MINI Electrical LIGHTING LED EXTERIOR GLOBES
Bright LEDs are becoming more and more popular and they are an excellent upgrade for your lights. Our LEDs have the advantage of a wide angle light distribution design and can be easily installed with no modifications to your car required (negative earth only).
The LEDs are available in 3 colours (white, red and amber) to match the colour of the lens application. Trust us, you don’t want a white light behind a red lens. Pink is not the universal colour for “stop,” last we checked.
If you are planning to upgrade your indicators to LEDs you will also need to upgrade to an electronic flasher. The LED bulbs draw very little current and this means they won’t trigger the mechanical flasher to blink.
Some Classic cars may require a ballast when replacing the indicator bulbs with LEDs as the low amount of current required can lead to the other side LEDs lighting turning the lights into hazards. The ballast simply gives the indicator a ground without leaving extra current for the opposite LED. We supply LED bulb kits which contain a resistor to make the job easier.
