hey guys i installed my LED brake and reverse lights tonight. i also did the led trunk mod and replaced almost all the bulbs in my car with super whites, the car has a nice glow, here are some comparison pics. note: the middle picture is with the stock bulbs

 

wow... looks a lot better. I gotta go change them now.

where'd you get them? autolumination or superbrightleds?

 

autolumination 15LED reverse lights and 9LED brake lights

 

You sold me. I'm gonna order mine ASAP.

How was hte fitment of the bulb in the socket? Did it just pop right in?

-hS

 

you guys noticing the courtesy lights in the doors? there hyper white as well.

 

I don't like everything white, but i do like how the led's made the reverse lights a lot more focused and clear.

 

you are out of control light changing guy... great job...

now a bulb list of all spots. and did you do the turn sigs with stealths?????


beers

 

i highly recomend changing your glove box courtesy light to red, it doesnt interfer with the drivers vision nearly as much when opened at night. Plus matches the console red as well.

 

next you should replace your license plate light

 

o i have a bulb for that we just didnt feel like taking the rear bumper off at 12am its going on today along with some Zaino

 

yes fitment was good tho the found out that the bulb only goes in 1 way, if you turn it around it wont work so if it doesnt work at first, flip the socket around and it will.

turn signals i did not do stealth...yet. im debating on LEDs still. the LED's make the lights look pure. the red is a deep red instead of an orangish red and the white is just super bright.

 

DAMN you have to take off the whole bumper for that ???

oh gay

 

I don't think LEDs reverse lights are bright enough... what do you think?

 

We read the manual wrong, as af of now, you dont need to take off the bumper off. Here a few pictures

 

I had LED bulbs but I did not find them bright enough. They were OK, but definitely less bright than stock and they don't fill the reflectors as well. Mine were all 15-LED bulbs.
They look cool though.

 

Your setup looks tight!

 

as of a few hours ago, the liscense plate light is now the same color as the courtesys (hyper white)

 

The color of the bulbs look very pure now. The red is a deep red and the white is a bright white. I'm happy with everything being uniform now. I'll be posting more pics in a little while.

 

here are some close ups

 

hmm... that little yellow circuit line in the led bulbs makes it kinda.. not appealing.

 

the only reason your seeing that is because i held the camera almost touching the plastic to take those pics, you dont see it under normail circumstances.

 

Looking good. I'm thinking about doing the same thing. Can you post some pics of what it looks like with LEDs in both sides and maybe how much it illuminates the area behind the car when backing up?

 

I must admit that it looks sharp, but the decrease in lumens of the overall setup deters me from actually spending time on the mod.

LED bulb swap:

Pros:
- looks sharp
- faster full illumination response

Cons:
- lacks lumens
- sucks up your time

 

Those look pretty cool but don't they blink at a different speed now since the bulbs are so much more power efficient then the stocks?

 

same speed, no change
