Corona ring upgrade

coopersim · 02-26-2010, 06:51 AM

I can't see this covered elsewhere...

If I go ahead and change the bulb to an LED, how will the bulb behave when I unlock the car? At the minute the bulb brightens grdually until fully lit, if I put an LED in there, will it either be on or off ie no dimming?

Thanks

LEDs do dim, just at a different rate than halogens. Our WeissLicht LEDs will function like your factory bulbs so they will fade on and off when you lock/unlock the car.
