LED Parking Lights Replaced

neko · 04-08-2012, 02:25 AM

Front parking LED lights came in today and I couldnt wait to put them in.

After putting them in they looked alot more blue in color that I thought they would be. They do not match the stock HID lights.

I got the same 6000k LED color for my Map, Trunk, and Plate lights. They look more white than blue.

Debating to leave them on or not.

Well the pictures make them look blue rather than white. If they look white in person I say keep it. Blue looks tacky.

Got a pair of 5000k LED's to replace the 6000k that looked too blue for my taste. I think the 5000k blends in better with the stock HID's.

6000K LED

Much more improved 5000K LED

Is it hard to install them? And what kind of bulb did you buy?

Stock bulbs run at 4300k, that's why the 5000k seems closer. Looks good.

Very easy to install. You have to go through the fender well. Just turn the wheel to make room and it should take a few minutes per side.

Yea I didnt like the blue next to the stock HID's. Unless I upgrade to a 6000k HID bulb I'll stick with the 5000k.

Where did you get the parking lights? I want to do the same but also want to change the reverse lights and rear turn signals. Trying to find a place to order them all at once.

I actually thought the same thing about my LEDs but honestly I would like a hint of blue with my HIDs so I will probably swap them out for 6000's at some point.

I got them from V-LEDs.com.

I'll switch out the LED's to the 6k if i swap out my HID bulb. Thinking about it. Do you know what size/watt the HID bulb is?

How much it cost? SMD or CREE bulbs?

TenaciousZ · 07-13-2012, 11:37 AM

which ones?

Love the look

It's the "M-SMT" with 13 LED's.

They are super bright.

MattP725 · 07-14-2012, 10:33 AM

I ended up with 6k diffused bulbs from V-LED and 6k HIDs from theretrofitsource.com and it turned out to match perfectly... better than the stock yellow tinted hids.
