I'll get the reverse lights later tonight. Too much trafic on the road for me to roll a camera stand into the street, and by camera stand i mean trash can.
Oh and i forgot the door jam, but its the same color as the other LEDs.

can't wait to see the results. I'm doing this mod soon myself... Nice wheels btw...

NgoRX8 01-18-2007 08:33 PM

nice choice on xtreme white 7440s for turn signals. i have them and love the white signals.

you just went piaa crazy

BigOLundh 01-18-2007 08:41 PM

Its actually for the Reverse Lights - this way everybody within a one mile radius is gonna see know i'm backing up. HAR HAR
I like using the stealth ambers for the turn signals, they come out to be a really dark amber color... niiiice.

after dealing with all sorts of cheaper brands on my last car, and PIAA being the only one that lasted... i've decided to stick with them. Never once have I had an issue with a PIAA bulb.

Sh*t. I'm hoping they are 194 Wedge Bulbs as well. I couldnt imagine them being any different. I won't actually know for sure until i open it up and see.
I installed a few tonight, and only have the vanity and license plate left. I'll do those tomorrow morning before i go into work.

I just learned that while these reverse lights look amazing, they make my car look even more dirty then normal. great - i guess this means it'll finally get washed this weekend :)

I'm bored so i decided to change the vanity lights tonight, and WELL EVIDENTLY, its not a 194 wedge bulb.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...h/Bulbs003.jpg

Looks to be a 30mm bulb. Sheesh.

I now have an extra pair of PIAA 194s for sale :)

BigOLundh 01-19-2007 03:08 AM

I looked online and found 31mm festoon bulbs. 31mm long is fine, but they were 10mm wide. The OEM bulb seems to be 6mm wide. I'm thinking 10mm is gonna be way too large for the housing.

I'll keep searching online to see what i can find.

danlewisnet 01-19-2007 07:55 AM

I hope you are taking before pics. =)

VarneyMazda 01-19-2007 10:26 AM

None of the festoone bulbs that I've looked at would work --- they're all too wide.

Yeah, I'm still searching too ...

Try sending an email to V-LED's.

You guys are talking about the lights in the sun visors right?

jsnbd3ll 01-19-2007 12:46 PM

I went the cheap route via ebay and picked up bulbs for the doors, map light and dome. All are blue led's and I like they way they look. One thing I found helpful was the sellers link to sylvania's replacement light chart (found here

My led's with shipping cost me $42 and 45 min to install. I can take pics if u are interested.

PIAA LEDs - $20/pair

BigO doesn't play when it comes to lighting. lol

BigOLundh 01-22-2007 04:14 PM

word

btw, i emailed a few companies about our vanity lights, and the only response i got back so far was from super bright leds.com

"Sorry we do not, are smallest diameter festoon bulbs are about 9mm.

Greg"

(still searching)

danlewisnet 01-22-2007 04:37 PM

aww man - no pics yet?

Jedi54 01-22-2007 05:32 PM

isn't superbright led's the same as autolumination?

Can't wait to see these guys installed. I've literrally spent a few hundred on bulbs for my 8 but I'm always looking for more. :) Let us know how it goes

BigOLundh 01-22-2007 05:36 PM

oh i put them all in, except the vanity mirror lights of course - and will take pics soon.

I was happy with everything but the license plate light. The LED projects a really sharp beam of light - but its narrow and doesn't fully illuminate the whole plate. Oh well - its still better than the stock light.
