501 W5W T10 18 SMD 2016 CANBUS White LED Bulbs 12V-24V Non-Polarity – Pair

501 W5W T10 18 SMD 2016 CANBUS White LED Bulbs 12V-24V

Compact, powerful and designed for modern vehicle lighting systems.

Upgrade compatible 501 / W5W / T10 filament bulbs with this advanced 18 x 2016 SMD CANBUS LED design. Each bulb combines eighteen modern LED chips, integrated CANBUS electronics and a compact non-polarity T10 wedge construction to produce a bright, crisp white light with excellent all-round illumination.

Unlike basic single-direction T10 LEDs, this bulb uses LEDs on the front and both sides, helping spread light through the original lamp housing rather than concentrating illumination in one direction.

18 x High-Brightness 2016 SMD LEDs

Each bulb uses 18 individual 2016 SMD LED chips positioned across three illuminated surfaces:

• 6 LEDs on the front
• 6 LEDs on one side
• 6 LEDs on the opposite side

This multi-directional arrangement provides a broad spread of light and helps make effective use of the original reflector or lamp housing.

Bright, Crisp White LED Light

Replace the warm yellow appearance of a conventional W5W filament bulb with a cleaner, more modern white LED appearance.

The 2016 SMD arrangement provides strong illumination while maintaining the compact proportions required for many original T10 / W5W lamp housings.

Integrated CANBUS Electronics

The bulb incorporates substantial electronic components directly into the PCB to improve compatibility with vehicles that monitor their lighting circuits.

• CANBUS-ready electronic design
• Helps reduce bulb-out warning messages
• Helps minimise unwanted LED flicker in many applications
• No separate external resistor required for many vehicles
• Integrated driver and load circuitry

Non-Polarity Design

Unlike many earlier LED replacement bulbs, this version is non-polarity / bi-polar.

That means there is no need to remove the bulb and rotate it 180 degrees if it does not illuminate. Simply insert it into the compatible T10 / W5W socket and it can operate regardless of electrical polarity.

12V-24V DC Compatibility

This LED has been designed for a wide 12V to 24V DC operating range, making it suitable for compatible lighting applications across cars, vans and many commercial vehicles.

Compact T10 / W5W / 501 Fitment

Despite the increased LED count and integrated electronics, the bulb remains exceptionally compact at approximately 24 mm long and 10 mm maximum diameter.

The standard W2.1 x 9.5d wedge fitting is designed as a direct replacement for compatible 501 / W5W / T10 filament bulbs.

Typical Applications

Please check that your vehicle uses a 501 / W5W / T10 bulb and that sufficient space is available inside the lamp housing before ordering.
