Well maybe on the 430 they're H3s, but I just replaced mine (320) the other day with the H1s I got from powerbulbs.

I'd take a picture if it wasn't such a PITA...

I got them from autobulbdirect.com they are in the UK. You should also check out ultraled.com, also in the UK for the led city lights they look awsome.

Yeah, I like them better than the ones from autolumination. I got both but the ultra's were actually brighter. I emailed the company and they said I could return them for a refund but I would be open to selling them.

Do the LED's from ultra have as much of a blue tint? I'd just like something to match a little more closely to my HID's.

No they are the same color as those, just brighter.

Battery drain from equalizers?????

Took my car to the dealer yesterday to get some work done. I got a call this morning telling me my car wouldn't start and my battery is drained. They wanted to sell me a battery for $250. I thought that was a lot for a battery so I picked up the car after they jumped it. I took it home and garaged it I find a battery. The tech said there was a draw coming from the equalizers and he asked me to remove them when I get home. Has this happened to anyone?

15 - 25 ohm load equalizers

Help!!!? I had the initial smoking problem too. The first set worked temporarily..then the LEDs got dimmer and dimmer over a 3 day period. I took them out and worked fine. I have teh 15 - 25 ohms now. Connected one, the light is getting dimmer and dimmer..but the other light is not working at all with or without the equalizer. Any ideas? they both work fine when I remove the equalizer. I am stumped!!

Hmm, that's a really strange problem. Maybe you should contact the guy that runs the site and see what he has to say.
