I won't recommend you to buy those parking led I had bought the same from eBay though they look cool and gave car a devilish look but they lasted only 6 days(not reliable) [frustration] . The other led that you selected for indicators however worked fine but I had to cut the wire of the indicator bulb socket . Also note that these led will blink like crazy ( fast ) [confused]when you use indicators ,but for hazardous light (?) they worked fine.

You need to change your relay. Search for an LED flasher relay. It'll flash normally.

Guys please advise, which LED bulbs are suitable to put in TATA Nano for side lamp , rear number plate, cabin lights. Also looking for white bulbs for my Fog lamp.

Side lamps must be T10. I've not changed them in my Nano. Do not change rear number plate lamps as the heat from the engine can damage them. Cabin lights are 36mm or 31mm length. You can get them easily.

You cannot put LED bulbs in fog lamp of Nano. They are H1 type sockets and too small to be bright enough to see on the road.
You can get them online. The present holders can hold the LED bulbs. I've changed my position, brake, interior, indicator and reverse lights.

Thanks for the information. I guess to install the side lamps we need to take out the head -light assembly.

Can we put white bulbs in fog lamp (non LED) ? What is specification for same ? Will relay be required ?

Side lamps as in? Indicator lamps or the lamps on the side of the car? If you mean HIDs then no. The reflector is too small. It'll melt. If you want to put halogens then you can put it provided they are of the same wattage. If you want to put higher wattage then you need relay.

I have installed DIY LED DRLs on my Beast!
The install was so clean that i'm impressed with myself. Zero wiring visible. Zero Drilling, Zero Wire cutting.

Enjoy folks!

Yes i am looking forward to daytime photoshoot. However, I can assure that they're boldly bright. Infact they're working like fog lamps at night. The Illumination covers almost 10ft of the road.
