Good-Bye Yellow Parking light, Hello LED
 

After several attempts to change out the incandesant bulbs with ones that match the OEM HID, I found a fast and simple soultion under <$25 and 25 minutes.

STEP ONE Buy (2) 5 Watt 100OHM resistors from http://www.autolumination.com/

STEP TWO Buy (2) Wedge T10 White LEDs available from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...1%7C240%3A1318

STEP THREE Splice in the resistor inline on both pos and neg side of the parking light (you will have extra length on the wire harness if you take out the hi-beam). Each connection will have (3) wires joined together and two splice per light. Reccomend cutt/splice rather then inline splice for soild connection. Wrap with black electrical tape and install T10 LED and reinstall into housing. Total time 12-15Min per side.

Thats it! Its bright matches the oem light AND NO lamp failure indication.

Email with questions!

Where are the pictures??

:)

Will upload pic soon. Dig cam acting up.

Nice Mod

I call B*ll****!! j/k post up pics of the connections,pleeaaaaase!!

Here are the pic's!

I got mine here and they look similar to the ones you installed. No error codes whatsoever. No resistors to install. Just plug and play. Have had them on the car for several months.

I did however install those same resistors that the OP used for the led license plate bulbs. Those work great and no error codes on those either.

Im confused the diagram said u only need to connect to the Ground wire,

your dont look match ...u should get super white instead of blue :p:

Here is a side by side for comparison. His are brighter but mine are easier to install :y. I was just giving some options. Oh, and please take a grammar class. :p:

LEDs > Wedge bulbs

I kinda like the yellowish parking lights and how the offset the HID running lights. Just me I guess, but the parking lights match my clear corner bulbs which are basically yellow and my Brabus fog lights so I think I'll keep em'. Thanks for the writeup though I'm sure people will benifit from it.

I agree, it's kind of a slipperly slope. Once you change one you end up changing everything! (fogs, interior)

Yea, its never as easy as they say. its such a small amount of cash and time for a completely new look! well worth it. I am changing the fog and high beams to PIAA H7 and 9006 this weekend so all the front lights match!

How did the license plate light change out work for you? i am thinking of doing this but not sure how to access the wires.....can u give me the low down?? Thanks!!

do i need to do this resistor splicing when installing 16-LED license plate bulbs?

ordered them off eBay. should be bright as heck =D but i dont want to deal with the errors and whatnot.

Doesn't AZNOptics have these?

I also like my yellowish parking lights, I don't know why, but I think that it makes the front look nice and it makes my HIDs look more like HIDs. If I started with this mod, I would not know where to stop either. I DO see how some folks would want the headlights to match the parking lights.

Steve

why splice when you can buy a canbus type!!!! save yourself the headache, canbus type LED are Error free with built in resistors.....
