I was wondering where can i get led bulbs for my parking light, front turn signals, reverse light, and back turn signals? i know about superbrightleds but thats about it. Can anyone give me any other good site to buy it from?

 

here is a good a cheaper$$$ site:

http://autolumination.com/

 

this is a great reference:

you might want to becareful because there have been a lot of people who have replaced bulbs in their headlight and taillight fixtures only to have them go out after a little while do to excess heat. Just a word of caution.

 

^^I wouldn't think that the tail lights would get that hot.

Two words of caution though: hyper blink. :p

 

I didn't know for certain bout the tail lights. Your prolly right that they don't get as hot as the head light housing.

Hyperblink is an issue though. I forget what you have to do to fix that, but you can do a search on here to find a remedy or two.

 

You will have hyper blink if you don't install resistors in your front and rear turn signals. You don't want to look like the "primer=the new gray-fart sounding-tricked out-Honda" do you?

Here's a breakdown my LEDs/lights...
1. Parking lights= Varad Pro LED 194 (Lots of colors to choose from.)
2. Front Turn Signals= PIAA 7440 Mirror Orange (Gives the Headlights a 'clean' look.)
3. Reverse Lights = 921-x12 LED Wedge Base Bulbs (I needed something brighter because I painted my TYCs red. 12 LEDs are bright.)
4. Rear Turn Signals= Stock. (Unless you want to install resisitors with your LEDs.)
5. Side Marker and Rear License Plate Lights= jlevistreetwerks.com (I have Amber in the Side Markers and White for the Rear License Plate Lights. $10 for 2 bulbs. Good deal and they are bright!)

 

I tried to replace my reverse lights with those... but it kept blowing the fuse. Had to put stock bulbs back in.... anybody know why?

 

to stop hyperblinking after the swap get this

Product: LED bulb Flasher Units $ 12.95 (each)
Options: CF18-08
i got mine on superbrightleds.com

 

check this thread out, it will give you a parts list:

only issue i have now is that after the swap out, my keyless does not flash the lights when i hit lock/unlock.

 

Sounds like a short. I dont know why the LED would cause it.
I havnt had any experience with that particular one tho'.

Double check your installation maybe?

 

no one has any anything brighter than autoillumination the link posted above.. number of led's dosent mean crap.. its the type of led.. read there descriptions, some are meant for constant on w/ heatsinks built in, then there are some for part time use.. like blinkers and backups as they will get hot and kill themselves.. but you could have them blink forever and be fine.. its the constant on that gets ya.. and generaly w/ that site, you want the more expenseive ones.. the front for sure you want at least 3W of output.. a/ side firing led's as well..

 

Hmm...that's interesting because when I had the x4 LEDs in the reverse lights, you couldn't see much at all. Once I installed the x12 LEDs, You can see them quite well and even in the daytime. So go figure.

cause its better to have less quantity high power led's vs numerious crappy 3 or 5mm led's.. i have one led in my backup and i bet its brighter than you 12

 

if i just wanted to change the reverse lights, I wouldnt need the flasher correct?
Has anyone changed the reverse lights to leds and had any problems?

I believe someone said that the matrix leds would be best for the reverse lights because the housing is reflective, but rhino74 said he got a short?

 

i've never had a problem.. shouldnt ever get a short.. still will be very dim no matter which led's you get.. that small a space will never match an incandecent

 

im gonna try to resolve the brightness by getting the matrix leds that light up all sides, since the housing is reflective for the reverse lights. like this:

 

nice info! watching!

 

i m gonna hack up my own reverse LED light with 9 or so of those white 10mm LED with 140,000MCD. i'll put a resistor every 3 LED and run a 12dcV VR to protect it from voltage spike during start up. what do you guys think?
