Just PM guys lol. That GB isn't a great price at all

I ordered a set up for our HTM , ill let you guys know how they are as soon as i get them!

psh, only if you beat me to it ;D

Pictures greatly appreciated when done.. thinking about this as a first mod unless i can find the friggen tutorial on how to change LED gauge cluster lights... anyone?

I talked to someone who sells these who wants to do a group buy he said he would i just need to know who wants a set .

:bow: (http://vetpetinsurance.blogspot.com/2009/03/pet-insurance-for-cats.html) Great find! These are totally sick lights.

Anybody actually have real pictures of these lights installed. That looks like a Playboy picture...all airbrush baby!

Yea I'll upload in a minute, I blew my relay though so they're off, hang on

WE CAN GET THEM CHEEPER THEN 90 IF WE DO A GROUP BY

ok if we get 5 people to buy its $93.00 for a set shipped
if we get 10 its $83.00 shipped

would it work w/rs5

would it work w/rs5

No.

Not trying to knock these lights but I do hope that any prospective buyers realize that they are strictly for show. If that's what you want, enjoy them but if you're looking for useful driving lights that actually add useful roadway illumination for night driving, please look elsewhere. LEDs just don't have enough light output to be used as fog or driving lights.

^^x2, LED's suck for light output, these aren't fog lights at all, they're driving "show" lights.

ok if we get 5 people to buy its $93.00 for a set shipped

I have to see real pics. Then maybe I'd be in.

eh, girl took my card reader so I'm workin on it guys

Lets see soe pics. How is the quality and what wires did you tap into?

Quality is dope, the fit is on key, everything is perfect except I can't get them to turn on yet haha.

I tapped into the fog lights up front, and Tried to tap the switch into the dimmer inside, and fried something.

So I'll re-wire them to the battery on wednesday and get some pics for you guys lit up

Looking forward to seeing some actual pics. Did you check your fuses?

I think the best thing to do is tap into the side marker lights in the leadlight. I dont even use them I took the bulbs out. I am thinkin if I get these ill get an empty 194 wedge base and make a connection right into the socket. Should be easy...

Can you actually do this without adding a relay for your switch and stuff? just tap them into the parking light wires and they'll come on?

Please let me know, trying to get this ish worked out without spending a fortune

I am pretty sure that would work. As long as these lights require a 12v I don't see any problems. Obviously though if you want a switch you would have to figure something out. But if these are tapped in the parking lights they should come right on. I did something similiar with my puddle lights and they worked fine.

Give it a shot and see what happens I guess :pray:

I doubt you need a relay for these small LED lights. Might want to add some inline fuses though.

I will do this as soon as I get home, and I'll post cell phone pics if I have to for you guys ><

Sorry again for ____ty cell pics, I'll re-wire tonight and get lit pics as well

hey those look really clean.......i like!!!!!!!!

I will do this as soon as I get home, and I'll post cell phone pics if I have to for you guys ><

Blah blah blah. More pics with the VS-XX's and springs. :tap:

That is sweet a big change i bet it looks nice at night

very interesting. Can't wait to see the night pics.

those definitely look sick

How hard is the install? What does it involve? Im liking the way they look.

I was just thinking of this the other day....How dope it be to turn the vent slits into DRL's!....hahaha

weird.

I will do this as soon as I get home, and I'll post cell phone pics if I have to for you guys ><

leave it to you to notice I put the new springs on

all I've got for now, the rest are held hostage on my card

aside from me being a rookie with wiring, all you do is

remove vents

drill vents

stick lights to vents

install vents

it did require removal of the front bumper.

WOW lights looking real slick!!!!and you have an amazing xB :bow: that color just flows with the seconed gen body so well.. My Hat off to you Sir keep it up.

I still miss the flat green, Ev.

So these install over the stock vent plates? Ok less talk, more night shots!

i wanna see night pics......anyone?

Looks good! You going to paint the centers of the VS-XX's camo green?

WOW lights looking real slick!!!!and you have an amazing xB :bow: that color just flows with the seconed gen body so well.. My Hat off to you Sir keep it up.

Thank you sir ;D

I still miss the flat green, Ev.

I know, me too wish I coulda finished it that color

call the _____ in the civic and scream at her for me =D

but like he said, its just so steezy on the gen tweezy!

Okay, I'll go to BB to get a reader, re-wire the lights until they work, and get some pics within the next 2 days

Nice, sounds like a pretty straightforward install then.

I believe Audi uses Osram Golden dragon LEDs for their DRLs and they are definitely bright enough to be seen during the day. They also have an all LED headlight option on the R8, for only 8 grand more!

Those are the correct type but that is on the new A4 there are different on the A5 and R8. The Lumes are about 55 which is pretty bright for a LED. I think the headlights do something in the 100 or 1000.

Yeah http://tinyurl.com/dk62n3

Yeah http://tinyurl.com/dk62n3
I think the misunderstanding going on here revolves around the word "driving" lights. If you want DRLs, then LEDs work fine. They are very bright to look directly at, although they throw off very little light (almost none) over any distance. The link above notes that: Thanks to the latest chip technology and the special SMT package, these LEDs produce a uniform white light with a brightness of 18 lumen. It also refers to: Golden DRAGON high-power LEDs that underline the sleek elegance of this high-performance model. The LED for brilliant white daytime running light has a brightness of 50 lumen.

To give you some lumens for comparison, the xB2 reverse light that many people feel barely lights anything up for backing visibility produces just under 400 lumens, and our H11 halogen headlights are in the 1200 lumen range.

