Caravan rear lights LED and canbus.
I would like to replace my caravan rear light bulbs with LED but not sure if these would interact with the Volvos bulb failure detection. Are there 21/21-5 equivalent LED bulbs that will just replace the standard bulbs without having to solder resistors into the circuits.

The problem used to be, that from certain angles, LED bulbs were barely noticeable - they were more focused. Ok from straight behind, but not at an angle. As I said, bulbs have progressed and the reflectors used within have progressed, but I would be very careful ensuring visibility from nearly 180 degrees is possible (if that makes sense). Side marker lights etc are not too much of an issue - just mainly the stop light or the combined stop/tail light. Hope this helps a little. |
