Looks really good Exodus. You said they are LED? What type did you use and are they brighter than the stock incandescent bulbs? I link to them would be gret.

 

Dingo,

Since you have these reverse LED bulbs laying around after you installed your retina searing anti-tailgater laser cannons, whould you be willing to sell them to me? Are they brighter than the OEMs?

Sending a PM...

I'll have to check that out... I haven't really examined the tail light section before.

 

I see that they have 2 variations, i'm thinking this is the correct bulb: 921 18 LED Tower LED Bulb. Only 15mm diameter x 46mm overall. 18 (3 forward + 15 side facing) Super Hi-Powered Super-Flux leds Emit Light in All Directions. http://superlumination.com/906.htm

 

These are the ones that are brighter than OEMs? Are these the same as the MAP lights, or are these a little longer? They look similar though.

Sort of a side question relating to this. Once i get the tail light housing off, could I just change out all the bulbs in there for LED? I sort of recall reading something about the brake lights needing some extra stuff because they Dim... but i could be making that up.

 

Could I replace the amber turn signal bulbs for LEDs without any other devices?

 

Thanks!

 

And Dingo I sent you a PM about those bulbs.

Dingo, would the 912 HID kits work, no problem? Just concerned about heat build-up and melting the housings. Also, what are the specs on the bright LED's your referring too? Just trying to decide if I want to gamble with HID kits or try and get the brightest LEDs, I can.

 

Thanks!

 

FYI, here's the HID kit I am looking at:

I don't like the looks of that kit. The base wouldn't work well with the lamp socket, and the connector looks like trouble. The LEDs are these: http://www.v-leds.com/5K-WHITE-19-LED-8W-HIGH-p9507296-1-2.html

That V-Led link did not work for me :(

 

I would be ver interested in the best LED option(s) for my edge - Backup lights, tails, and Blinks.

 

I am also interested in the front LED's but I saw the switchback video and they did not look bright and could not even tell they were working when the

headlights were on.

 

Can I get some V-Led Part numbers ??

 

thanks -
