Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I noticed one of my 6w position/parking bulbs is out. Candlepower has an Osram MiniXen bulb producing 85 lumens and I see a ton of LED bulbs with a bayonet base on eBay. What are your thoughts on the 85 lumens? Too hot? And opinions on substituting with LED bulbs? I don't want to "overcook" the headlight assembly. I use my fog lights as DRL's and this means the position/parking light is on as well. Thanks all.

I'm not sure which one's you're looking at but I doubt the leds will get hot enough. Make sure you buy the right base.....120 apart ones. It's very difficult to find as most are 180 apart. Also make sure the bulb is small enough to fit into the housing. It took me many many trial and error to find LEDs that have the correct base and small enough to fit. I've cut a prong off a 180 base but didn't really like that idea.

Thank you for the heads up on the base. I pulled the bulb and it has a "8 o'clock and 4 o'clock" pin position. I'll measure the base as well. Thanks again!
