This score indicates how well this product performs against a vehicle's CANBus warning system.
9/10 means that this product will work for most vehicles however there is always a chance a warning error will still appear.
Most modern cars today use a system to continuously detect faults – known as CAN-Bus. These bulbs are CAN-Bus enabled and will eliminate those annoying warning lights when your car thinks it has a faulty bulb.
Cree is the Rolls Royce of LED technology recognised the world over. Most major manufacturers of LED products use Cree LEDs. This particular bulb uses 3 Cree LEDs and is rated at 6000K giving off a 180 degree crisp cool white light.
Although your vehicle battery is used for all the electrics any saving in power has to be a good thing. These bulbs will give a greater light output (220 Lumens) than the standard bulb (50 Lumens) but use much less power - a win win!
One of the many advantages with LED bulbs over the standard is the length of time they will last. LED bulbs will significantly outperform standard replacement bulbs and should give 4000 hours or more of trouble free use. Unlike some other more inferior LEDs the light output with a Cree LED will not deteriorate over time.
We are so confident with this range that we offer a full no quibble 3 year guarantee....

Very bright and nice light pattern lighting up ground area at back of car. Didn’t end up using them as one of my bulb holds broke due to plastic fatigue and ended up replacing both number plate light fittings with original Volvo V70 LED units.
Advantages: Very bright
Re purposed in my load area headlining light
Disadvantages: None ,just remember these are polarity bulbs so if don’t work first time turn 180 degrees

Made the interior lights worth using. The car had a dimming feature once the door is closed and they dim just like the weak tungsten jobbies did
Advantages: Usable interior lights
Disadvantages: None but the price.

used these on roof interior light in the front Audi Q5 2015. Much brighter and a cleaner light. You need a good set of needle nose pliers to install without fuss (audi hiding their bulbs again). I ordered by phone, very helpful and a quick delivery. No problems with Canbus.

As usual I have received superb customer service from ABD. It is why I source most of my automotive LED's from them. Far superior products to the rubbish found on fleabay and Amazon. I fitted these to the number plate lights and boot lights on my Volvo C70 and they work really well. I can now see things in the boot when its dark outside.
Just remember that these are polarity sensitive so will only work if you fit them the right way around.
Advantages: Nice crisp white light plus a decent sized heat-sink to keep them reliable. They have a 3 year warranty as well but I'm not expecting to use it.
Disadvantages: The standard size festoon bulbs on my Volvo are 36mm long so these are a bit more difficult to fit but once in place they won't move and the holders shouldn't suffer in any way.

Good quality product and makes a difference to the boot lighting, much more modern feel now.
Advantages: One for one fitment and relatively easy to install.
Disadvantages: Slightly longer than the OE festoon bulbs, so requires the mounting plates to be moved out slightly. Would recommend rounding the bulb ends off to make fitting easier.

Very pleased with my purchase. I was a little sceptical when the bulbs turned up in plain packaging and not in the container they are normally in. I was also a little concerned as one of the bulbs wouldn’t work. A quick email to customer services and my mind was out at rest. You have to turn the bulb 180 as they only work in one direction. D’oh! Very happy with the brightness of these bulbs too. Great purchase.
Advantages: Lights the rear lovely
Disadvantages: Can’t think of any at present.

These bulbs worked a treat on my Seat Leon Cupra 2010. No errors, crisp bright light and make a massive difference to the look of the rear end rather than the normal dull yellow ish light. Highly recommended.

Nice replacement for 10W festoon bulbs - the difference is remarkable, so much more lighter.
They looked expensive, but I realised that they were in packs of 2. It looks like the price is for a single bulb, so I almost bouht something else, so that could be clearer on th web site.
Advantages: Lower power consumption, 2w Vs 10w for the old bulbs, with much more light. Very happy with that. If they last teh time stated they are worth the money, time will tell, but all cree LEDs I've ever bought are still working, which is why I was happy to pay more than for the cheaper alternatives. I've noticed cheap LEDS dont last, despite claims to the contrary.
Disadvantages: Cant think of any - except its not clear that they only work when inserted the right way round. I suppose the clue is in the word diode. I soon reliased that I needed to insert half of them the other way round, but there was no obvious +ve or -ve marking. If your custmers dont know what a diode is, they might complain that some of these dont work, when they just need flipped round the other way. More of a disadvantage to the seller, that perfectly good bulbs dont appear to be working, simply becuse the customer doesnt know anything about LEDs!

Bought these to replace my Golf GTI Ed. 30 number plate bulbs. I’ve tried other Led in the past, but no good due to non Canbus compliance. But these are perfect - no problems (though you do have to get them in the correct way around). Very nice bright white light.
Advantages: Far better light than old filament bulbs.
Great service from ABD. :)
Disadvantages: Not cheap.

Great bright Bulbs but certainly NOT Canbus compatible with a Mercedes ML300. I'm still getting the annoying warning lights.
Advantages: Really Bright clean light.
Disadvantages: Not Canbus compatible, I spent the extra money on these as these say they are Canbus compatible so thought that would include my Mercedes.

I bought these for my range rover L322, I already had LED bulbs in the number plate lights but kept getting the check bulb warning.
they worked a treat and eliminated the annoying check bulb message on the dash, they didn't look much while in the packaging, but they certainly deliver in use!!

Very disappointed as oneof the bulbs in the twin pack did not work
Will not be buying anything else from ABD
Our Reply: LED bulbs are often polarised which means they will only work if put in one way round. So simply turning it 180 degrees should resolve the issue for you.

I really like these bulbs as they really compliment my factory LED tail lamps. The numberplate bulbs give a crisp white light which is OEM looking and not too bright. No CanBus error. The car is a 2013 R56 Mini Cooper S. See the video of my experience of these and also LED sidelight bulbs here: https://youtu.be/UALAb7SHHfs
Advantages: Lovely colour and brightness, not too bright so as to look cheap or tacky, look very OEM, good price, no CanBus error
Disadvantages: Packaging should advise that if they do not illuminate, try flipping them!

No flicker present as some Led's do and a nice crisp white light.
I also bought a set for my wifes Mazda CX5 and interior curtesy lights and they work brilliantly.
I would recommend if you are looking for a quality product.
