Need help locating correct LED's
I found plenty of threads about changing LED's but either they had very old links to expired web pages or they didn't give me the info i was looking for.
I'm going to be doing my headlights soon and i need to know the LED type i need to get that will properly replace the two circled lights below (turn signal and the running light). Turn signal: I believe i found the correct one for this...can someone verify? I'm looking at getting the short one at the top of this page (actually, click 'Please select options' to show them listed) *needs to be short because i'm putting a halo around the turn signal projector....projector will be shorter after modification. Running light: I just want to replace the dull white bulb with a white LED....anyone have a link for a proper replacement? I don't even know what kind of bulb it is. Pic shows Turn Signal (top) and Running light (bottom right) circled. Thanks for any help! Last edited by Osiris; 08-26-2013 at 04:07 PM. |

All the interior lights, parking lights, and license plate lights use the same type of bulb. It just depends on how bright you want them.
194 LED Bulb - 19 SMD LED Wedge Base Tower | Miniature Wedge Base LEDs | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs 194 LED Bulb - 13 SMD LED Wedge Base Tower | Miniature Wedge Base LEDs | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs 194 LED Bulb - 15 SMD LED Wedge Base Tower | Miniature Wedge Base LEDs | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs To change them, just pop off the caps on the plastic on the front wheel well protector piece. Then just grab the bulb, twist it out of the holder and pop in the new one. There is a pretty good guide in the DIY section with pics. Took me 5 minutes.

I would go with the 10-15 but the 13-LED ones will be the best for you I think. I think I am using a 12 but I can't remember. Just look at the intensity to find out what you want. I'll go grab some pics of mine in a sec.

I just recently got my headlights done and had dual halos installed. They removed the plastic cap where the projector shroud is and shortened it as you are doing. They then inserted a lens and added a halo there. They also replaced the amber bulb that's used for the turn signal because it looks odd through that lens. The problem with having the halo there is that they are SO bright that you in fact need a very bright turn signal bulb so that if you have the halos on the turn signal can actually be seen. I am getting V3 Triton bulbs put in as those are very very bright and can be seen when I am changing lanes. Also the parking light bulb also has that amber bulb look. I am replacing that bulb as well to a clear bulb because I didn't care for the amber section of the lights. You won't really need a bright bulb at all for the parking light, just the turn signal you will. As I mentioned the Triton bulbs are awesome and I would recommend those for sure.

Is there a similar rear blinker bulb?
And do you need a resistor with these to stop hyper flash?
