The TecUpdater T10 High Brightness Type C LED bulb is a 12V halogen replacement designed for vehicles using T10-style wedge sockets. It supports common fitments including:

• T10

• W5W

• 168

• 194

This Type C variant uses 24 pieces of 3014 SMD LED chips arranged in a different configuration compared to other T10 variants. The internal layout and brightness profile are distinct, making it a separate product category within the TecUpdater T10 lineup.

Available colour options:

• White

• Amber

• Blue

Supplied as a pair (2 bulbs).

What Problem It Solves

Factory T10 halogen bulbs typically produce:

• Dull yellow output

• Uneven illumination

• Short lifespan

• Higher heat generation

When vehicles are upgraded with LED headlights or DRLs, halogen interior and parking lights often appear outdated and mismatched.

The T10 Type C LED bulb provides:

• Stronger and cleaner illumination

• Faster response time

• Lower heat compared to halogen

• Improved reflector fill

• Better visual consistency across the vehicle

It is particularly suitable for users who want a high-brightness upgrade while maintaining direct plug-and-play compatibility.

How Type C Differs from Other T10 Variants

TecUpdater offers multiple T10 configurations to address different light spread and brightness needs.

The Type C model:

• Uses 3014 SMD chips instead of 4014

• Has a 24 SMD configuration

• Offers a different light dispersion pattern

• Is positioned as a high-brightness compact option

This ensures customers can choose based on specific brightness and housing requirements without overlapping identical SKUs, helping avoid SEO duplication and product confusion.

Light Output and Colour Options

Each bulb uses 24 high-efficiency 3014 SMD LEDs arranged for multi-directional illumination.

White
Used for interior cabin lighting, license plate lights, glovebox lights, boot lights and parking lamps. Produces a clean modern tone.

Amber
Suitable for side markers, indicator positions, and applications requiring amber output.

Blue
Commonly used for custom interior lighting, footwell lighting and styling applications.

Colour selection must match intended application and local regulations.

CANBUS Compatibility

Modern vehicles monitor bulb resistance and may trigger warning messages when switching from halogen to LED.

This Type C bulb is designed with high CANBUS compatibility to help reduce:

• Dashboard bulb warnings

• Flickering behaviour

• Hyper-sensitive error alerts

Compatibility varies depending on vehicle electronics. In most vehicles, no additional resistors are required.

Typical Applications

Depending on vehicle configuration, common uses include:

• Interior dome lights

• Map lights

• Boot lights

• Glovebox lighting

• License plate lighting

• Parking / position lights

• Side marker lights (amber variant)

Application must be verified based on original bulb type.

Key Compatibility

Compatible with vehicles using:

• T10

• W5W

• 168

• 194

Widely used across vehicles from:

Volkswagen, Skoda, Hyundai, Kia, Tata, Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, Honda and Toyota depending on model and year.

Not suitable for high-power headlight or fog light applications.

Installation Notes

• Direct plug-and-play replacement

• No wiring modification required

• No coding required

• Polarity sensitive – rotate if not illuminating
