Twin_Dad, I guess I haven't really looked into the different offerings out there and the whole CANBUS error thing keeps me away from getting any.

The quality of a lamp depends on the chip, the way in which its mounted to the board and the design of the heatsink to remove heat from the chip.
We are currently developing solutions for all types of Euro cars. If you want you can send us a PM and we would be more than happy to work on solutions.
