I was wondering what the lights closest to the grill is called? The ones that flash when you set the alarm or go on when you go halfway on the headlight switch.

I want to install a white LED replacement, so what is the largest diameter that I can go? I would hate it if they wouldn't fit into the headlight.

Thanks much in advance, mike

 

The turn signals / parking lights are 1157

--> Scion xB light bulb sizes

 

i think those have to be amber

 

From my motorcycle days I recall asking a few cops, turn signals have to light up amber, but the bulb/LED itself does not have to be amber in color. We used a variety of chrome colored bulbs/LED that lit up amber but were easier on the eyes.

 

I have chrome bulbs that light up amber (not LEDs)

autoillumination.com
has 1157 led's that are white when used as markers but switch to amber when a turn/hazard signal almost all they wat to bottom of page "switchback"

Dang! $25 each?

 

now that is a bad a$$ bulb.

I just run white bulbs in mine and have never had a problem.

 

thanks for all the responses!! but my question was sorta the dimemsions of the light itself. I would hate if I ordered the perfect light that wouldnt fit into the housing.

Also, these aren't for the indicators on the far ends of the lights. I am looking for the lights closest to the center. They flash when the alarm is set, along with the wing mirrors and the rear lights.

The autoillumination page is quite hard to navigate. Frankly, it seems like it was made by a first year computer science student.

thanks much, mike

 

Agreed, their site is VERY tough to navigate.

 

I installed 1157a/st sylvania silverstar $10 pair. looks great

 

nice idea for a bulb

 

They're ur turn signals.

 

dangit. i just realized those are the turn signals. i always thought that the orange reflectors on the side were the indicators.

i really like the idea of the dual color led but its expensive. are there any laws on a white colored turn signal? i see people changing to white rear signals around my area but is it legal?!

thanks, mike

 

spend the money and get the right bulb (dual color) save yourself the ticket in the long run first they get you for a white bulb then they start pulling tickets out of their **** to hassle you about

 

yes you can only have 4 white lights on at a time thats why fog lights turn off when you hit the high beems

 

that seems like quite a strange requirement.

anyone install the 1157 dual color LED? i read something about it needing a load resistor? is that true or did i misunderstand?

thanks, mike

 

NEW PROBLEM!!!!

i ordered the standard white replacement LED and now the indicators are blinking faster than before!

any ideas???? they were $26 a piece from autolumination i really would hate to have to order another set....

please help! thanks much, mike

 

They need resistors. The LEDs don't draw as much power so your car thinks a bulb is blown.

 

the more leds you add to your system the faster they will blink you can order a relay that corrects this from them also
first items on page the one on far right is for our cars just replace the stock one its undr the dash cant remember where
