Do they make LED bulbs with the auto bayonet fitting? I want to swap out my blinkers and brake lights for more efficient LEDs, but without having to change/mod anything else

No idea, Im keen to do the same.
Have seen LED spottys compared to normal, 100w jobs, and the current draw.
Pretty much you could run 20 LED spottys for the same draw as a pair of normal.
Im thinking of changing all over.

I haven't seen any LED car lights in action yet. I am very interested to see how they come along in the next few years though.
A few weeks ago I had no idea what LED's were capable of and always thought of them as bright bluish short ranged lights. Then I got a Led lenser torch for chrissy with a Cree LED... HOLY MACKEREL! I am a converted man.

eBay links are dead. Which ones work in a Sierra? I need reverse, blinkers and stop/tails (rear only)
From what I can tell indicators and reverse are BA15S and stop/tail is BA15D, I did a bit of googling for bulb specs but didn't dig far enough. Royce prolly has something

I hope reverse is BA15s cause I ordered some really dear CREE bulbs to stick in mine
sounds about right though, be sure to get them in a pattern that works with the housing, IE once that point all the LED's straight out suck for stop and tail in a Sierra

Where'd you get the crees from?
I think the point-straight-out-the-back ones would suck in any position, not just stop/tails.

This guy is round the corner from me and is a top bloke with decent stuff. I have bought heaps of gear off him and am running replacement led blinkers on the front of my zook. When you put leds into your blinkers, you will need to change the flasher pin, he also sells them too.

So my reverse LED's arrived today, stuck em in and noticed the first shitty reverse light problem I had is all the inside of the lights and bulbs are covered in dust
the pair of em (inside dirty lenses) are about as bright as my expensive petzl headlamp so more than enough light for reversing in dark areas and even rigged up as some camp lights, a lot brighter than what I had
I will try and get some pics of them when I am out in teh dark one night

I have LED lights on my patrol. Brake and indicator.
They are crap.
There is a wesite somewhere i found that has triple the LEDs in each fitting. They were around $50 each though.
I had to change to LED because of crappy designed lights in bullbar meant that the lens got holes burn't into it from the heat of the normal bulbs.
