Jaesx Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 All interior and exterior lights have been swaped out for LED's... The color of the license plate light is perfect with ABP! (they look blue in the pic), but they are very white with a hint of blue/purple. These are extremly close to the color of moonlight! Try Velocity L.E.D.S... They are light-years ahead of the LED game. New stuff all the time... Also have a store on Ebay. http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/4513/pict14799tn.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 ^^^^^^ +1 i was thinking either the 6 LED or the high power. jaesx looks like they might be the 6 LED becuze its a narrow beam. THe high power says it has a very wide beam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegGTLT Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Jaesx: Lookin' good! Now, as others said, MORE INFO! Which 194's did you use? 4, 5, or 6 array? As for interior, again, which ones? The site looks good you pointed out but they are more expensive ($9.99 a pair compared to ~$6 a pair from the WRXguy's site) but it's not much so I'm sure people will be happy either way.

CreoSTi Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I'm using what is called the "5 LED Refractor Bulb." This is the same as the "WLED 5-LED Wide Angle LED bulb" on superbrightleds.com. The potential issue with using the "straight line" LEDs is that the OEM bulbs are not oriented towards the plate. The mount is angled away from it, using the side(s) of a filament bulb to illuminate the plate. I'm not sure how the "wider" LEDs look, though. -Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaesx Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Guys... I get the picture. I will take a bunch of night shots with accurate color sat eve... Velocity Leds have been holding tight for a good 6 months now with no real complaints. If there was one it would be that they keep coming out with new stuff... I buy the hot sh*t and only to find out the next week they have an upgraded High Output designs now. Oh well, have to pick up some of those and check'um out... Ok so Lic. Plate bulbs... Today I followed WRXGUY's suggestion on not going thru the trunk liner, and instead got the back section off... Damn that was EZ! 2 Screws and then a series of pop its and it's off! Thanks again for that shortcut:icon_mrgr So in doing so I tried my 921 backup bulbs in the License plate socket and it fits in the housing without interference. The 921 is a larger bulb and often contains many more led's in it. Thus even more light! BUT the new high power bulbs are much shorter and sit lower in the socket. This would work better for our lic plate application So here is my List of Led's and bulbs that I have swapped out... Door step lights, Map lights& Dome: total of 5 Currently installed http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/6435/31759whf6.jpg *(But previously had the festoon style 9 LED but these put out a much brighter directional light.) Trunk: HID WHITE 24 LED CIRCUIT BOARD BULB 194 http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/6781/194cbwxk9.jpgThis works well and throws more light than the stock bulb. Reverse/back-up lights: 921 - 9 led bulb http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/799/9219wga5.jpg Brake lights and rear turns 7440 & 7443: http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/4818/744324rlu3.jpg License Plate: 914 - 5 LED refractor http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/9499/1945wuv9.jpg I also have my front and rear turns, but I am awaiting a hype flasher fix! http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/9632/pict1450sf3.jpg Head Lighting is by Nokya H3 Hyper Yellow fogs (55w) H7 Arctic Purple Low Beams (100) Silver Star Highs Silver Star Sliver/Blue - Amber front turns http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/2328/pict1496di7.jpg So hope that answers some of the questions and I will get some pics up ASAP. Thanks for the interest guys... Have a good one. Gunner out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegGTLT Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Thanks! A few more questions: 1. What is the product number and bulb count on the door step, map, and dome replacemnet lights? 2. Also, what bulb count did you use for the reverse lights? There's a 15 and 24 count. Thanks!!! Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

WRXGuyInVegas Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Hey guys... I just took the whole thing appart, and re did everything... I didn't like how the light was shining towards the outside of the plate, and not directly on it. I made new holes opposite the current ones, and it angled the lights directly on the plate. Now JUST the plate is lit up, and it looks 10x better! Pics to follow most likely tomorrow afternoon. I'm at work right now, and just did this. I HIGHLY suggest it!

MiniStiGuy Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 if you want the LED's to spread light more and not project so much then you MUST sand down the round tip and make it flat. I used to have led's in my dash and gauges and with the bulb's being round (projected) tipped they did not spread evenlly however with them sanded so the tip is flat they were even spread.

CreoSTi Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 if you want the LED's to spread light more and not project so much then you MUST sand down the round tip and make it flat. That may help a little, but the real problem is that the mounting of the socket/bulb is angled away from the plate. A regular filament bulb radiates a lot of light to the side, where most LEDs don't. So, WRXGuyInVegas made new holes so that the mounting point is facing the plate. -Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniStiGuy Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 yes creo that is correct in that the aligment of the bulb is off. I was just addressing the problem with the light being projected to much though. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
