I was gonna say put them in the other way!


I have white LEDS from autolumination and they aren't as bright as some of the pics I've seen but they are definitely an improvement!

^ There are two different ones... these are the superstars and they're significantly brighter than the standard neo-wedge.

Oh, they are bright and oh so nice. Mind you, I don't have the lights at full power.

Just ordered 4 blue ones from Oznium, along with enough LED's to light up a small town.

I also added blue ones to mine, I had some other LED's wired in before, but these were a direct replacement! ALOT brighter than the other LED's I had before. I would have rather done these the first time around.

I'm curious to see what the Oznium ones look like. They have lenses on em, so they might not have as wide of an angle...

I have the Oznium ones and will be switching them soon. Going with the ones you posted for wider output.

Default ...No one else paid shipping?...

Disaster MOD for me....
I spent an hour trying to get the dash bazel off carefully so as to not damage the new white paint. Another hour spent trying to disconect the three wiring harnesses.
Is there a tool to dis-engage these harnesses? My fat fingers are way too big.
Once out, it looks nothing like the photo of the philips head wedge, my 2005 box has a flathead slot so thin that no screw driver would fit in.
Now I went halfway down the page before it fully loaded on my dialup, and ordered the wrong bulbs. I got inch long triple led's with no base.
Does anyone know if this company will exchange a product?
I now know to ask for Super Star Neo Wedge Type B in white
79674-S3N-941
79607-SHJ-S01
I had to pay $11.89 with shipping.
So far, for me, two hours spent, $11.89 paid and still counting.
I may have to pay 11.89 twice and this disaster mod will take 10 days.

Yeah, I read forums for 2 hours to figure out what to get exactly.
It's annoying to say the least.
Good luck!

Damn, I wish i'd read this before I ordered the Ozniums. I'll see how they look, if i'm not happy, i'll switch.

Had the dash apart today to wire up some other stuff, so threw the ones in I got from Oznium and nothing. I know they are in correct, really only one way to insert and twist them in. It doesn't seem like the fit in there very well. i didn't want to waste too much time messing with them, I'm gonna toss them and order me up the Autolumination Super Stars.

Don't toss them, they are in backwards. LEDs use polarity unlike the yellow socked amber bulbs. I've got a set from Oz and they are just fine. Of course I also have a set of 1.2" blue and red strips along with the white 4.3" to go across the top. The output is pretty damn bright... I may put a small resistor to tone everything down.

I also put my LED's in and they did not light up, so I took them out and turned them around and twisted them back in. They worked, and look very nice.

Yea, guys. Don't forget, LEDs are polarity sensitive. If it doesn't light up right away, flip em.
