hey guys...

has anyone tried the 25 Led SMT Tower III in the 194 from www.autolumination.com for the park lights closest to the Mazda logo.

these should be quite bright i assume if they fit.

 

So h7's won't work?

 

H7 is for non xenon low beam, H9 for high beam and h11 for fog lights

 

How do I know if I have xenon or whatever? I bought 2 h7's and there is no where to put them in the back of the headlight

 

Keep it to one thread Nick, go see your other one.

Guess I will have to buy some back-ups perhaps.

 

Anyone who could help would be greatly appreciated. I have HIDS for my foglights but im also trying to get them for my headlights.

What Color bulbs would be illegal to have as my parking lights? I don't want to get stopped by the cops because of my lights but I wanted to have a HID - ish yellow lights there as I'm planning on buying the HID Foglight kit as well.

Any suggestions?

 

Looking for a bit of advice. After reading through a LOT of these light threads, I am not sure what bulbs would look good to replace the ugly yellowish parking lights to make them white. I would like a bulb (not led) that would match the stock HIDs well. Any suggestions?

 

So I have the HID Lights but whats the maximum brightness the stock lights can handle?

I guess I mean Can I go 6000K, 8000K, 12000K , etc without melting anything causing damage I dont have money for? like wires ect

 

6000K, 8000K, etc. do not refer to brightness, that is the color temperature. Think about what you may have learned in a science class about the color of stars and the temperature. the coolest stars are red (outside the spectrum of color temps in HID bulbs), warmer are yellow, warmer than that are white, and warmer than that are blue.

 

I was getting temperatures mixed up with watts or wattages. So as long as I use the correct wattage I can use any color I want ?

 

Yes, that's correct. Personally, I've purchased 8000K D2S bulbs from vvme.com and they've been working great in my RX8 and my MS3.

 

Thanks, Ill check out that site too. And Nice, you got an MS3 also, best of both worlds

 

Quick Question, Im looking into getting some Hi Beam Bulbs but when I go to Vleds.com and go to H9 or 9005 all they wanna show me are HID Bulbs and kits.

I do have stock, HIDs already but the H9/9005 are just going to be a halogen bulb right?

 

You can't use LED bulbs for high beams (well you could, but it would be pathetic)

Halogens put out (lumens) in the 1000 - 1300 range,
upgrade to HID and you'll get 4000 - 5000,
a good LED bulb will emit, maybe 300.......

(I have HIDs hi's, but I'm also a maniac)

I know Audi is working on some LED beams, but they are years away, and you won't find these at VLEDs!

 

OH Yeah! NO, I totally no that! lol But I guess why the site was trying to get me to get HID's because it is a LED Site lol My bad

 

So has anyone done hid hi beams? If so what kit did yall get and where did u place the ballasts?

 

My personal favorite is 8000K. But I want to know what temperature the low beam HIDs are, so that when I get HID fog and running lights, it won't look retarded and not the same color.

 

does anyone know the size of the red bulbs located on the doors where the window controls are?

 

I don't think those are easily removed

 

So the parking lights on the front does it matter how big the 194 bulb and which one has worked for you guys?
