what size does the rear dome light take?...

I saw dyno's two map lights, two door lights, and the front dome light, but which one is for the back?...the same one for the front dome light?...

the ones on superbrightleds.com

1 has 12 leds and the other has 9 i think..
im thinking 12 would be good for the dome and 9 for the convience

also would red look like ricer?

clkboi do you have pics of what your lights look like?

dyno how would you compare your coolwhite to the stock color?

ok so.. i just ordered 2 red dome lights..hopefully it wont look rice like the blue.
and i ordered 2 leds that have 9leds per bulb for the highbeam.. this should be super bright for high beams rite?

nxt im gonna change the fogs...

im not to sure about the tail lights unless someone can convince me to change them...my whole thing is if your speeding at night, ur car stands out more andva cop can reconize ur cars lights especially if there much brighter then others.. even after you slow down and try to hide between other cars..or does it just effect looks? what do you guys think?

Why wouldn't they work for the fogs or high beams if they were error free? Also, if they leds were in the correct bases for the H7 bulb I don't see why they wouldn't work.

They either don't come one or they flash. They won't work without wiring resistors. The car thinks it is faulty. I have tried led's in the tail lights already.

if you have brighter lights. cops will notice you more period. they will see your **** from a mile away if you have HID/trunk lights. however, ive seen more japanese cars use LED trunk lights stock. (Lexus IS?). so if you do lights, you shouldnt be speeding alll too much. and if you want to, invest in a radar detector to attempt to save yourself.

LED's won't work in the fogs, I have tried. I actually still have the 9006 LED set that I ordered from superbrightleds if you want to take them off my hands.

HID kit is your best bet.

They are yours, just pay for shipping. I don't think I paid that much for them anyway. Just let me get home and make sure they are in one piece, I haven't seen them in about a year.

You can see in my signature how all my front lights look. I bought the low beams, high beams and fogs from this site....They're really a bright light with a hint of blue (I have halogens not xenons so no hids)

http://hid-lights.com/

And I bought the city lights and the sidemarker lights from...

Ijdmtoy.com

If you have any questions or need photos let me know...

Post how your red led's look when you get them...

same here HID's for the fogs from ddmtuning.com with the slim ballast. No problems so far

And PS i have tried every bulb out there even the German ones that go for $50 and they wont give you the white look. You will still see yellow no matter what. I can even send those i have to you if you really want to try