All that said, if you're looking for show lights or DRL's then these new LEDs for the fake front vents are fine. If on the other hand, you are actually looking for something that will provide significantly improved forward visibility from the driver's perspective while driving at night or in fog, then these are not your answer.

i think it looks nice

Agreed. I was just pointing out that there are LEDs that are in fact used for DRLs and Headlight applications. These are definitely just for SHOW.

whos in for a set ?

looks like im going to just buy a set cant do a group buy with 2 people

If we could actually get some lit pics I may be in for a set. People keep pushing these lights but I have yet to see them on...

yep

Sorry to thread jack, but Cionide, what kind of lumens do HIDs produce mainly 4300k and 5000k?

If you google "HID lumens" there is a lot of info (not all in agreement), but this seemed to give some numbers:
http://www.billetmyride.com/hid-kits-high-intensity-discharge.html

This article will explain why halogen vs. HID is not just about the difference in lumens:
http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/bulbs/Hid/conversions/conversions.html

I've been wanting something like this for my 1st gen xB :)

saw these online, would love to see a set lit at night, might buy a set, thanks

Come on already PIC PLEASE !!! Its been like a month already. hahaha...... :nails:

bump :lalala:

damn it has been a month, I'll be workin on the car today so hopefully I can get them to work without destroying any more of the car!

:yawn: bump

I'll be workin on the car today so hopefully I can get them to work without destroying any more of the car!
These are becoming very expensive accent lights. :money:

sorry peeps.. just not feelin these l.e.d.s. ... if they were replacements for the "vents" then maybe

sorry peeps.. just not feelin these l.e.d.s. ... if they were replacements for the "vents" then maybe
Maybe I missed something here meatcutter, but these are replacements for the fake "vents".

from what I read they mount over the vents...

Oh OK, now I got ya. I must have missed that part. :doh:

Had to rub it in, didn't ya. :P

My bad. :loser:

:lol: YUP!!! that's ok.. I won't hold it against you..

I chose to go a different route for a driving light solution... replaced my amber incandescent front turn signals with V-LEDS dual color front LED turn signal bulbs. "HID" white running lights that blink amber when the turn signals are on. Sorry for the bad pics, my camera sucks and has a dead battery.
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg208/Cionide/LEDdrivinglights.jpg

Can't wait to put in HID headlights, so they don't look yellow.
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg208/Cionide/LEDheadlights.jpg

oooooooo NICE!!!!

I know this is an old thread, but I found it looking for info on the bumper lights.

I stole Cionide's idea and just ordered the White/Amber Vleds (5k) for the front turns, and also ordered a Vled for the backup light. Hope it makes it brighter.

Should have these, and a billet grill to install by weeks end :)

whats the vled bulb that goes into those driving light slots? dont have manual with me :(

sorry peeps.. just not feelin these l.e.d.s. ... if they were replacements for the "vents" then maybe

Like these?

http://www.oznium.com/scion-xb-front-led

these are interesting

i just ordered a set of these! its a cheap mod thatll look sick with the fog lights i just ordered and the oem halo lights w/led's i just installed. it does say driving fog lights so i wouldnt expect them to put out that much light but i still think theyll look good on my xb gen2.

Another option, if you are electrically inclined is to make your own like I did. Two rows of 5mm LEDs (15 per row) drilled in each false vent, I also drilled 6 LEDs around each projector and 12 in the space above the turn signal. For a total of 96 white LED added to the front of the xB. In between the rows of white LEDs on each false vent are a row of 14 amber LEDs tied to the turn signals.

those vent lights look pretty good. Might have to get them afterall.

i've been thinking about doing this sort of mod for the bumper's fake grilles, but using amber lights instead.. buuuuuut i didn't realize the trd cold air intake would replace the driver side grille with a functional vent with a TRD logo. now i kinda wish the CAI used the passenger side too. what's another couple of inches of piping? :tongue:

these look sick :)

nice, similar to the 350z

Like these?
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/weaver3294/DSC_0272.jpg

http://www.oznium.com/scion-xb-front-led

where do we find that scion logo on the front grill ??? iv never seen 1 that lights up

I've noticed that the vleds in the turns make the blinker blink like its on crack. Also saw the same thing with a Chevy panel truck at work, that has led's in the tail lights.

Whats the cause?

It has to do with the amount of power that is required to power the LED's. Since they require less power to run than the stock bulbs it assumes that one of your lights is out and blinks rapidly. They sell a replacement flasher that gets rid of the rapid blinking. Just look here LINK (http://www.scionlife.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162980)

Thanks. Is there really a negative to the fast flashing, other than wearing out the normal bulbs quickly? It does not bother me, and there are some cons to adding that second part.

It has to do with the resistance of the bulb, the LED bulbs have little to no resistance while an incandesent bulb is much higher. There are two way to fix it. Change the flasher or put a resistor in line with the new bulb. Both will fix the fast flashing problem.

No I don't think that the fast flashing will hurt anything. If it doesn't bother you then I wouldn't worry about it. I have both the flasher and the bulbs and have been thinking about putting the stock flasher back in because I kinda like my lights flashing when I lock my car.

Yeah, that was one of the cons. It does not bother me, so I think I'll just leave it alone. Its actually amusing how quick it flashes.

It's like you're turning in fast forward. :P

I am turning in fast forward :)

Those are really slick, though it looks like another good reason for the cops around here to pull me over. /paranoia :relief:

I wanted em, but now with the TRD CAI vent there, not gonna happen.

Those are really slick, though it looks like another good reason for the cops around here to pull me over. /paranoia :relief:

It should not be a reason for a cop to pull you over. The Audi S5 has them on the grill but now if you got bunch of mods then probably.

Do you have any close up pics of the area above the turn signal? I thought that was a perfect area for some additional lighting and would like to see how you did it. Thanks

This is the replacement flasher to get rid of the hyper-flash; but as you've read above, when you put it in you no longer have the blinking turn signals when you use the key remote to lock/unlock the doors. It still beeps, but no more flash.
