    Anyone have a good source for LED bulbs for city lights? Getting sick of having to replace the ones I buy on ebay every month.

    Little pricey but I've only had one bulb fail in 3 years

    I purchased some city lights several years ago that had the following description:

    HID Match 6000k White 24-smd Error Free W5w 2825 LED Parking Eyelid Light Bulbs

    When I Google it this is what comes up Clicky click® The bulbs look exactly like what I have but I don't recognize the vendor. I believe it was Precision LED but I can't seem to find the same bulb on their website.

    No issues to date.

    Doesn't look like the correct base for my lights. Pretty sure I need H6W bulbs, no?

    I have DJAuto black ecodes and that is the base the city light uses (T10 or blade style). Apparently yours is different.

    You need H6W/BA9S LED bulbs for the ecode city light bulb.

    As long as the bulb has the built in resistor so as to not trigger a bulb out warning, you should be good to go. I've not had problems with any "canbus" H6W BA9S LED bulb from eBay.

    If your having any condensation issues, that condensation will affect the operation of the LED bulbs and cause them to short out prematurely.

    Places like SuperBrightLEDs.com offer a large variety of LED bulbs that work.

    I've had various issues with the few different bulbs I've tried. Some will flicker but not throw a canbus code, others will work for a while, throw a code and go out only to work again when the car is restarted. etc...
