Great info on the LED signal bulbs.
Alistair mentioned they were a little loose but worked. I like the idea of more visible lights.
Does anyone know if these LED bulbs work without needing a special relay like I needed when I installed the GW kit some time ago?
Also, Do they work in both the front and rear signal areas?
Answer determine how many I purchase.
Lastly, It seems like folks are finding brighter and better colored LED lights for the exterior of the vanagon.
I love the back up ones recommended. Friend told me about them and my wife say they help a lot when backing up.
Anyone have a source for the small marker light bulbs, or others used in the rear housing?
Info greatly appreciated.
