All I got to say is when I was changing out my front to the 6k those dam parking lights are kinda a pain esp if you have kinda big hands like I do. But those HID's were cake. Looks great tho esp at night!!

yeh those parking lights are a pain but ive hcnaged em 3 times now and i know just how to do it even with my big hands i can do the passenger side which in my opinion is the hardest one to do with just my index and middle finger of my left hand and the index of my left

index and middle of left hold that long base towards the hole while the index of my right hand scoops under and lifts it up and then probes to try to put it in

Yeah, once you've done it a couple times you'll be able to do it in your sleep. Fogs too, I can change those suckers in just a couple minutes.

i always take my bumper off for the fogs i dunno why it just seems like fun....

but those new vled parking lights... i broke one when putting it in the base and had to superglue it back and solder the connections back which worked and its fine now

but the driver side parking light seems to point straight forward while the passenger side points seeming ly more towards the center of the front bumper

at night its fine becuase theyre bright enough you cant tell but during the day my baby looks like it has a lazy eye

So anyone want to give me any hints or tricks to do the fogs.... I have them on preorder for vleds. The only thing I know so far is I have to take that thing out from the inside of the fog light.

^ how are those ones, thinking about sticking one in the trunk do you think it would light it up sufficiently?

i bought the ones on the first page. theyre different. i believe that one has 1 led on the front while the others have 4 but its no big deal. it works fine now. i just think i put the bulb base back into the housing incorrectly since its such a pain. ill straighten it out. appreciate it though!

i just did this mod, i have the single led light as well haven't driven at nite yet
but they seem bright enough when i checked earlier

Oh nooooo! my v-led parking light led just burnt out, has anyone used the new retina burners? if so how do they perform so far?.....(sorry guys havent been on the site for quite awhile.)

I believe that the new high power bulbs will actually fit without removing the cap from the fog housing, at least that's what a few have said. I prefer it removed to get more light, but it may not be necessary. Other than that, you just install it like a regular fog bulb.

Yes, I'm running them in my parking lights. They are super bright. Most of the pics on the first post of this thread are updated with my latest setup.

Aipex, kinda off-topic question but hopefully you can answer it.

How can I get my lights to where I can have JUST my fog lights on or my Parking Lights and Fog Lights on?

The only time I am able to turn my Fog Lights on is when my Headlights are on. I noticed in your Sig that you have your fog lights on with just your parking lights.

A few weeks ago I installed 5k hid high power led bulbs in all the places that take the 194 bulb and I installed HID headlighs(my 8 is base) and fog lights

They are pretty good actually. I have it for my trunk light and it was surprisingly bright so I ordered another set for my parking lights, and I can see the difference between the stock bulbs and these.

And Darkpoison thank you for that link. I'll hopefully try that sometime this week.

klanham08

Looks nice on a WWP 8. I am working on getting 6k headlights and fog lights to hopefully match my parking lights soon.

i believe there is a diy for the fogs, but the parking lights are self explanatory too haha

So i just got my new 5k leds for my parking lights for vled and the bulb fell off in the socket any ideas. I also have another one laying around in there somewhere from my first attempt. I could really appreciate it. Any pointers would be appreciated because my big hands are having a tough time. I keep looking through the top, but its still not really helping me.

Just swapped out my dome lights with V-LEDs, not as bright as I'd expected but it's still pretty good. (2 secs. exposure in the picture)

It sucks they didn't have the other blue bulbs in stock gotta wait for another 2 weeks.

and blehhh they sent me the wrong white bulbs today, shot them an email, sales promptly replied and told me replacements are sent out the same day.

edit: nvm they are soooo bright, too bright actually, i might go swapping back to the warmer stock filament bulbs
