Finally - my perfect front light setup LEDs + HID
Finally - my perfect front light setup LEDs + HID
It took me long enough, but I finally found the perfect setup for parking lights, HIDs and side markers.
The HID bulbs are an H7 aftermarket kit, 6000k.
The parking lights are 7-LED SMTs from autoillumination.com
The side markers are from VLEDs, 4 SMT .5W each. Those were so bright that they cast shadows, so to dim them I put them in backwards...lol. As in, 180deg so the LEDs face in towards the car. As you can see, they're still extraordinarily bright.
Please mind the gap - mazdaspeed shocks and springs should be here tomorrow.

Looks great. I have the same bulbs in my corners, but I have them facing the correct way. They are BRIGHT!! They totally light up cars that are next to you at night. Pretty cool. I got the forward facing 4x.5watt LEDs from V-LEDs for my parking lights and they are equally as bright.
Damn those are bright! Everything looks like it matches pretty well... when i get my 6500K's in the mail soon I'll take some pics; My setup is a tiny bit bluer than that so hopefully it will flow...
Also, I really like those wheels, what size/offset are they. Those were high on my list when I was shopping around (ended up getting JIC J-Force 05 which is a very similar design). Post some more pics if you've got 'em.

I need to find the OEM paint and try a repair job. It's very similar in color to the sunlight silver on my car, but it's slightly darker. It's one of the main reasons why I love these wheels - it matches my paint pretty well.
