websites for bulb / LED replacements


Anyone know sites for buying bulbs for my 06 city lights?


I've bought some LED's from V-LEDS.com for my clear corners but I need to replace my 06 city lights, and V-LEDS.com only sell LED's.

Im trying to match my 06 city lights with my "HID" White High power LED's I have in my clear corners. I know LED's wont function in the Headlight housing because it gets too hot. So im just looking for bulbs [which would match my HID look LED's in clear corners].

My Clear Corner LED's are "White" with a hint of blue in them; These obviously dont match the fugly yellow 06 city lights:

are you saying you don't want vleds because of the heat in your headlight housing? i have vleds in the city lights and they work just fine. they were supposed to be hyper white, but they end up being blue (very much like the blue in the concept coupe headlight pics)

How long have you had em in there? From what I hear they dont last long in there. Do you use your fog lights all the time?

two months or so. i use my fogs about 75% of the time...less lately because i like the look of the car without the fogs on. the projectors are white, and the whole fog area is lit blue when the fogs are off. when the fogs are on, the color is almost blue/purple. anyway, i have had no problems with them. i can take pics and post them if you need.

looking directly from the front, they even look like halos...i need to get a higher temp fog. they were supposed to be 5200k--i'm guessing i have to go 6000k or higher.

i had a thread going for a while about the 06 city lights. https://g35driver.com/forums/lighting/105596-stupid-06-city-light.html
LEDs work fine. they havent burned out for anyone I've spoken with. Mine have also been fine so far. Stay clear of autoillumination.com's bulbs. their hyper white is bluish. I ended up putting them in my rear license plate lights. I will update that link with my leds in.
