help with LED's
here are the bulb types on my 06 coupe.
Headlight: D2S Parking Light: 168 Turn Signals: 7440 Fog:Hl-55w Plate: 168 Reverse: 921 Sidemarker: 194 Map/Dome: DE3175 Step: DE3022 Trunk: 158 im looking to change most of them to LED's. how do i know how many LED's to get in a bulb? VLEDS sells an 18, 24, 36 led bulb. how do i know what to get? |
The map/dome, step lights are all festoon style bulbs - i think the ones i bought have 4 leds - they look good.
I used bulbs with 12 leds for the reverse lights for the plate and sidemarker lights - i used bulbs with 4 LEDs - they do not recommend LEDs for the City Lights/parking lights - so i used a PIAA bulb in there - I bought some turn signals with a ton of LEDS - but didn't install because they made the turn signal "hyper blink" and i didn't feel like installing a relay - hope that helps |

Did that on my last car. The hyperblink does exist - i installed them and hit the turn signal and it was hyper blinking so yes it does exist. |
I had my clear corners painted to match my car too. :)
Also, unfortunately, hyperblink does exist... I ran into that problem myself. Also, SMT LEDs are much better than standard LEDs. By much, I mean MUCH. |
I bought mine led on here

I'd like to see some of these color matched corner lights...

to my understanding hiperblink doesn't happen on 06, but on my 03 I needed the resistors.
