LED's.....

[FlashAir]

...hey hey all!! Been away for weeks with work (don't you hate it when works screws up all your plans?!).

Just got back to the UK and the missus has been using the Zed plenty...all seems good. Does smell really hot after driving....not like brakes....just hot....but all temps seem okay.....anyway, I digress..

So....bought some LED bulbs to replace the sidelight bulbs....great when switched on....but they stayed on sim when everything was off. I put them in the rear reg plate lights and they are fine......or so I thought....turns out, when it's dark, I can see they are on dimly too?? What LED bulbs can I buy to stop this on the front and the back? I am sure it's covered somewhere....but you are all top chaps and will point me the right way I'm sure

I put some in mine which are ok. But that was 3 years ago, let me have a look.

[FlashAir]

Awesome. Thanks Tony. I thought they'd be fine.....but nooooooo

Another question for you....what size is the standard exhaust ..... 2.5" or 3"??? You'll know.....you know LOADS!!!!

 

[t-tony]

Got me there but I can find out tomorrow, are you talking about the pipe in front of the back box?

Tony.

 

[FlashAir]

Yes....just before the rear box. I have a plan.............

 

[t-tony]

Yes....just before the rear box. I have a plan.............

Ok mate, I'll see what I can do for you.
My best guess would be 2 1/2 "

Tony.

 

[FlashAir]

I think I'm in agreement....but want to be sure...

I've always found that LEDs glow slightly when turned off

 

[t-tony]

These are the same type I fitted in my Z4

Nope never had this issue and My Z3 has every bulb swapped for LED (except headlights)

 

[t-tony]

It's the self check on the Z4 which causes it.
