Just ordered (w5w&t10) LED Inverted Blue for Eyelids and Sidemarkers

I just ordered a pack of 10 w5w t10 bulbs for the eyelids and side markers to match. The kind of bulbs i got are not error resistors or anything but i was wondering, Will I be fine with no errors? It was only about $5.00 free shipping so i said forget it its worth a try. Tell me what you think.

Thank you

Well we won't know unless we try it out. $5 for a pack of ten is really tempting. I mean even Polargs cost more.

Someone found something like this before like a year ago and I bought it just to try it out. Was garbage tiny single very tiny LED. I guess decent for display accent lighting, but not for actual lighting anything up.

I tried those 5 SMT LEDs bulbs in the eyelids and they did gave an error. Will have to try those PIAA ones but those cost a lot.

And yes those so called "inverted" leds are trash. Its like basic 5mm led that has kind of a cone drilled on the top to divert the light on the sides. I have like 6 of those lying around, I bought them years ago when there were no other LED technology available but 5mm

Lights were actually really nice, but ofcourse they did set off errors so I took them out I can't drive around like thatt so that's a noo bloow maybe the iJdm error free leds are the way to go
