This score indicates how well this product performs against a vehicle's CANBus warning system.
7/10 means that this product will work for most vehicles however there is always a chance a warning error will still appear.
These LED bulbs are an easy-to-fit, direct replacement for existing filament bulbs. They also have a considerably longer lifespan, draw less power, generate less heat and are FAR brighter than standard bulbs!
These bulbs are CAN-Bus compatible, meaning they can communicate with the ECU on modern cars, meaning the correct bulb behaviour, and preventing the bulb-out warning lights on your dash. In addition to all these benefits, they also have a much better vibration resistance as there is no filament to break, as well as a much faster response time.
LED bulbs outperform standard bulbs in every possible way, and for peace of mind, every bulb we sell is backed by our guarantee, having endured rigorous in-house quality tests.
Long lifespan, backed by Ring's 5 Year Guarantee.

These are very large, didn't fit in the side lights of a ford focus. Easily fell out of the connector too so had to keep retrieving from inside the lamp housing whilst trying to fit.
Advantages: Bright
Disadvantages: Large, loose fitting.

No canbus errors on VW Golf 2017
Advantages: Previously purchased Philips Uliton 6000, however, while the bulb construction is good it generated fault codes. The Ring Premium is a good side light bulb and has not generated any canbus fault codes
Disadvantages: No disadvantages

I bought these as a replacement for the existing rather dull bulbs on my 2014 focus.
The difference is instantly noticeable and they are extremely bright in comparison to the old ones.
I've only had them fitted for a couple of weeks but I've had no problems with the lighting system or bulb out alarms.
An excellent product and great service from ABD.
Advantages: Easy to fit and so much brighter than the original filament bulbs
Disadvantages: None so far and none expected.

These are the brightest W5W LED bulbs that I have tried. Put into the sidelights on a Merc C Class they are good enough to use as daytime running lights. The original halogen bulbs provided a pathetic yellow light.
Advantages: Really bright white light. My estimate is the equivalent of 12w halogen.
No problem with the Canbus bulb failure system.
Disadvantages: None.

I’ve had LED side marker bulbs in my 2013 MINI Cooper S for years and lived with annoying bulb warnings. Finally a solution. These bulbs fit well, appear well made, don’t trigger the bulb warning and complement the factory xénons. The light is bright white. I was initially concerned about their brightness but I notice most new vehicles now seem to have bright DRLs so I’m not concerned. I’m very happy.
Advantages: Solid build, good fit, modernise the look of the car, no dash warning, 5 year warranty.
Disadvantages: They are bright, and may fail the MOT. Time will tell.

Came well packaged which is always a good sign. The installation was simple and easy, straight swap with the OEM halogen wedge bulbs with no issues whatsoever. No warning lights or beeps sounding when I turned over the MINI which was a relief as MINIs are 'specific' on what get's installed.
Advantages: Major difference in brightness as my sidelights. Certainly helps as my car has the 'follow me home' feature lighting my way to the front door. Adds extra brightness to the road at night which is helps a lot especially as I live in the countryside.
Disadvantages: None. Great purchase and will buy again if have too.

The car can now easily be seen when sat in nose to tail commuter traffic; during the dark winter mornings with just the side lights on, without glaring headlights shone to the car in front.
Don't forget these leds' have a certain +/-polarity
Advantages: 1) Great for older cars without daylight running lights
2) Bright and very white, an effective solution for gloomy or slightly darker days
Disadvantages: Cost.
Call me old school but, these are really pricy for (just) a pair of side lights.
