The Rest of the LEDs are here!!!

YESSSSSSS!!!

After putting up with the stupidest shipping fiasco with UPS, FedEx finally delivered my bulbs to me today (1 day from NYC to HNL). I think im gonna wake up early tomorrow and install these before going into work.



This will complete all my lights in the car.

Stock HID
Stealth Turn Signals (On All 4)
PIAA Fog Lights
PIAA Reverse Lights
PIAA Dome Light
PIAA Super White LEDs in the...

If SCSI is available this weekend, i'll make sure to get some night pics up. I would take them with my own camera... but that would suck.

EDIT: Here are the pics...

I'll try get better ones done whenever we do the full photoshop thing. God knows when that'll be.

Clear Lense and Parking Light:




Vanity Light:




Dome Light:



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.

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.



Looks to be a 30mm bulb. Sheesh.

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

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.

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

Yeah, I'm still searching too ...

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.

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

Greg"

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.
