LED Headlights Side Markers.

[JoeSakic19]

Does somebody knows the type of bulb the 2 is using as the headlights sidemarkers ? I wanna go the Led route but I'm unsure about the type of bulb I need. Thanks

I'm talking about the bulbs that are behind the orange reflector

superbrightleds.com has a selection tool that supposedly shows you what bulbs you need where. Here is a link:

Apparently you need to get a 2825 compatible bulb? They also suggest that you go with the same color as the lense (amber in this case) as that means more of the light is passed through instead of filtered.

Yeah I know this site but I wasn't sure if it was the right bulb .. I don't have the amber insert anymore so I would like to have maybe a clear white LED or a amber one

Can you post a pic of that? I've been wanting to see what the headlights look like without the amber insert.

Also, if you want to look at a different option, CARiD has a selection of LUMEN brand LED's:

10-21$ PER bulb seems high to me. Still unsure about the real type of bulb I need. Thanks for your help tho.

Hey. I work at napa and that price sounds normal. Some builds range up to 20 $ for a single basic halogen. Shop around though.
Is there a how to for removing the amber section. I hate them haha.

I'm thinking of giving the side light and turn signal reflector sections the duplicolor metalcast treatment in blue with the headlight reflector (post retrofit, of course) in black. Hopefully I get to show you all at some point.
