VF parking lights

[VS_Pete]

probably a good idea to have a look at least before creating a thread. easiest thing in the world to do.

That was not called for.

Sometimes it better to ask a question that make a stupid mistake.

jesus people are sensitive sometimes.
seriosuly though, pop the bonnet... oh there it is.
APPOLOGIES OP didnt mean to hurt any feelings.

Also you can use cree LEDs to get a bit more brightness out of, i find they give off less blue if your looking for a cleaner look.

All good people. Chill!
Just having a dig Dig ;-)

GHO5T is right very simple. I was looking in the wrong place.

Now fitted working fine and look good. No error codes, broken bits etc. Thanks for all advice.

Remove the inner guard and have a look, probably sitting in the lower tray.

It will be along side the 10mm socket ;-)

I put a set of these in my Calais the other day, going to do the rest later, there is a good guide on the Chevy SS site that had a good video on how to do front and rear T10 lights, will try and find it again.

Edit: just looked at link from HotdogNo1 above on this site about fitting light, very good

Posted this before - applies to front parkers that get hot when the headlights are on. Globes Philmecrackun above list are like those I tried so appear may be a problem.
Beware of LED front parking light globes designed on more than one board without mechanical strength = those relying on/held together with solder connections only. After 1 hour the front LEDs fell apart inside my light fittings leaving just the slide connector removable from the fitting (appears not effecting anything but now unable to find or retrieve the LED head section).
Summary: What I bought was CANBUS and worked and looked fine but relied on solder connections to keep them in one piece - a bad move. Heat within the light fitting is obviously a problem affecting some globe designs.

VCoz, you were right, I got about 2 weeks and one is blinking and flickering, out with the new and in with the old technology of a filament bulb.
