Whats the diamiter size of the LED hole in the headlight, the one thats in the corner for the LED, because i want to purchase the 9 LED in one bulb but i dont know if it will fit, can someone please help me out here? Check the site below to see which one im talking about...its called "921-x9 Wedge Base LED bulb" tell me if that one will fit please, and if not, than which one will

It looks like those ones will fit, but it might be a snug fit into the housing itself. The connection should be fine. I think as long as it has the 194/168 base you should be good.

 

no i mean i know it will fit, but i just wanna know if it will fit through the housing to actually get it in you know

 

I would personally go with the the T13 or smaller, but the one that you want *should* fit. It's only .6" in diameter. The opening is a good 1/2 - 3/4 inch. Like I said before, it might be snug, but you should be able to push it through with little effort.

 

whats the difference between the T13 and that one? i dont understand the "code language here" as they use T13 lol

 

The T13 is the bulb is located about 2 or 3 above the same one you want on the site you posted. I don't know exactly what T13 means, but I think it's just the model. I do know that it's smaller in diameter with the same base.

 

I've put in the 9-LED 921 sized bulb in the parking lights with no problems. It should fit.

any pics so i can see? please

 

I only put them in there for a short time last year. I didn't take any pics though.

 

why'd u take em out?

 

They're like underwear, need changing regularly, lol. J/K

I had the white ones, originally going to put them in for the reverse lights, but barely put out enough light to see. They're nice and bright for the parking lights, but don't last too long, as most LEDs don't last too long.

I have a few sets of LEDs that I use and swap 'em out from time to time, like white during the week and red for the weekends/shows. I've found that the high-power / 1-Watt LEDs are the brightest, and it's hit or miss on how long they last. A few friends of mine have gone 3-4 months before needing new ones.

 

LEDs don't last a long time? Where did you read/hear that?

Most LEDs have a lifespan of some rediculous number like 100,000 hours - over 10 years.

Granted, you do get a few bad ones, and the environment in which they are used greatly effect the lifespan, but I have had my parking lights in for about 6 mo now and they are still running strong!

How about your gauges? They still working? Those are LEDs...

 

I didn't read it anywhere. I didn't hear it anywhere. I experienced it. Yes, the LEDs normally do not burn out. The resistors do. Why? Halogen bulbs get pretty hot, and the parking light sits near the headlight bulb in the same enclosure (no air circulation for cooling). I've had LEDs last one week. Others have lasted several months. Why? I don't know... quality of parts and assembly maybe.

I've had the same type of LEDs in places that do not get hot and have not had problems with them.

Also, I work in the electronics field, so don't come on here acting all high and mighty . lol

 

I wasn't acting high and mighty - that would insinuate that I know it all, which is not the case. I did say that the environment greatly effects the LEDs - referring to the heat of the halogen bulbs or otherwise. Also, Id like to add that the setup has it's effects. If the resistor is built in a sturdy coating or insulation, that would help.

It seems to be that the quality of the parts and assembly (as you suggested) is the verdict.

Oh, and I too work in the electronics field... not only for a profession but as a side job and hobby. I have been doing this for the last 6 years professionally... longer for a hobby. So, I am pretty well versed in this stuff and will offer and help or suggestion when it's wanted. But I am not afraid to admit when I am wrong or give credit where it's due. If you prove me wrong, more power to you.

 

Alright guys, no need to fight over this lol He said, She said, who cares lol each one of us heard our own stuff you know, not a big deal, i know dont know much about cars and i just want to hook mine up thats why i have these dumb noob questions lol but thanks for both your inputs =D appriciate it guys will post more pix of the car when done with mods hehe =D meanwhile you guys can see the car at the moment at http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...albumId=863415
