Front LED amber blinkers are GO!!!!!!!!

Just got it done. Again, didn't want to damage the wiring harness or headlight housing so I had to get creative. This one is GHETTOOOO. I'll post pics later.

I used these bulbs from www.superlumination.com



Honestly, they're just ok. A bit dim during the daytime but they look fine at night. I might switch to something better. I'm not too worried because we have the LED blinkers on the mirrors to help.

Otherwise, I'm getting really damn good at soldering.........

Update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok. So I really wasn't happy about the light output so I started trying other LED's I had laying around. These look AWSOME!!!!

Can't find a picture of them now, but these are almost exactly the same.



I'll post pics tonight!

I'm going to have to schedule trips out to SoCal to do installs like Steve!

One more bulb to go. The 194 wedge bulb and I'm seriously done. I just got them changed out with the OEM E/CLS light blue ones too....

I also like white turn signals and have them on my car. Did anyone find out how to change the side LEDs to white yet?

1157 is the same as 7507 except for the little metal nubs on the bottom of the bulb. 1157 has them 180 degrees from one another but 7507 has them offset a little bit. There are a lot more choices for 1157 bulbs so i just cut off one of the metal nubs.
