One word of advice on the license plates lights with the heats sinks. I have had then before and they worked well but just got too hot. The solder on the PCB's got too hot and disintegrated. I eventually with the whole housing swap after the second set went out.

Thanks for the heads up grant! I had some cheap ones last year and they failed on me in less than a month.they would just blink on and off and eventually would stop working

I'm on my second set now and I have the housing set waiting in the wings. The install is a compete ***** which is why I'm holding off.

here is a picture of the fogs and my interior wedge leds in the day running lights.Im waiting for a 6-8 led super bright 6k set to put in the day runners but wanted to see how these single leds look.

They look 10x better in person and I got the 6 leds each on the rear for the plate also in 6k.I finished the inside lights on the mirror but I could not figure out how to get the dome light off without breaking something.If anyone knows a trick please let me know.



as you can see from the pics on how hard it is to mix and match color temps so everything will match.

I will see how the phillips headlight 6k bulbs look and go from there to get all of them to have the cold ice blue look to them.Once I go threw like 2-4 more sets of leds I will make a thread with all the correct brands/temps that match up well.

It is a time consuming job but not too bad. After my 2nd set of $10 LED I figured screw it and do it right.

They look pretty good! On the fogs did you get a projector or how did you mount the d2s bulbs?
