Default Showing off my parking light LED's

.
.
.
So I ordered some 360 degree LED's from SuperBrightLeds.com for my parking lights and I just wanted to show off how they look. I hope they don't burn up in there, but I'll let you know if they last. The pic's are only with the parking lights on and no low or high beam.





What do you think? I just need HID's next.

Be prepared for the heat of the headlight to shorten their life.

I have an LED bulb in my headlight from pepboys and its been working for over 3 years and im quite surprised they won't die. They are made by Pilot. I tried another style on before, much like the one you are showing and it lasted 5 days before the LED practically desoldered itself while running HIDs. It was to dangerous and could of caused more harm then good so i put the old reliable leds back in.

Just keep an eye on them cause one day you may have a loose led inside your headlight just rolling around.

i had ones in my car from superbrightleds and they worked perfect for like 6 months perfectly. i just decided to go a diferent route and take em off but they should work for quite some time.

and if it falls off and u have a led rolling around in ur headlight its a PAIN to get out

I just pulled out my parking light bulbs altogether ... don't see the point in having them anyway, since my HIDs drown all of their light. The 09 headlights have them separated (in the high beam housing) I believe.

SMD are definitely the way to go though, much better than the 5mm etc that burn out super quick. I've had SMD in my license plate lights for a while and on LED burnt out but rest are still going strong, haven't tried them in the headlight though. All 194's etc usually have the disclaimer not to use w/ headlights as it shortens life plus when on you can't see them anyway in the pre-'08 headlight, like mentioned above.
