If you go to the very first post of this thread I've got links to each bulb that I use which will show you the price.

I'm going to hold on to them for a bit just until I make sure the high power bulbs can handle being on all the time. After that I'll probably sell them.

I kinda noticed something along those lines when I did my 8000k's. It looked like this: // --

So i went back into the bulb housing and rotated the left bulb clockwise to get: -- --

Your bulb is most likely slanted and not in its proper seat.

hey aipex you still running 6,000k HID's in your headlights as u said on the first page?
if not in your pictures which are those

and i read through most of these pages somewhat and im confused still
all of the lights youve had dont require anything outside of changing the old out for the new am i correct?
if they dont require anything outside of that
itd be great to have brighter lights and get rid of the yellowish glow from my fogs i dont think they have an overlay i think its the bulbid like for them to be white

i know this has been asked before i just need clarification forgive me

Depending on your headlights.. they could be halogen (which would require an HID conversion kit if you're looking for brighter/HIDs). Otherwise if you already have HID then you can just swap the bulbs.

Sidemarkers and parking lights are a simple LED swap, no converting whatsoever.

You can do the fogs either way. I haven't read through this thread in forever, but from what I remember Aipex has just swapped his fog bulbs for LED bulbs. You probably won't notice any better light output with an LED swap, but for a quick fix to get rid of the yellow fog look, this is definitely the best way to go.

On the otherhand, you could undertake something that requires a little more effort and convert the fogs to HID. I went ahead and swapped out the original fog light housings and used projectors to make the light output a lot more defined.



Either solution will rid you of the yellowish look, just one will have more light output over the other. Hope this helps!

you can also get rid of the yellow look way cheaper using Hoen's"Xenonmatch Fog Light Bulbs"

So here is the light set that I am hoping to purchase sometime soon:

Foglights:
http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/D...-p7381057.html
- Question: Can I use 6k lights without worrying about burning the wires or anything?

Headlights (Low Beam):
http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/D...-p5168725.html

Turn Signals:
http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/P...-p4835733.html

Brake/Tail:
http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/P...-p4835733.html

Does that look alright? I am not 100% sure of the colors, so please let me know if I should change the color of any of them.
