Is Mitsubishi the only place to get one of these? I looked it up in the book and ordered an LED version of that type from Ebay but it's nowhere close to fitting.

is it a T15 wedge? I wouldnt replace it with a LED as the light spectrum will be different and not work well with that reflector / lens.

I'm pretty sure you could fit a T10 wedge in there also , I'm not sure if a LED would trigger any Can-bus etc , but might be worth a try

From memory the manual says its a W16W, which is also a came up a T15, so I ordered on of those and no go.

I know in my BA LED's in the stop lamps give Can-bus issues with cruise control.

I will try a T10 maybe.

I tried two types of combined stop/tail globes in my 380 and went back to standard

First one caused cruise control to disengage when lights turned on

Second caused dash & park lights to come on when brake applied

Of course these have a common earth point and I believe in some case combined LEDs just manipulate the applied voltage to alter brightness for stop and/or tail - ie all LEDs in the array are used for both functions, and hence problem with unwanted feedback to other circuit

May not be case in stand alone central brake light, as my front (standalone) parkers are LED and don't cause canbus or other issues

Will be interested to hear if any one has found a brand of combined stop tails that works OK?
