Visor Light Replacement

Couldn't find anything using search to get specs on these bulbs. Has anyone upgraded these ugly yellow things? I've got PIAA Extreme Whites everywhere else on the car and this is the only bulb I can't find replacments for. Looking for some part numbers or sites that would sell bulbs to match the rest of the PIAA setup I got.

IIRC, its a soldered in bulb. That's why nothing is listed.

So does that mean they can't be replaced? Sorry but I'm new to this stuff.

Yes, it means it can't be replaced unless you find a suitable LED bulb and solder it in yourself. Its not something that pops in and out like the other bulbs in the car.

I have these. Just haven't gotten a chance to install them yet.

$550 for these lights? Just a little bit out of my price range. Looks like I'll have to try and solder some led's myself.

The cost includes new replacement visors that are modified, so that is a good part of it. They use very high quality LEDs, so a DIY is not going to be a $15 job to get the same kind of output.

It matches the rest of the car, so it was worth it for me.
