Thanks for the links. Are you saying you tried the second ones but ditched them because they were too bright? The first ones seem bright enough, but do they provide an even spread of light? As there are no LEDs on the sides, I would have thought they give only a very narrow pencil-like beam... Any chance of a photo of what your Blue GT looks like with these bulbs in? Many thanks.
I thought that the 30w variety were too bright and had quite a wide and high spread, causing some discomfort for oncoming traffic. Didn't want to give the Fuzz any excuse for being inquisitive. The 5w type is certainly not as bright and more directional but fills the role of a DRL perfectly well.
I used the 60w variety to replace the reversing bulb. That helped a lot !

Realise this is an old thread…but tried fitting some ‘canbus’ LED to replace the standard P21 5W DRL bulbs on my 2014 BlueGT and they didn’t even come on..
Anyone else have this, and would trying better (more expensive) ones likely to solve it?

Did you try them the other way round? Polarity sensitive.

Sorry only just seen you replied. Had no idea they would be polarity sensitive so maybe I just had them the wrong way around! Ended up getting a refund but may take another stab at it.
Cheers
