Led Parking lights

These are after market Depot lights with BiXenon Hella projectors. Did it my self, thanks to Zam. My Xenon lights are 8000k. The parking lights are LED's, which take away the ugly yellow look. You can buy them @ http://www.superbrightleds.com/1157.htm
You also need voltage equalizers for each light, (sold in pairs).

The parking lights are LED's,model: WLED-x6led wedge base bulb. If you have depot lights they are plug and pla, but still need voltage equalizers. If you have oem you have to cut the parking light plug off and buy a wedge bulb plug from Radio Shack or auto parts place to make work.

HERE IS INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO INSTALL

Hi All
Does anyone know or have the H6W LED for the VW
will work without any type of conversion. I had Zam do my lights but the city lights are just too yellow. Dont have the patience to do load resister installation too lazy.

don't be lazy

Since you have Depot lights, do the same as I did. The Depot plug for the city lights is a wedge type, not like the VW. Just follow the steps and then you will get rid of the yellow.

Also do you have side marker bulbs or LEDs that match you headlights and city lights?

mike430sport,

Where did you find the voltage equalizers? I couldn't find them on the website. Also, the instructions call them load equalizers. What is the correct term?

Thanks
