This score indicates how well this product performs against a vehicle's CANBus warning system.
9/10 means that this product will work for most vehicles however there is always a chance a warning error will still appear.
Most modern cars today use a system to continuously detect faults – known as CAN-Bus. These bulbs are CAN-Bus enabled and will eliminate those annoying warning lights when your car thinks it has a faulty bulb.
Cree is the Rolls Royce of LED technology recognised the world over. Most major manufacturers of LED products use Cree LEDs. This particular bulb uses 6 Cree LEDs and gives off 360 degrees of light.
Although your vehicle battery is used for all the electrics any saving in power has to be a good thing. These bulbs will give a greater light output (750 Lumens) than the standard bulb (300-400 Lumens) but use much less power - a win win!
One of the many advantages with LED bulbs over the standard is the length of time they will last. LED bulbs will significantly outperform standard replacement bulbs and should give 4000 hours or more of trouble free use. Unlike some other more inferior LEDs the light output with a Cree LED will not deteriorate over time.
We are so confident with this range that we offer a full no quibble 3 year guarantee....

these bulbs are brilliant, fantastically bright and they work. I ordered 3 sets from Amazon all claiming not to give error codes and all 3 where returned. Found these on line and they worked brilliant and did what they said on the tin :-)
Superb service as well.
Advantages: super bright (and off don't look like an indicator bulb giving my motorbike a brilliant look)
Disadvantages: none.

Well engineered bulbs that presented no problems in fitting.
Advantages: The bulbs give a crisp, bright indication and are a big improvement on the standard bulb.
Disadvantages: The bulbs flashed irregularly. ABD were extremely helpful and agreed to replace the units with items that overcome the problem

Fitted these to my BMW X5. When direct sunlight falls on the original bulbs they can be hard to see. Fitted these and you get a much sharper and brighter light so a good safety feature in my opinion.

Great upgrade from stock halogen bulbs, much brighter and more colourful. Worked right away with no coding, flickering or warning lights.
Advantages: Much brighter and alerts other road users more, nicer colour than stock halogen bulbs, last longer, use less power, win win.
Disadvantages: Packaging could be better mine didn't come in the tubes like in the pic advertised and it said nothing about what type of bulb it was. ie 581 PY21W etc which when you've ordered a couple of different fitments for other areas of the car is a bit of a pain as you can't tell which is which without taking them all out the packet.

These LED units were purchased to replace orange lacquered indicator light bulbs to overcome the problem of losing the orange colour, causing the indicators to become white and fail the MoT.
Advantages: Remain orange, do not cause a light bulb warning failure to appear, operate at the correct indicator frequency, all as a direct drop in replacement.
Disadvantages: More expensive than filament light bulbs, but solves many problems..

I had tried several led bulbs from different companies who claimed their bulbs were error free when upgrading from normal bulbs all of which had errors. Then i happened to find Autobulbsdirect, excellent products and exceptional customer service, they really go above and beyond to make sure the customer is happy.
Advantages: Every other led indicator bulb i tried all came with the same problem, hyperflashing, these companies then wanted to sell me other resistors etc, but these bulbs from ABD have everything already within the bulbs, result, no hyperflashing. Dont try any other company for led bulbs, get from ABD, you wont be disappointed.
Disadvantages: Absolutely none.

After a sucessful trial of side light and stop/tail LED bulbs I replaced indicators this time. Unlike the cheap weak bulbs you often see that fail quickly these are of factory fitted standard and quality
Advantages: Bright, particularly in the day when filament bulbs aren't always as visible. Low battery usage so you can leave your hazards on for ages without flattening the battery. Never fade to white like filament indicator bulbs with the amber film on so no need to prematurely replace an otherwise good bulb
Disadvantages: Not E-marked so keep your filament originals if you have a particularly militant pedantic MoT test station

It works perfectly with Seat Arona. Rear direction light has been replaced and it did not generate any Can-Bus error message. The blinking frequency has been slightly increased from 74 to 80 /min. but it is still perfect. The brightness is increased but it is not too bright. The light fully fills the lamp. So all in all it is perfect so far.
Advantages: Se above
Disadvantages: There was a couple of days delay in the international transport.

I bought these with the ABD resistor kit and they don't work together on a Volvo V70 without bringing on the bulb failure warning message and the indicator going about twice as fast as it should. So far the red Twenty20 Cree LED bulbs don't work either on this car so I would ignore the little ABD video and do your own research as to what works on your particular car, especially if it's a Volvo.
Advantages: Bulbs are bright and give good colour through the lens.
Straightforward fitting.
Disadvantages: Flash way too fast.
Brings on the 'Bulb Failure' warning message, even with the ABD resistor kit fitted.
Our Reply: Please note the ABD resistor kit is a 10W resistor and may not always be compatible with a 21W application such as indicators or break lights. In this instance, we would recommend using the 21W resistor kit by Osram as described in the video.

Great light output but could be better if the flash rate wasn’t so badly affected
Advantages: Significantly brighter for thos sunny days
Disadvantages: Needs external resistors to correct the flash rate. Why can’t these be integrated by the manufacturer?
Our Reply: Resistors are included as part of the bulb but it's still not the same resistance as a standard bulb as a major benefit of LED is the lower power draw.
Hyper flashing on LED indicators can also be fixed with LED flasher relays that are available on our website.

I ordered these bulbs using the car registration finder but unfortunately they weren’t compatible with my car, despite fitting and illuminating they gave dash screen errors and hyper-flashed.
A quick email to ABD and they offered a full refund with free return postage so although the bulbs themselves weren’t correct, the customer service was excellent.
Advantages: Very bright and look discreet in clear lenses.
Long life and warranty.
Disadvantages: Unfortunately, incompatible with my ST 3 without fitting a resistor kit which sort of defeats the object of expensive plug and play bulbs.
Our Reply: Unfortunately some vehicles still evade even the latest canbus compatible technology. In this instance adding resistors or fitting an LED flasher relay would resolve the issue.

I bought 4 of these to replace all the indicator bulbs on my car., for extra brightness next to the headlights and for longevity.
Worked perfectly in the front, but in the rear, even though Canbus type, triggered the backup system in the C-Class and did not function.
Had very helpful email discussions with ABD, who suggested alternatives, but decided it was simpler to return the pair planned for the rear. No problem with ABD and the return process was simple and the refund prompt
Advantages: Easy to fit and bright for when indicators are closely adjacent to the headlights.
Disadvantages: ALthough Canbus type did not work in the rear indicators.
