If so what bulbs do they use and please post as much pics

Yeh that's what I'm after too, do get some pics up when you can please and where did you buy them from and also how long have you had them in for?
Could be these:http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/12v-096w-w...ent-type-wq13p
Or try on here:http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_fr...bulbs&_sacat=0
If you have one, put a multi-meter across it, measure it's resistance.
Then Current = Voltage /Resistance,
so Current = 12/Res.
After that,
Wattage = current x voltage, so
Wattage = 12 x current from above.
Pick whichever bulb gives you the same, beware of going too high a wattage, it might melt the holders etc.

I just bought T10 fitment white SMD LED lamps off eBay. Direct fit and good brightness. You can have a single LED because they don't spread the light around enough. I'll post a link to what I bought.
I've had them about 8 months or so.

If you look at the pics above you will see the bulb is in a tubular plastic holder. The bottom view clearly shows the wires protruding and wrapped round.Originally Posted by STi BLK
Why wire ended? How would you fit them?

Can do but won't be today as I said. The ones in the eBay link I posted are great. Nice white colour and aren't too bright, don't look silly.
