since your username saids 08 i'm sure you have an 08 with the projectors, well my gf has 8k and i got her these for her parking lights and they are a pretty close match to the 8k's and look good as well. she'e been running them since like november and hasn't had a problem with them, sure they are $22 for the pair when you can get other LEDs for alot cheaper but then again the cheap ones tend to burn out after a week or so due to the heat created by the low beams inside the housing. i do not have a pic of them but i can probably get one if you want to see how they look.

Nooo mang get from v-leds those are better and this type of SMT LED bulb shoots everywhere. Thats the one I have in the picture, there is a link below it they sell them in pairs.

so where the link on the left says white 5k hid led that would roughly match the color of my 5k hids i have?

It would be less brighter but it would look a little bit more white. 6k matches it good tho. Both would be good choices, but I would rather get the SMT one

Here is how 6k color looks, in the picture I posted it looks more blueish since I have the yellow fogs on. Up to you, both choices are going to be much better than the ugly stock bulb.

so when you say "smt" you mean these?

Yeah but mine has more leds get this one. But if you're getting that one get the 5k one, since the one I have they dont have it in 5k color.

Ah poo, out of stock. Should I wait, or get the "HID" ones for $5 cheaper. I really want a bright blue...



BTW: I am so done with SuperBrightLEDS... 1) a few years ago I bought some bright white leds for my LP light...started flickering, then went out.
2) bought a 6 LED blue for my parking light, looked great, but went out. When I contacted SBLeds, they said they can not be by other heat sources, or in enclosed areas...WTF else do you put a LED....

BTW, wont even the best LEDs go bad when they are right next to a hot HID Bulb? I would like to know before I go and buy LED Bulbs again...this time from V-LEDs.

_NeXuS_

NP!! There totally worth it.

Ahh snap I didnt notice there were out of stock. If you got an 05-07 just stick to cheap leds since the heat from the low beam says its going to kill the LED. But some run there LED bulbs longer, maybe v-leds ones will last since they dont got stamped that "Do not use on headlight housing".

Oh ok thanks fella,
So the 08's and above have the low beam in a different location, farther from the parking light?
I may try some low cost Blue LED bulb; thanks for the V-LEDs.com suggestion either way..
