I want to change all the following to a clean white look:

-Low Beams (to HID)
-Parking Lights
-Turn Indicator (I have the info on replacing the orange insert to clear)
-Side Mirror Turn Indicators
-Reverse Light
-License Plate Lights
-Custom fogs to put in lower grill

The question is what combination of HID type, xenon, LED, etc, would give me the best overall matching clean white look?

I figure some of you guys who have seen these, or combinations of these in person would have some real insight.

Oh yeah, and in case there are any haters, here is the link to my state light laws:

http://www.oscn.net/applications/osc...OKST47&level=1

Chapter 12, Article 2. It is legal for all of these to be white.

 

Anybody?...

 

 

Not all questions get answered here... But i'll try and help...
When it comes to HID color temp 5000k is probably the cleanest white... You could get the oem fogs and install the HIDs in there too... As for the other lights just look for LED replacements that are super white... cool white might be a slight shade of blue, but not too far off...

 

Front Turn Signal: 1157 = $24 for pair
Rear Turn Signal: 7440 = $5 for pair
Tail Light / Stop Light 7443 = $12 for pair
License Plate: T10 = $5 for pair
Backup Light: 7440 = $5 for pair
Front Side Marker: T10 = $5 for pair
Dome Light: Festoon 31mm = $6 for 1
Trunk Light: Festoon 31mm = $6 for 1
Shipping = $6



This is the prices quoted to me from Operatic here at scionlife if it helps. Bulb size is the important number here so you can shop around for prices !!!!

 

Check out Superbrightleds.com. If youre buying HID's, look around here on the forums and find Umnitza ... they sell analog HID's for like $60.

 

I thought I read something about needing a controller if you use LEDs as turn signals because they wont flash right?

 

The lower power draw of the LEDs will cause the turn signal to hyper-flash (blink really fast), so you need to get a replacement flasher:
http://www.v-leds.com/BlinkerWarning...-p4481146.html
You just have to snap off two thin little pieces of plastic on the housing for the new flasher to plug right in.

BTW, with the new flasher none of the running lights will blink anymore when you use the lock/unlock buttons on the key remote, but the audible beeps can still be heard.

 

Is hyper-flashing illegal, or bad on the LEDs or anything? If not, I might just leave it that way.

 

I run 6000k hids on my high, lows, and fogs and have swapped all my led's interior and exterior to hyper white (through LEDMOD you might want to pm to see what kind he uses) and they all match perfectly. To prevent from hyperblinking I have a relay but like cionide said none of the lights will flash anymore when you lock or unlock. We'll see if the varad stuff I'm getting will match the LEDs that LEDMOD has. And if you have the kenwood headunit you adjust the color combination to get the same light as well.

 

why has no one made a controller that will make the lock/unlock flash with LEDs? i actually use that feature to make sure my car is locked beacuse those beeps arent very loud. this is quite a dilemma...

 

You can deal with the tweaker flash by just adding load resistors. I'd solder and heat shrink the connections, though.

 

Yes, you can, but you need to put the load resistors on heat sink plates (because they generate a lot of heat that needs to be dissipated) which need to be mounted in an open accessible area, as well as knowing which wires to tap into. It's certainly an alternative, but not nearly as easy as just giving up your light flashers with the remote. To each his own...

 

I agree! I'd rather have an easy plug in and lose the flashers! :D

I pulled my LED turn signal bulbs because I guess it's illegal in Utah. So said the Sheriff whom pulled me over. I guess I didn't have insurance, either. I <3 cops.

 

I keep my original flasher & amber bulbs under the rear with the spare, so that if I get pulled over I can claim I didn't know they weren't legal, and only keep them in the car in case of a bulb failure. I'll see if it works if I ever get pulled over.

 

what did the Utah sheriff say was illegal about it? the color?

 

Yezzir. He stated that 'white' is not an acceptable turn signal color. It's supposed to be red, orange, or yellow.

Law enforcement <3's me.

 

I wish i could put red turn signals on my car it would match my theme perfect... I think we can have white in Cali.... anyone know differently?

 

White or amber front facing turn signals, amber side markers or side facing front turn signals, and amber turn signals on the front of side view mirrors.

White side markers, and white LED mirror turn signals are a no no.

(These are just the Cali laws.)

 

Damn... i really wanted to get the LEDs on my mirrors changed to white to match my front turn signals.... I had a friend who had green turn signals... But then again it was a raised ford ranger so he never got hasseled.... My car already gets too many looks from the law so i'll leave it alone... :*(
