okay some people say that using leds in your 2006 projectors as the city lights will burn or crack your fog housings/bulbs but some poeple have no problems. please post up thoughts.

 

i used to have LEDs in my 06 housings. they worked fine. didn't flicker. nothing cracked.

although, when i went to take the LEDs out...they were 1/4 melted.

LEDs hate heat.

 

i'm currently running piaa 6 led in the city light...not problems as of yet, they have only been in there for 4 months now

 

I had some LEDs from superbrightleds.com. IT looked good with the 6k HIDs i have, but eventually they started flickering. I has strobes in the car for a few weeks before i actually swapped them out

 

what are you using for the city lights now?

thanks for all the feedback guys. if anyone else has anything, please feel free to add it. im going to go ahead and put the leds in for now and i can always change them out later.

make sure the LEDs you have fit. initially, i bought 194/168 LEDs from vleds.com thinking they would fit fine. i think it was this one that i got:



and it wouldnt fit through the hole.

so i ended up having to buy another pair of LEDs similar to these to fit:



anyway, good luck!

 

So you bought the bottom one Calvin? So, you were saying that when you took it out it was melted?

 

id rather be safe than sorry so i ordered some piaa xtreme white wedge bulbs.

 

Those are the bulbs I have in mine, they seem to work fine at the moment, but they weren't as white as I expected them to be.

 

I have vleds and my right side one is flickering... I got one of the hyperwhite bulbs.... I'll probably just do the '06 housing recall and get them changed back to stock, or just take them out altogether. I had them in for about 4 months... and rarely used the fog lights.

 

the one i bought isnt listed any more. yes, it was melting. but it never stopped working. it was a trooper.

 

dope, the one that was flickering just burnt out

 

So, have we decided which are the best bulbs to use?
I'd like to change my city/clearance lights to a whiter bulb.
