How are the 100 ohm resistors installed with the LED side repeaters from Powerful Uk please?

You should not need resistors when fitting just an led side repeater as the other 2 bulbs in the circuit provide enough resistance for the flasher unit to work as normal. To check this remove and unplug your old unit then try the indicators which should work as normal. You do need resistors if upgrading the puddle light bulbs to led as the led bulb will not work correctly without a resistor but Powerful have a u tube video on their website that shows what is involved and how to fit it.

No they don’t......the LED side repeaters I bought makemthe whole side flash too fast, definitely resistors needed, so I never used them again, not worth the agro. Regards

Thank you very much for your interest in my problem, guys. It does seem a bit of a "mish mash" so will leave well alone! I must say that having informed Powerful of the problem they replied straight away and sent the resistors by 1st class mail. Brilliant customer service I reckon. Also found how to install resistors on the video for replacing puddle lamps. Very helpful all round.

Where are they from David?
I bit the bullet and got mine from powerfuluk and the timing is good
one of mine was faulty on reciept, but replaced by powerfuluk within 24 hours.

Tried LED bulbs but did not have any issue. Currently have cheap Chinese dynamic ones, also no issues.

It was the cheap dynamic ones I have that don’t work properly, but at just approx £7 for them I don’t give a fig  Regards

it seems that with all the probs LED bulbs create in these cars, its not worth even considering them .What with the cost its not like domestic installation where running cost is a saving .

Haven’t tried LED bulbs in any exterior lights but the LEDs in the interior are an excellent upgrade. Much brighter and crisper.

Maybe it’s just me but standard are perfect why make the FL2 like an Audi  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

Err, well we all like to be a bit different and adapt our motors to our individual tastes,

The ones I have were not that cheap, approx £15. They look very similar to the ones powerfuluk is selling (for more than double the amount I paid), the plug is the same and even the text on the glass is the same.

As were mine, perfect fit and looked absolutely identical (apart from being smoked).......

But the upgraded replacement rear LED dark lamps clusters from Powerfuluk work great, fit perfectly and pass MoT

So you pays ya munny etc etc Regards
