Default Light

Cabana - You have to post a picture with those bulbs. I just ordered the 6-LED yest. but I was debating getting the ones you ordered. So it will be interesting to see what they look like.

I think the blueish color also has a lot to do with what color your car is. The light looks different with different backgrounds.

The funny thing is, I saw the Lexus a couple days ago and it also looks surprisingly blue. That's what got me going on this whole thing..

I got the lights today and they look sooooo much better.

6-LED on left, 1 on right


Here is a little animation from having 2 6-LEDs to switching out the right one for white


The completed project, it looks so good now.


A little tip - they are polarized, so if they don't light up at first don't pull out the bulb, just pull out the plug that goes into the back of the light and turn it 180 then plug it back in. Much easier!

I'll go freeze my ___ off and put in a stock light just for you.

I ordered them from www.superbrightleds.com, about $15 shipped for the pair.

White on left, stock on right. As you can see it's exactly the same output, just a different color.


Both white at an angle

ha ha, thanks man!! It looks good. Would you say their better than the 6LED and stockers? I have to say the stockers werent that bad and they were better than the 6LED. and the output and those 6LED that were supposed to be white were blue. I just wannt make sure since those lights arent cheap! thanks!!!!

I defintely think they're the best because they're not yellow like stock, but not ricey-blue like the 6-LED. They're only $4 a piece, not THAT expensive. :D

that weird that the 6 led white gives off such a bluish tint. Any way the whites look really good on your car

It's because they are 9600k, on the bluer end of the light spectrum. The new ones are 4500k.

Ok.. .let me get this straight just so that i order the right things...

I need to order 2 of the pic above for the LP, and i'll end up with the so called "Lexus" LP lighting?

And this bulb also works for the interior dome light?

I don't know about the dome lights, but those are what I used for the license plate, yes. WLED-WHP
