What is it about the normal p13w led that does not fit ?
Is it the connector or the lamp part ?

It's the actual bulb part that's a bit too long. Because they're fitted in a kind of half-arsed way and squeezed into the fog light half way between the glass and the back (where the normal bulb holder is) the bulb part hits the glass, if you see what I mean? I believe you can get Konik branded bulbs from Australia that fit (on eBay).

Don’t bother with the standard P13W LED even though the plug and socket affair is correct. Not only is the overall length too long, the plastic base is too long, not to mention the diameter is too big (just about everything is wrong!). As some here, I tried filing, sanding and Dremel on the standard P13W but you have to take too much off, in the end the standard P13W falls to bits and it still won’t fit in the housing.

Go with the Konik, its tried and tested by a few here now. Mine only took 6 days to get here and about 15 minutes to fit once I had the correct size – looks far better too. Not sure why Ford aren’t putting these in at the factory TBH.

Sorry guys, I am a bit late to this and could do with a bit of a summery.

Can someone summarise (and I know I am asking again) firstly, what the lights do as standard?

Secondly, what the diode dynamics bulbs do, and add a link?

Thirdly, if I go with something like [MENTION=14834]John577[/MENTION] suggests a few posts above, is that just plug and play and does the same (just better) as the originals?

I haven't done any upgrades in the last few weeks and I am having withdrawal symptoms, this is a cheapish upgrade I can do while waiting for my exhaust and springs

Fanks in advance!

OK thanks guys I am getting there with this!
Blingworks have just come back to me and say that you get 4 bulbs in a set 2 for dlr and 2 for fogs are they both the same bulb fog & dlr?

Loads of info on the sticky's on the Europe section. Although I think more suppliers will pop up so I'm holding off for a bit.

Also complete LED upgrade here.

Not cheap just for some LED's but thats why I'm waiting a bit.

Cheers

Yea, don't forget to share all your experience with the LED bulbs in this thread in the european section so we can have all the informations in one place

And as I said before, I tried a lot of P13W LED's bulbs and no one would fit into the housing.

The only one that would fit in place is this one (needs some mod on the fog light) :

Check here my post with my "bad adventure" :lol:

Konik DRL bulbs just landed, £6 VAT added ... no problem with that, again though £8 Royal Mail International handling fee. That bit grinds my gears, international handling fee my arse, they haven't done anything.

 

[Big_G]

DRL (Koniks from AU) & side markers (from eBay) done. Makes quite a difference

 

[SteveS]

Looks great!

Looks great!

Tidies the front end up nicely
