i already pulled the trigger on the 8W 6k reverse lights..also got 2W amber flank bulbs and 2W 5k flank bulbs.. I decided fk it, at 20 bucks each i might as well get both and avoid another shipping fee..plus signing up for v-leds.com newsletter gets you 15% off your purchase..will post pics when i install them

Hey RenatUSSR, i was looking to change my fogs, just wanted to confirm that these are the ones you are using and pictured.

how do they match to the stock headlights? Thanks!!!!

RenatUSSR

You should know that luminious intensity of these bulbs much less then stock halogen or xenon light. 400 lm is not enough.

They should match the stock light.

Hi, 3m ta 3,
Would you pls tell me how to change the puddle lights without remove the screws?
I tried to remove the screw. but still failed to install it.
I really need help for the puddle lights install.

Thanks

I used plastic door panel tools. Gently pry the outer part of the mirror housing
and the clear plastic cover were the bulb is.
Spread open just enough to get the clear plastic cover out.
Take out the old bulb,put in new.
Should take a few mins each mirror.

So i finally got my flank LEDs and my $50 reverse 6k lights..unfortunately i only received one amber light, but v-leds are sending another one. I can say I like both the amber and the white LEDs as the parking light..The amber lights are very different from what I see around, they really have that JDM look. I always see people with 6k parking lights and 6k DRLs. As for the 5ks, I like them a lot too, they are pure white, and I have them in my car right now, but they are more common and they look like they aren't as bright as the amber ones (maybe because they are white which is harder to see?) anyway here are the pics..im gonna throw in a pic of the PIAA lights i got from amazon too..those lights had that JDM look and were really yellow which i didnt like that much.

parking light pics in this order: PIAA, Amber, 5k

sorry for the shhhity pic quality..droid incredible

Also I have to say, the 50 dollar reverse lights are definitely better than the cheaper ones i got before..Renat's pics of the reverse lights are very deceiving because he is backing up and it's all snow (white light reflects better off snow than blacktop)..they are 6k so they are not pure white but they have a slight hint of blue (if anyone has seen the new cadillacs with the 6k reverse lights, they look like that but a little bit brighter) I would say 8 out of 10 for brightness..the cheap $20 ones were 6 out of 10 for brightness

so to conclude my summary: They produce plenty of light, but does not over do it (like you think it does due to renat's snow pictures)..They are not tacky at all..They will not blind people behind you...You will be able to see the reverse light housing lit up in the daytime with the sun out

Very nice. Was pondering about replacing the reverse light. Is it brighter than stock?

Question on Parking Light. Is that the same as where the DRL is at? Same bulb replacement? If replace, you lose highbeam?

Does it give better light at night for the back up camera?

Yes reverse lights are brighter than stock especially at night, during the day time it's about the same. It is not the DRL, those are the parking lights. Parking lights are in the top right corner of the housing on the drivers side and the top left corner of the housing on the passenger side. I did not lose my high beams since parking lights have nothing to do with high beams. The DRLs are in the middle of the housing and when those run, they are the high beams at a low wattage.

I don't have the back up camera, but it def gives more light at night. But it's not ignorant

What do you guys think of the parking lights...Amber vs 5k? opinions, thoughts, comments?

I tried the 28-bulb LED fogs and they were not bright at all. Even driving down dark alleys and streets they were still not as bright as they claim to be. I just bought the V-HID 35W SLIM BALLAST XENON HEADLIGHT KIT 9006 HB4 and put them in, works great!

looks great..

Yep, the luminous intensity of LED bulbs is not enough. HID has about 3000 lm, halogen lights about 2000 lm. So even 400 lm not enough.

I also have VHIDS in fogs, works great too.

But recently I tried to put 5000K VHIDS D4S bulbs in low beams.
I was completly upset with their color temp. I think that VHIDS D4S 5K bulbs have about 6000-8000K cuz they are even more blue then GARAX 6K.

VHIDS 5K in Fogs and VHIDS 5K in Low Beams
HUGE DIFFERENCE IN COLOR TEMP!

Also less light output. (Less brightness) So I put back Garax 6K.
