Product Information

Full details

This MotoLEDy W21/5W LED bulb is designed for vehicle owners seeking to upgrade their lighting to dual-color functionality, offering Xenon White and Orange light options for turn signals, parking lights, and DRLs. Its key benefit is the advanced dual-filament simulation, where the white light turns off when the orange turn signal is active, mimicking factory LEDs. A key caveat is that a 25W 6-ohm resistor may be required for certain vehicles to prevent hyper-flashing, and this product is intended for off-road use only.

FAQs

What does 'CANBUS' mean for this bulb?

CANBUS refers to a built-in system designed to prevent your vehicle's computer from detecting the LED bulb as a 'blown bulb,' which can cause dashboard error messages and hyper-flashing. It works on many compatible vehicles.

Will I need a load resistor with this bulb?

A 25W 6-ohm load resistor may be required for some vehicles, especially those without factory LED turn signals, to prevent hyper-flashing. This bulb is designed to work without one on many CANBUS-equipped cars, but check your vehicle's compatibility.

Can I use this bulb for my brake lights?

This bulb is specifically designed as a W21/5W replacement for applications like turn signals, parking lights, and DRLs where dual-color functionality is needed. It is not intended as a direct replacement for red brake light applications.

What is the lifespan of this LED bulb?

The MotoLEDy W21/5W LED bulb has an estimated lifespan of up to 50,000 hours under optimal operating conditions.

How does the white light turn off when the orange light is on?

This bulb uses a smart dual-color technology that mimics factory LED systems. When the turn signal (orange light) is activated, the circuitry within the bulb automatically switches off the white light component.

Is this bulb street legal?

No, this product is intended for off-road use only and is not officially approved for use on public roads.

What are the dimensions of the bulb?

The dimensions are compatible with standard W21/5W (7443, 7444) bulbs, with specific compatibility noted for Jeep vehicles.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not light up

Ensure the bulb is correctly seated in the socket. Check for bent pins. If polarity is an issue (though this bulb is non-polar), try flipping it 180 degrees.

Rapid blinking (hyper-flashing) of turn signals

Install a 25W 6-ohm load resistor (sold separately) in parallel with the LED bulb, or replace the vehicle's turn signal flasher relay with an LED-compatible one.

Dashboard error message (e.g., 'blown bulb' or 'check signal light')

The CANBUS system may not be compatible with your specific vehicle. Install a 25W 6-ohm load resistor (sold separately) to resolve this.

White light stays on when orange light is active

This behavior is not standard for this bulb. Ensure the correct bulb model is installed and that there are no wiring issues in the vehicle.

Dim or incorrect color output

Verify the bulb is fully seated. Ensure the correct bulb type (W21/5W, 7443, 7444) is installed. For orange light through red lenses, ensure the silver diodes have sufficient penetration.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Dual-color white and orange light in one bulb
  • Mimics OEM LED behavior for turn signal/DRL switching
  • CANBUS compatibility to avoid dashboard errors
  • Long lifespan of up to 50,000 hours
  • Low power consumption and heat generation
  • Enhanced brightness with 1400lm output

Cons

  • May require an additional 25W 6-ohm resistor for proper function (sold separately)
  • Intended for off-road use only, not officially approved for road traffic
  • Potential for rapid blinking (hyper-flashing) in some vehicles even with CANBUS
  • Silver diodes might not fully penetrate very dark red lenses for optimal orange output
  • Requires verification of vehicle's bulb socket type before purchase

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification:

  1. Identify Bulb Type: Confirm your vehicle uses a W21/5W, 7443, or 7444 bulb type. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or check the existing bulb.
  2. Socket Check: Ensure the physical dimensions are compatible with your vehicle's socket, particularly for Jeep models.
  3. Resistor Requirement: Be aware that some vehicles may require a 25W 6-ohm load resistor (sold separately) to prevent hyper-flashing (rapid blinking) or dashboard error messages, especially if the vehicle did not originally have LED turn signals.

Installation:

  1. Disconnect the vehicle's battery for safety.
  2. Access the bulb housing for the W21/5W bulb.
  3. Remove the old incandescent bulb.
  4. Insert the MotoLEDy W21/5W LED bulb, ensuring it is seated correctly.
  5. If required, install the load resistor according to its instructions, typically wired in parallel with the LED bulb circuit.
  6. Reconnect the vehicle's battery.
  7. Test the lights (parking lights, DRLs, turn signals).

Care:

  • Cleaning: The LED bulbs themselves require minimal care. If the lens housing is dirty, clean it with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Inspection: Periodically check connections to ensure they are secure.

Important Note: This product is intended for off-road use only and is not certified for public road use.
