I should think so. Other members have also used the 15 led ones.

Have a read at this as well:

They're good quality but I found they're not the most secure in the holder. One of mine fell out into the lamp unit and was a right pain to get out.

Got these in my sidelights now

I tried these in the RS but have just changed them to the 15 led version.

The only issue with this type of LED is that the base is made from plastic and they tend to melt!

Ultra had problems when they first brought out the 501s and changed the design to metal ( of some kind) to help disperse the heat, Upgraded Versions

As far as the rear number plate bulbs, i think you will find that on a pre face lift ST and the older Focus they are festoon types and not LED's

Similar to these!

Festoon

the facelift has 501 for the numberplate

oh its a 58 plate

 

[Pete]

I know this thread is a bit old now, but can anyone confirm which LED bulb would be best suited for the rear numberplate of a pre-facelift?

Cheers,
Pete.

[Sir Ade]

I am using this type for my number plate bulbs

 

[spike]

are the numberplate bulbs not 501s?

How long is the bulb shown above?

 

[Chris]

The Face lift ones are 501s

 

[Chris]

These are the ones i fitted

to my pre facelift

http://www.bettercarlighting.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=96

 

[spike]

The Face lift ones are 501s

Thanks for the clarification, anyone know what the pre facelift ones are spec'd as? You can get the long bulb in different lengths.

 

[Chris]
