Heater bulbs

Post by andy w »

Was just wondering guys what is the reason for people converting the heater panel to led is it because just the bulbs go or some other reason. If its just the bulbs i will replace cus mine have gone. Anyone know the answer to this one :)

LED last longer and are more efficient also they look good in what ever color you want to go with your car.

The heater panels are dull even with stock bulbs so people tend to go LED for brighter or coloured lights. Your best option is to wire in multiple leds as i have two blue leds in my heater panel and there not bright enough

If it doesn't fit,

If it breaks,
