I've got LED bulbs as my front sidelights, supposed to be canbus (brought from a forum sponsor)
but these seem to hold a residual power for several minutes after switching off.

I just fitted LED side lights this week and very happy with them. Reading some of the issues here thought I’d update the thread with the details of the bulbs should anyone be interested...

I fitted some led front sidelight bulbs supplied by a certain orange/black coloured company, but as soon as fitted the bulbs were flashing like the indicators constantly so removed . Will watch this thread with interest as would like to improve the lights purely for safety and not have to have the headlights on all the time.

Ring is a well know brand! Bit like Halfrauds  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

To .... Help I'm lost,


Reinsert the LED bulb.

If it continues to flash ....... turn the bulb through 180 degs.

Reinsert the bulb.

Should work fine now

If NOT ...... you need to place a resistor across the wires leading to the bulb holder, as the LEDs are NOT CanBus compatible.

Largered i hope we meet up at some point so the drink behind the bar that is waiting for you, you get to enjoy.
Yorky Bob yes it was.
I've been around and driven Landrovers for 30+ years, but it amazes me just how much i'm learning since buying this FL2 last year and even more since joining this forum. Thanks guys.
