I had bad luck replacing the fog lights with bubs from autoillumination. i had 3 fog lights burn out last year alone. Since switching to the Piaas, I havent had aproblem. it may be a coincidence, but it also may be a case of you get what you pay for

for the vanity mirror lights i found dome light bulbs that are 8mm wide and 28 mm long... i was wondering if this would fit.. apparently the stock bulb is 6mm x 30 mm... can the somewhat fatter and and shorter bulb be shoved in and work?

You need at least one resistor (or bulb) on at least one of the 3 rear lights.
You can put the LED back in the third brakelite, just go to Autozone and buy a ceramic resistor thing for LED lights and stick it on one of em.
Do a search on this, you will find other posts from me about this.
-C
p.s. and yes, you will need 4 resistors, one for each turn signal to make those work right.

i just bought sylvania h7 su (SilverStar ULTRA High Performance Halogen) they are for the larger lights in the headlight correct? the main lights. will they fit? if i had xenon headlights would these lights be brighter then the xenon? on autolumination.com which 194 bulbs and h11 bulbs shine the brightest in a superwhite/blue effect for my inner headlight lights an side markers and fog lights?

What kind of LED's do you guys use in your clear corners? I have gone through 3 sets of LED's from RX8Strakes.com! I opened up my box to put in a new LED that was flickering in my right clear corner and the 1st bulb that I put in didnt even work, then the second bulb I used the color seems alittle off on the tiny LEDS that make up the bulb.
So I need some help..
Where can I get the best quality LED bulbs for my clear corners? Price isnt an issue because I just spent $60 on LEDs that I have to change every month or two.
Please help, this shouldnt be happening!
Can you guys post up some links to where I can quickly purchase the LED's..that would be great!
Thanks!
Jeff

You need somesort of resistor for some LED bulbs. You just cannot put a 194 into the signalling bulbs straight on. Some LED has in built resistors and they are specific for the signal bulb and they will be fine then.

I really like the high power flank LED bulbs.
It makes the side marker signal mod work better for those folks that can't see you signalling from the side.
Adding a resistor to each side should lengthen the life of your bulbs considerably.
Another thing that can make a difference is if you are not totally switched over to LED.

Can someone confirm this?
I thought the 9005 and H9 bulbs worked in the high beams????????
Update:
According to Daniel Sterns lighting page H9 does not equal 9005
