Re: LED stop tail bulb
Well, I ordered some like northy suggested ...
What I have done as a temporary measure is get some clear ones and covered them in red airfix type paint!!!  To be honest the job is a good-en … I am wondering why I spent a tenner on some LED ones now!!

Re: LED stop tail bulb
Got me new bulbs through the post today, like I said, went for the ones like northy suggested, i.e. like this
Now they work great ... except for the fact that they are too FAT to insert into the rear light ... basically they are uselss for this application. They would be fine if you inserted them from the front, but as they have to go through a hole ... no chance!!! ... What a waste of a tenner  On the upside, my airfix painted temporary ones worked a treat ... baring in mind the new ones don't fit, they will now become more permanent!!

Re: LED stop tail bulb
Eh, I never actually suggested them, that was an example of an LED with a wide spread, not a product recommendation... Sorry if that wasn't clear

... it never crossed my mind to check the dimensions ... but it is important for me to report my findings so some poor other sap doesn't make the same mistake!!

Re: LED stop tail bulb
Oh FYI, I had a moment of clarity/re-think and managed to use the new bulbs in the end ...
Although my undertray means the light has to be removed to unscrew the lens, you can take the lens off can’t you!!  .. so I took my light out, whipped the lens off and inserted the bulbs in the front rather than the traditional way through the back!! (as like I said, they don’t fit through the insertion hole) … so they are in now and they work really well!! If you have a standard rear light setup, the overhead in putting them in is minimal as you just remove 2 screws and take the lens off to change the bulbs!!  Its only my silly undertray that masked the screws and made it a pain to insert the bulbs the new way!!
