Re: Alternative LED bulbs - ECU confusion?


The E number is not of concern to me - but obviously poor functionality is of concern. E numbers mean the bulb manufacturer has gone through an expensive type approval routine. Non-E number means its compliance cannot be verified NOT that it does not comply with requirements!

Sigh. The manufacturers would love to be able to E mark their
replacements. They would sell far more. They *can't* be E marked because
they can't meet the spec.

Instead of arguing just buy them and do your own tests. But by the tone of
your posts you don't give a damn if they are effective or not for the job
but simply want them for fashion reasons.

Not true. Performance is what I wanted to know about (rather than E markings).
I guess the answer is exactly as you say - have a go and see. If performance is significantly compromised then they will be in the bin
