Sorry, originally put this in the wrong spot....

Hey all, noob here. I wanted to do some cheap mods with led's inside and out.
I've done some research with previous posts on the types to use but have some questions. I've done the dome, map lights, and license plates so far. I don't want to do the parking lights, for fear of melting. Is it worth doing the brake lights, back up lights, and turn signals (i know about the raver flash)? If so, should a red led be put in the brake light, amber in amber light, etc? Are back up lights worth getting in terms of brightness? How many led's should be in the brake, backup? Sorry, lots of questions, but better to know before buying. Thanks!

 

maybe this will help ya out. the parking lights can be replaced with the right leds, see here http://www.oznium.com/194-aluminum . i have these and havnt had any problems and i have bi zenon hids right above them. i just ordered some led back up lights from http://www.superbrightleds.com/ . they have a link to help you find out what your car needs bulb number wise. when i get them in ill have to post up some pics.

 

Thanks for the reply. Should the color be cool white, or the color of the plastic (red, amber, etc) for optimum lighting?

 

for the lights with colored lenses, you can go either way. alot of the brightest leds come in warm or cool white only. i ordered the back ups in 12 led cool white, think when they come in theyre gonna be way brighter.

 

I checked Oznium, but they seem to be out of the aluminums for a while. Wondering if anyone knows of these, or think they'd do the job from autolumination.com. They'd be with stock halogens.

took a look, yea , those should work fine.

 

my reverse lights came in yesterday, so here's some pics. you can see that the stock bulbs are a little brighter, but i prefer the cool white glow, seen on the left in these. couple of pics of the 194's in the front marker light socket in blue, and a couple pics of my new HIDs.

 

That looks great. Hoping to get my HID's soon.

 

i got my back-up lights from superbright LED's, and i got the 15 LED ones. still don't seem bright during the day, but the night they're bright as hell.
