I need these lol where from.

Cheers
Ali express, though you can get them on eBay or Amazon ! Just make sure you select the correct ones, I bought the single led ones instead of the three led ones by mistake originally...

They look good are they your mirrors
Yes, I went for smoked 'glass' so they look black, like the mirrors themselves

They seem to be working fine, no faults on dash etc

Just waiting for someone to tell me they're illegal ....

Under the Construction and Use regulations 1973 the Indicator lights or side position lights should not emit a light brighter than 10w or be in a position to dazzle or distract another road user. they should be no higher than 160cm above the ground unless paired with a repeater lamp that will work in unison. Later amended by EEU directive 1268/2006 sub section 4b paragraph 23.
And that your worships is the case for the prosecution.

I bought a pair of the non tinted version last year. Was not too sure if they would get through the MOT, but they did with no problems.
I had to change the ballast resistors for different values, as the originals tripped the CanBus bulb fault detection.

Mine came with no resistors, so I was unsure as to whether I would get any faults but it's early days yet.

I'd be interested in what you did, just in case? How did you get rid of the faults, did you need to reset anything or did they just disappear when you added different resistors?
 
Bought mine last year and had no issues with the MOT. Found this company online they have a risistor in then. 5 minutes to fit and worked with no issue, I bought the smoked one as they blend in with the mirror arms.

We are away in New Zealand at present Dave, so not able to see what value the original resistors were and what exchanged them too. Mine threw up the bulb out fault as soon as I switched on an indicator with the original resistors, so as you're have not, then maybe the newer ones are CanBus compliant now.

Jeez my van is super illegal then I have different back lights with sweeping indicators LED rear numberplate bulbs, sweeping mirror indicators like these black LED side markers, LED headlamp conversion, all been on for over two years lets see what the mot guys say next month

forgot to say, LED bulbs last way longer and produce less wattage so can throw up can bus issues if you don't have the correct resistors (1amp inline) I think I prefer to have everything working for a long period of time than the old super hot bulbs blow for fun and tend to melt in the holders.
 
They better be legal as I got them factory fitted as part of my optional extras hit list! Lol I think they are known as Fiat full led technology lighting, have to say they're fantastic compared to the standard and never had any strange warnings on the dash, goodness knows what they cost as I had closed my eyes on the optional extras prices by then! 🤣

I think these may have been fitted by your van builder as they are not a fiat Citroen or Peugeot item, those rear lights come from Van x
 
Thankfully that was all done at the factory so I've never had any issues, I rarely keep anything long enough to get to MOT so I'm not concerned about that but I'm sure they must be legal anyway or they couldn't sell them
 
Not cheap and my wife not suitably impressed but had to have em
