Most CAN-Bus based VAG vehicles (and all built since late-2009) use PWM dimming so this isn’t an issue for owners of those marques. An interesting feature of some is the use of PWM dimming for certain bulbs in place of fitting dual-filament types, meaning a standard 21W single-filament bulb (or LED) can serve double duty as both a 5W tail light *and* a 21W brake light with no need for a second filament. This also extends the life of filament bulbs, I recently swapped out the halogen bulbs on my 10 year old VW for LEDs and was surprised to see it still had the original factory bulbs fitted from new. For those that don’t know, PWM lighting control is responsible for the funky strobing effects you see in high-speed video of cars fitted with LEDs, an effect not seen with filament bulbs due to the high switching rate of LEDs.

Useful info!!! The cornering lights, as you said, in many cases are shared with the fog lights so it's needed a lower temperature than the 6000k usually the led bulbs offer.

Thank you for this video! Greatly appreciate the effort and time you put into this, and the education value alone is worth the watch.

Great video as usual!

Cool. Useful and concise like always. Keep it up. 👨‍🔧🤴

You need to use a capacitor packs in line to stabilize the voltage on some cars for the leds to work. Won't dim, but wont flicker.

Thank you for your videos

I did it in my Kia Carens and worked fine.

Thanks this really helped

Muchas gracias

Good vid.

Thanks my friend. 🇧🇪 🇹🇷

What about Japanese cornering lights? In my Cedric, the cornering lights only turn on instantly when using the signals and immediately turn off. Would an LED be a good idea then?

How can I buy the bevinsee in Europe??? You posted USA Amazon links

u r great , thanks

Please tell me which one is the best of best led ..

wow 👍

Hi man, do you need a canbus adapter, do these bulbs report an error( Passat B8 2016) tnx

Salut am un vw cc din 2015 ai idee ce led sa pun pe cornering am h7 fără eroare ?

I did this with STEDI led for my kia, dimmed perfectly but I'm more concerned of them being too bright as it is a reflector housing

pai si pana la urma dupa ce treb sa ma uit sa cumpar produsul corespunzator ?

Multumesc Catalin N

I thought fog lights illuminate better for the driver at a warm temperature, 2700K. Great video, we thank you for your effort.

Not always. You can also use leds that go more in 4000 k and not in blue tint 6000

nice fcy

I think the new Morimotos 3.0 can dim down to quite a low amount of voltage.

Try f3 and f5 led. One of the brightest led in the market

is there a way I can install corner lights on my non corner light car?

If you have a japanese vehicle you could acquire the JDM position/cornering light assembly and set it to work with your signal lights.

Someday someone will figure out a retrofittable matrix lighting system.. Some EU countries already have laws that could allow stuff like this in light bars.

Ce imi recomanzi pt ceata sa merg pe philips sau pe osram? Am proiectoarele deschise. Cei de la aspad au spus ca noua seria de la philips nu este rezistenta la apa ceea ce nu prea cred( in special ventilatorul) si au zis ca sa ma multumesc ca ei ofera un an garantie :)) cand la produsul de top de 700 mil pe siteul philips scrie 2 ani garantie + 3 extra daca inregistrezi la ei

Led bulbs in fog or cornering blinking other drivers

Nice video. But not all cars use dimming on cornering lights. My new vw do not use dimming. Just on and off. The cars that use dimming can be adjusted by reprogramming that electronic unit. In my case at vw if i put leds on fog i got error bulb message. I need to change the load of the circuits to led the computer know that it has leds with 15w for example and not halogen with 35w

This is not true. As Emil explained above, the reflective coating of the headlight is designed to withstand the high temperature of a halogen bulb and is a metallic coating applied with electro plating arc. Furthermore, genuine LED headlights designed and installed in newer cars use the same coating and working principle. They have other flaws, but this is not one of them 😅
