Osram 2825YE-02B LEDriving LED Retrofit Amber Interior Lights Amber 2000K, Double Blister

(Ford Focus Mk2)These are some good bits of kit from OSRAM. I was initially slightly wary about paying £15 quid for a couple of LEDs, especially as they are only to replace my sidelights; I have no regrets.The finish of these lights are good quality. Unlike the bulk made China bulbs you can get left right and centre on both Amazon and Ebay, this offering from OSRAM feels well made. They are fully plastic, and there is a transparent but frosted covering over the LED chip itself to disperse the light produced.Installation was a breeze with polarity not being an issue thanks to the design. For me at least, the installation consisted of literally a straight replacement from halogen to LED. No errors or warnings of any kind - they just work.The colour of the light from these lights is great too. They aren't yellow, but they're not pure white either - a nice balance between the two. There also doesn't seem to be any blueish tinge which made me happy, as I don't like that. They are a huge improvement over my old halogens which were basically a waste of time. I've had a test drive behind my partner in a separate vehicle and there is no glare at all, just better presence on the road.For me these LEDs have changed my barely visible halogen sidelights into what are essentially very useful manual DRLs. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to replace their halogen sidelights.

Works really well, transforming my weedy Orange, distinctly 1990's style, bulbs in to a much more modern style. The colour is White and doesn't look like the Blue ones used on cheap lowered BMW's with overly bassy stereos. The bulb emits much more light than standard and could be perceived as safer as a result. My only problem was, I had just these side lights on, In my garage, at dusk and I absent mindedly mistook the high emittance for the headlights. I drove off without my headlights on but the light was so bright no-one noticed.Fitting these, depending on your application, can be awkward because the bulb is so small, it is easy to accidentally touch the bulb. Just wipe the bulb with meths if you do, the oils from your hand can shorten the life dramatically.

Five stars because they are so much better than all the others out there.These are well made, cast a nice bright and diffuse light, are very efficient, run cool, and should last for years. Good replacement for 5W interior lamps if you want a brighter looking whiter light.The 4000K doesn't quite reveal the colour balance - it's not quite a neutral 4000K. It has hints of pinks and other colours in the mix, but overall a pleasing white-ish colour.For (unauthorised) use as sidelights they wont quite match the (also slightly coloured) appearance of 4300K original equipment HID headlamps, but they're closer than anything else I've seen and would look much nicer than using regular filament lamps, blue vision type coated filament lamps, or any of the other not-strictly legal LEDs that are usually way too yellow at 3000K or way two blue/violet 5000-7000K. They may not meet Construction and Use Legislation but would be unlikely to fail an MOT as things stand.

I bought some generic bulbs in a multi-pack on Amazon, and had to get a refund as they flickered after a short time of using them - a common complaint. My car isn't installed with CANBUS (wise move Honda) so it wasn't a compatibility issue.So far these have not flickered, are nicely bright and crisp white in colour. Being a big brand with a good reputation, I hope these are going to last well (for the rest of the car's life, if the 25yr MTBF is true).On a side note, the brightness of these during days where you don't need to use main beams must be a safety improvement, as well as modernising the look of a 16 year old car with Daybreaker main bulbs which make ordinary incandescent sidelights look yellow and out of place.

I can't fault these bulbs at all: they're bright, provide nice warm white light that gives my car a modern look. They are built to last, you can tell that even by looking at the pictures: quality item.The only gripe I have with them, is that they come without the built-in ballasts, and this causes them to trigger a dashboard error on some higher-end cars, which actively check for blown bulbs upon engine start, due to the fact that LEDs require less power to run than the filament bulbs.If OSRAM will ever upgrade these bulbs, I'll be sure to buy the upgrade kit straight away, as I haven't seen better LEDs for neither sidelights or interior lights (vanity lights, footwells, etc).They are not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

After doing deliveries in our new work, van for a few days decided it was time we upgraded our interior lights to LEDs as the stock once had like an orange tint to them so searched amazon and found OSRAMAfter installing the new LEDs into the interior found that this pack of LEDs where much brighter and made a big difference to the load area of the van as they are white and not your cool blue like some cheaper brands out there and after five months of using the van every day can confirm they are still going strong, but it's also nice to know they have a five years warranty to full back on that you will probably never needDepending on the make and modal of your vehicle can make this awkward when fitting them due to being small but is also a plus as you don't have to worry about them not working as some of the cheaper brands use more oversized bulbs that don't always fit into the standard light trim
