T10 W5W wedge-base LED measures 0.35 inches (D) by 0.9 inches (H). Expected life up to 25,000 hours with a two-year warranty.
Clear, Road-Friendly Illumination – With 6000K Cool-White 501 LEDs
Delivers 50 lumens at a 6000K colour temperature, producing a crisp cool-white tone that replicates a 5W halogen's perceived brightness. The 501 LED arrangement focuses light for number plate and side-light applications.
Improves number plate legibility and gives lights a cleaner, modern appearance without glaring neighbouring surfaces.
Low Running Heat and Power Use – Thanks to 0.5W LED Efficiency
Consumes 0.5 watts on a 12V DC circuit, dramatically lower than a 5W halogen, which results in reduced electrical load and minimal heat output. Low-heat operation helps protect surrounding housings and seals.
Reduces energy use and the likelihood of heat-related damage, cutting maintenance needs over many miles.
Quick Fit Installation – With Plug-and-Play T10 Wedge Base
T10 wedge base fits standard W5W sockets, with physical dimensions of 0.35 inches diameter by 0.9 inches height and compatibility with multiple OEM codes listed by the manufacturer.
Allows fast, tool-free swaps for number plate and side lights; confirm vehicle compatibility for CAN bus systems before fitting.
