Fitted these to a VW Polo 6R (Mk5), improvement over the standard bulbs - noticeably brighter
Advantages: Pure white, brighter light
Disadvantages: Not Canbus compliant but in fairness doesn't claim that it is! Faulty bulb warning light does come on when using as sidelight

So have used as front side lights. These fit into the headlamp assembly and the effect due to the large headlamp gives a good forward white light. Vehicle not fitted with DRL so using these.
Advantages: Like all small sidelights this is not so good in bright daylight but as soon as the light dims a bit these come into there own.
Disadvantages: None at present.

Not particularly bright, comparable to standard 5W filament 501's. Create a canbus error on our Peugeot 207 and flicker when not switched on
Advantages: Won't blow as quick as standard bulbs, I hope! Nice white colour
Disadvantages: Not really any brighter than standard 5W filament 501 bulbs. Throw a canbus bulb error on our Peugeot 207. Flicker when not switched on

Used these to replace map reading and footwell lights on the VW Transporter. Very good lights, provide a nice modern white light with no Canbus errors. Highly recommend for bringing the van lighting up to date.

Advantages: Improved awareness to other drivers.

Purchased to replace a failing LED W5W sidelight bulb by another manufacturer (not supplied by ABD) on my wife's 28yr-old Mercedes E-class. This product is perfect - as one would expect from OSRAM. Thanks guys!
Advantages: Both our cars are older vehicles and I've run LED sidelights (and other filaments) for a few years now. I will never return to tungsten filaments again unless they are the only option left to me. LED's in any external lighting on any vehicle are a massive increase in personal safety.
Disadvantages: ENSURE your LED's are CanBus compatible otherwise there are no disadvantages!

A good bulb, bright and white which make my car look good. Only down side is they aren't ideal for may car and continue to glow after the ignition has been switched of
Advantages: Smarter look, brighter light making the car loon newer than it is
Disadvantages: Stays on after the ignition is of, apparently my car needs another grounding wire or changing the indication bulbs. My issue as I have a 2015 volvo

Didn't work.Fitted LEDS and it Flashed And came on For 6 seconds Then went out. It's did it every time I turned the ignition on. Had to reorder a different brand. So I can't really Comment That much. My car was an Audi A3.
Advantages: None.
Disadvantages: None.
Our Reply: That is a canbus compatibility issue. These bulbs are not canbus compatible and would need a canbus resistor to be used to resolve issues like this. We do have other bulbs available that are canbus compatible.
