Now that we know the PC is dead, got lots a spare parts floatin around

 

lol yup i hear ya

 

EBay my son, EBay. I've just sold $1891.77 of my collected (mostly PC) stuff so far since mid August... what's unbelievable ... there's someone out there that actually wants it!!

 

V-LEDs has a new coupon on their FB page...

 

never fails, when I NEED a coupon code, I can't find one.
When I don't need one...

On the plus side: I'm out of bulbs to replace so I shouldn't need a coupon code for a while. Unless of course I decide to once again change some out.

 

Good stuff. I have a question though. I have a series 2 that has the D2S HID bulbs. I see prices online from $20 to well over $100 for bulbs. If I want 6000 k bulbs, what brands are considered worth getting? Can the stock lighting system take higher lights? I'm new to HID's so, forgive the slightly dumb questions.

 

I've heard phillips is one of the best. The stock ballasts won't have a problem running the temp you want.

 

Wow just checked out Vleds and dang they have gone up
my last HID kits i got for them retailed $50...now they are $150
the 4LED SMT 194s were $15...now $25

 

VLED's has really been slacking the last few months on having bulbs in stock. The last few times I've tried to order, they've always been out of stock. Hell half their inventory is out of stock. With that said, I'll be ordering a rear dome light in 6k white color, but need to replace my door lights and want the same color, just not from VLED's since they don't have anything in stock. Does anyone know who else would sell ones in the same color and quality as VLED's? I know there is Superbrightleds, but I've read in the past these bulbs don't last, so I don't really wanna go with them.

 

Not only half of their items are out of stock, but their prices are increasing steadily and in many cases are outright ridiculous, unfortunately.

 

i forsee their business taking a steep drop
and i need HIDs/LEDs for the new 8 but i wont be paying 3Xs the price that i did one year ago

 

I have many bulbs from superbrightleds and they have all lasted and function properly

 

Back on the first page of this post, there is a picture of an RX8 with its engine bay lit, how could i re-create this as it looks really good?!

 

he used stip leds, the description is somewhere in this thread, sorry i dont know what page/post it is.

 

Have all LED/HID bulbs in my car replaced with V-LED stuff about two months ago when I got my 8. It ran me about $500 for everything... That's with a 15% off coupon...

 

Hope you guys can take advantage of the Halloween 20% discount code - SPOOKY20 . Not sure how long it's good for though.

Just used it to purchase those expensive tail light and reverse light bulbs that Aipex listed above. Oh, and a couple of those vanity light bulbs. Can't wait to get these installed!

 

Thanks mate

 

Theres a Black Friday sale going on all through the weekend a lot of the bulbs are discounted+free shipping. I took advantage and stocked up to switch out the blue interior for white.

 

I used the 194 6k bulbs and they did NOT fit into the map lights slot. The head of the bulb did not fit through. So I guess I just need to use the exact bulb you listed.

These are the bulbs I used:

Also, on the cars that are equipped with the HID option, are the foglights still H11 or is are the foglights also HID?

 

yes still halogen so you would need to buy a complete HID kit for the foglights with H11 sized bulbs.

 

WHEW I just finished Reading alot! and I have a question since reading the first post about the parking lights. With those Hi Power LED 194's in, did anyone run into any issue with them burning or melting the plastic housing?

The reason i ask is because I remember Apex saying that he had the older ones at the time

 

ive used about 3 different kinds now with no problems
the current ones are too hot to even touch but it doesnt hurt the housing

 

I am running that bulb and so far no trouble.

 

So I just ordered my first mod for my car.. finally after ..I have had my car since May. But I ordered the VVME HID foglight kit that someone else suggested on here and got the 3000K which cost 9bucks extra.. now I cant wait.

I was on the vled's facebook and they are having a sale starting on the 12th of next week so be on the look out

 

50% off on some stuff. Don't look for the 194SMT LEDs to be on sale.
Sale ends at 9:00PST iirc so get it quick if you find anything
