Never fear, Jedi is here!

Just do what I did.... go to www.hoen-usa.com and order their H11 bulbs, you won't regret it! Oh, and if you replace the foglights, I suggest replacing the round driving lights as well, or the color mismatch will drive you crazy. Here's a picture of my setup.

snipaz2420 04-03-2007 07:05 PM

and the corners

Jedi54 04-03-2007 07:24 PM

correct Matt. I rewired my foglights so they can come on WITHOUT the headlights being on. That is what is pictured above. :) (there's a DIY for that as well)

mattvit 04-03-2007 09:52 PM

what type of parking lights are you using Inverted LED's ???

Jedi54 04-04-2007 09:30 AM

nope, I think they're 5 or 6 led's from www.vleds.com

snipaz2420 04-04-2007 09:32 AM

i used 6 led in the parking lights and 5 led refractor in the corners. ill get some pics of mine up after i get home from school

Jedi54 04-04-2007 09:36 AM

oh, and they're size 194.

snipaz2420 04-04-2007 03:22 PM

here you go. Hoen xenonmatch fogs, VLEDS 6 led parking lights and 5 led refractor corners, stock headlights. The parking lights and corners look different in person, they have a bluish tint to them but my cam doesnt capture that for some reason

I removed each tire to change mine. That made it very easy to see everything and install.

Hey Man I was wondering what lights do you have in your round driving/parking lights. The ones that are bluish.

Jedi54 04-08-2007 05:05 PM

here's the bulbs I got from vleds.com

So the bluish lights are the 6 Led(194). But what about in your corners are they the same bulbs?
