This is awesome info! Thanks a lot for posting this.eye of ra wrote:The relay for the front bulb detector is in the front relay box it’s the one at the top of the pyramid and coloured blue. The 1992 wiring diagram doesn’t show it, the 1991 diagram does, so I guess that’s the point it was removed and changing the DRL to LED wont set off the warning light.spree wrote:eye of ra wrote:I got a set of warm white from spree and it also passed MOT with no problem the other day. My 89 ES did have DRL in the bulb out circuit but removing a relay and adding a jumper wire stopped it being triggered from the DRL but left it working for the rears and most importantly stops the plastic roasting.spree wrote:Awesome! Do you have any more info/pictures on this so that it can help others with the same issue?
The jumper needs to go between the terminals S, SL and SR as shown in the picture.

Or that could be 1994 as it appears the number of bulbs the bulb failure system detected changed at least twice (may be more).glasgowjim wrote:i guess thats when the lamp controller box in the rear rassenger side next to the aerial chenged as well.

Re: FOR SALE:- LED DRL lights
Sorry to revive such an old thread
But I was wondering if these are still available? As my celebration is nearing completion and these would look fantastic on it!

Re: FOR SALE:- LED DRL lights
I'm up for a pair too, if they are still available Am trying to repair broken DRL lenses with a DIY fix at the moment, and I think LED lamps would be a better long term solution to the old style hot lamps.

Re: FOR SALE:- LED DRL lights
Sadly I don't think Spree is doing this anymore - The email address Jim has for him is no longer registered.
I have asked Brinkie for advice on locating appropriate units (see thread on replacement light cluster). If I make any progress, I will PM you with updated information.
Regards
Martin

Re: FOR SALE:- LED DRL lights
I have bought myself on Ebay some different types of BA15S LEd bulbs to try an replace DRLs for LEDs. All of them in warm white tone. While I wait for them to come from China I have a few questions. I really would like to replace all BA15s on the car for LEds, that's pretty much all of them but the long beam hallogen H4 and the pop up cross H7 sockets.
Does the bulb failure signal on my 1991 turbo check all the bulbs around the car or just the rear ones?
If so, has anyone tried to install a canbus warning signal canceller. How did it work?

the 'bulb check' function appears to change over around 1991 according to HBOL so difficult to saybalto8 wrote:

on 1993 version ONLY rears , on 1989 front DLR & all rears only know cos we had one of each
doubt if CANBUS is appropriate, 480 wasn't that sophisticated, it is a only a box o tricks in the rear cubby alongside the aerial
