Parking light led

Gibby1113 · 01-01-2014, 05:04 PM

I went to superbrightled.com to look for a replacement for an led for the parking light. This one option showed a replacement for the parking light that is to be used on CAN BUS vehicles only and the 370Z isn't there. The light is $6 and comes in a white light option that has 4500k so it would be pretty damn close to stock HID. Can anyone check out the light and see if it'll work. Please. Thanks.

I'll try to post the URL in the next post

The CAN-compatible business just means that there is a built-in resistor to keep current within what the BCM expects as normal. If that is the proper base, it _should_ work. Contact vendor/manufacturer to verify.

Ok but these should be close to the headligh color right? It says they're 4500k in the white color option

I'm not sure about colors (I'm an Electrician, not an Artist).

Haha well I was referring to the 4500k. I'm not an electrician so idk how close it's gonna be to the HID 4300k

4500K is 4500K no matter how it's diced in means of 12V or electrician terms. I had this same thought process as you did about 3 years ago, until I got my MECP and 12V Certification. I have found that the average Nissan / Toyota / Lexus / Infinity all fire their HID's about 4300 K in intensity. 4500K in this regards is the measurement in Kelvin that the ballast would fire the light lumens across the media or filament in the HID bulb for this case. AS for LED's it's a bit different as their is no Filament it's a Diode. So in all relevance 200 K or 200 kelvin in temperature for color is not going to be much off in regards to the stock 4300K Temp from the hids. I am awaiting my shipment of 4500K SMD led's for my lights as well as some 5500 Test LED's to see if their is much difference at 1200K.

Hope this helps.

Alright cool thanks bud. Hey there's another thread that was made on this section about the amber led that's next to the parking light. Any idea how to get to that one?

Not right off hand on how to get to it, and i have been looking all over for the how to as well after I read this. I will keep looking, hopefully someone in the forums may lend us a hand or URL link. I noticed you are in Brownsville, TX, nice to see a fellow Texan on here.

Gibby1113 · 01-03-2014, 10:18 AM

Haha yea we're not all about driving trucks and riding horse in Texas, some of us like to go fast

anyway, some other member said he ordered a part from some place that replaces that whole set up w/ an led. I asked him where exactly he ordered it from but when I find out ill post it here as well
