1monty Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 These useless sidelight leds have gone again, this time only lasting 2 months (previous ones lasted just over a year). Thought they were improved! Anybody else with similar problems? Think I will go back to ordinary sides! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the four small LEDs in each unit, 2 had gone in the RHS, and 3 in the LHS. I've gone back to the factory halogen globes that were originally fitted where a normal MkIV would have parking globes. (OSRAM make them if you need to find them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1monty Posted September 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Yes I am giving up with Ultraleds! What a company. The N/S led has lasted 2 months & they want me to send it back before replacement! I asked if they expected me to run around with no sidelights until replacements arrived & they said it was not company policy to replace before the faulty ones were sent back! I said to them it might be company policy but what about goodwill, customer service & reputation! So be warned they are really interested if their faulty bulbs fail! Back to the pain of digging around the engine compartment to fit new bulbs again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
