No, they were just standard 501 led replacement - I didn't know that you could get ballasted 501'sDo the bulbs you bought have ballast units? If not you can buy separate ones.

I think you will need a ballast unit then to simulate the load of a standard bulb.No, they were just standard 501 led replacement - I didn't know that you could get ballasted 501's
I'm sure these were listed as canbus error free!I think you will need a ballast unit then to simulate the load of a standard bulb.
Most of the ones on eBay say CANBUS error free so they must have ballast units.
Loads of LED bulbs are quoted as canbus error free but are really only error free if used on a non canbus vehicle it's the Chinese wayI'm sure these were listed as canbus error free!
I'd have to check
Come on what does yellow remind you of, would you eat yellow snow!I don't know how you can all be arsed with them. Just because the colour of bulbs are slightly yellower doesn't mean they aren't as bright, output is different to colour our halogen bulbs are great
If the bulbs already have built in ballast and you add an additional unit the load would be greater than a standard bulb so would probably still get a CANBUS error.I think I will wait and see what happens when you guys fit your new LED H7/H4 Lamps, error codes or light out codes should not happen with proper ballast units, unlike the cheapy orange resistors that get too hot.
I found these if anyone is interested.
! guess you would need a set for each pair of lamps, ouch! that puts the cost up a bit>

Looks good, no CANBUS errors then.Well I went ahead and replaced the dipped beams on the hymer with LEDs, not as difficult to access as I thought but being 6ft 4 I can reach through the bonnet!
This was when I had only replaced one of the bulbs, pretty good beam pattern and cut off....for when I go off road of course View attachment 449132
I might need to replace the side lights as they look a little yellow....
My Hymer is too old for CANBUS issues, although the same brand of bulbs are in the pickup and work without throwing up any errorsLooks good, no CANBUS errors then.
Was it the ones listed here I have a sprinter 2005 Hymer so no errors on mine. I’ll be getting them. They look great on your Hymer mateMy Hymer is too old for CANBUS issues, although the same brand of bulbs are in the pickup and work without throwing up any errors
Yeah these are the ones I've just fitted to the Hymer, also a sprinter but a mk1Was it the ones listed here I have a sprinter 2005 Hymer so no errors on mine. I’ll be getting them. They look great on your Hymer mate
Looks good, are you going to change the main beam as well?Well I went ahead and replaced the dipped beams on the hymer with LEDs, not as difficult to access as I thought but being 6ft 4 I can reach through the bonnet!

Its definitely an improvement! Yeah I'll upgrade the main beams too and put some whiter bulbs in the front side lights. I'd like to do something with the rear lights as they're pretty rubbish but I don't know what I can do without changing the fittingsLooks good, are you going to change the main beam as well?
Did you refit the large rubber caps after fitting the LEDs?Its definitely an improvement! Yeah I'll upgrade the main beams too and put some whiter bulbs in the front side lights.

No I didn't/couldn't due to the length of the fittings. The wing area is fairly sealed and water tight so no real concern leaving it off. I did make a little adapter wire for the ground as the spade connector is different to the orginal so that i could swap back to OEM bulbs if needed. There is a heat sink and fan at the back to draw heat away from the fitting. I have similar bulbs fitted in another vehicle where the covers did fit back on and there have been no issues with overheating so farDid you refit the large rubber caps after fitting the LEDs?
Have noticed what appears to be a very small fan
at the base of the LED light and they needed some cooling?
I don't know how you can all be arsed with them. Just because the colour of bulbs are slightly yellower doesn't mean they aren't as bright, output is different to colour our halogen bulbs are great
Filters on headlights? Not seen them for years, ours are slightly yellow because they're halogen. They get warm inside the light fitting too, which drives out any moisture, forgot to mention that
Was just pointing out the colour thing really - the reason 99% of new cars now have white/blueish headlights is because it simulates daylight and is safer.Filters on headlights?

Sounds good! Let us know the results when you manage to get outOnly fitted them yesterday afternoon not had a chance to try them on the road, beam does look good.
My drive has a slight slope and the suspension was on the lowest setting so so the van was a bit low to the ground and slightly nose down. So beam should be better with the van at ride height and level.
They look good, what material did you use? As I can't see PLA lasting very long.These are the lamp holders I have printed for my Hella projectors so I can fit the h1 bulbs picture 1 shows original bulb holder's then the revised holders for the led bulbsView attachment 452150View attachment 452151View attachment 452152View attachment 452153View attachment 452154View attachment 452155View attachment 452156
This is great, nice work. I’ve never used 3D printing before, did you have to design this yourself or was there a blueprint for it online somewhere?These are the lamp holders I have printed for my Hella projectors so I can fit the h1 bulbs picture 1 shows original bulb holder's then the revised holders for the led bulbsView attachment 452150View attachment 452151View attachment 452152View attachment 452153View attachment 452154View attachment 452155View attachment 452156
