LED lights

[Mp5speed]

Does anyone have LED lights as their turn signals or sidemarkers. I was thinking of ordering white LED lights in order to replace the ugly yellow bulbs in the turn signals and side markers. Just wondering how they look and how bright and visible they actually are during the day. Pictures would be nice if possible. thanks

I have red LEDs for my rear turnsignals. I think they're clean as hell.

Are they alot brighter looking? What kind do u have? Thanx

 

[Captain KRM P5]

what brand do you use?

 

[peepsalot]

do they blink uber fast, or did you get a resistor deal that takes care of that?

I have LEDs for all of my turn signals, from superbrightleds.com. I have resistors wired in for the front and rear ones (not necessary for thet side ones). At night the brightness is fine because the LED clusters I got all have outward facing LEDs as well as some radially mounted LEDs so the lighting is much more even. During the day I think the rear LEDs light aren't as bright as what I had, before I just had a clear incandescent bulb that was way too bright though.

During the day the sidemarker isn't really bright enough to be seen, it just looks like a little dot of light. It is a five LED model with one large LED facing outward and four LEDs mounted perpendicular for more even lighting.

Oh and for colors, I have amber front, amber side (the amber doesn't match perfectly though), and red rear.

i have leds in back and it blinks fast!

My front, side and rear signals are all LED (white in front & side, red in rear) and have a 3ohm resistor wired into the line and wedged in the taillight (just 1 works for the whole side). My superwhites look wicked, a real clean white with some blue/purple to it, personally I like the tinge. A few people thought they were HID's just looking at it (and not looking at the light it projects, duh). Actually I've got a video of mine, included in it are my LED superwhite map light and LED UV domelight

Mine are all from http://www.autolumination.com/

EDIT: I've got a LED light for my brakelight too, but I'm awaiting 6ohm resistors for each or else it messes some things up (cruise control, auto tranny shift lock)

how many led's can fit in the 1157 space for the sedan light? anyone know?

 

[Kansei]

1157 is the front light, correct? I think I have the 24 LED model that has 18 facing out and 6 radially to make it "wide angle". It is a very tight fit in the hole and definitely doesn't feel like it'll fit properly but I've had them in for nearly a month now without any issues.

To sevsev: With one resistor for the whole side, doesn't the wiring and the resistor get very hot?

 

[sevsev]

Me or any other of the toprotege guys who did a groupbuy have had any problems. One left his signals on for 15 minutes and it got hot to the touch but I don't think it was that bad, hmmm, maybe I'll test it just in case

 

[peepsalot]

Anyone know a light that will replcae the trunk light? It doesn't even have to be led, just anything brighter. I can't see s*** with that thing, expecially when the sub deck is blcking half the light.
