Sorry if this has been asked before.

I got have the stock HID's. What are folks buying for the fogs and parking lights to match the stock HID's? Im leaning towards the 6k HID fogs or should i go with LED 6K. Whats the difference?

and for parking lights?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I do believe the LED fogs is just for appearance looks because it lacks the light distance. The HID fogs will give you greater light distance.

I recently bought the HID fogs 6k Diamond Blue along with the 194 bulbs you are showing here. The weather has been crap and cold so I haven't installed the fogs yet, plus I'm still waiting for my D2S bulbs

Seeing Aipex8's HID fogs in action on the highway at night I can definitely say they provide a lot of light!

Cool

Thanks thats what I was leaning towards. Will probably get some D2S bulbs down the line too. The HID fog lights are currently going for $59.99, is that a pretty good deal for vleds standards or should I wait for another sale?

the 6K fogs will be a bluer color than the 4300 stock HIDs so they wont really match unless you have 6K low beams but it will still look better than stock fogs

these lights for the parking lights...they will match the 6K HIDs almost perfectly and can be used for parking lights, sidemarkers, map lights, courtesy door lights, trunk light, and license plate light...this bulb is the best!!!

Bassy, can you take a picture of the platnium bulbs installed? Closeups get bonus points

Really? Are his uncapped? Because when I drive with my fogs on (5k HIDs, they don't seem to add that much more light!)

I tried today in the rain, maybe that's the issue, not the bulbs?

I was driving along side him and the front of his car was really bright. Not sure if I have rode in his car at night since he swapped them.

I heard people say keeping them capped is best because it distributes the light better. Has anyone did a comparison?

The foglight housings that I used for my LED fogs had the scattershield removed. I replaced them with another pair of housings with the scattershield in place when I went to HIDs to try and cut down on the glare they produce a little.

anyone know what kind of bulb to buy for the door panels. Its pretty small. The one that illuminates the all switches on the door panel. Not the courtesy lights.

I believe that is a hard wired LED and cannot be replaced.

oh okay. BTW, awesome thread Aipex.

hey i bought some of those V-LED 194_4_RB_W_6K for my car but when i put them on it work for about a min and then turn off. And some other time it would just turn on and off and on and then stay off. I try to install it to my parking light, map light, door light and even trunk but it still turn off. please help.

Someone with interior blue led can probably help me with this but my dome and courtesy lights don't match up.

The dome light seems to be more purplish blue and don't match very well with blue courtesy lights.

Dome lights that i got: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...-p9035582.html

courtesy lights: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...-p4481018.html

Im guessing it probably due to diff in output rating, but shouldn't that just affect the brightness and not the color.

I actually don't have any blue LEDs, but my dome and map lights are both 6000k and are slightly different colors.

Thanks for the info Aipex. Doesn't really bother me much, was just curious if others were experiencing the same thing.

Just got my back up lights today in the mail. As usual took all of 2 minutes to pop them in.
I ended up buying these:
V-LEDS PLATINUM WHITE 6K 7 WATT HIGH POWER 20 LED LIGHT BULBS 7440 7443


Holy hell that is some light output! I dont think i'll ever have an issue seeing through my tint while back up.

Here's a question...how the hell do you put the load resistors in?
im obviously dumb as a stump cause i cant figure it out...anybody got pictures?
i spliced the black wire into the resistor and it didn't work so....
i cant believe there's not a DIY on this...or maybe im just dumber than everyone else

Quick question for Aipex. Im running stock Fog light bulbs right now. IM considering changing to LEDS. NOw obviously this kind of defeats the main purpose of fog lights, which is to cut through fog. I was reading the lower the kelvins the better it is since it can cut through fog easier. ANyway, im looking to get 6k. My question is will the light output be the same if not better than the stock bulbs ?? I dont really care if it cuts through fog better, which it probably wont anyway. Im more concerned about light output. thanks
