Lighting mods

Okay heres a question for anyone who can help me out - I just did the puddle lamp mod a few days ago. I went with blue wedge LED's from V-LED. They look perfect, especially how they match the scuff plates. The problem: Before the mod, the side view mirrors would tilt down whenever the car was in reverse (for visibility). Since I installed the LED's, it doesn't do that anymore :-(
Any help/advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

That worked perfectly. After Installing the pudle lamps I must have adjusted the side mirrors and left them in the center position. Its nice to know how that works now with basically an on/off switch.
Thanks for the help.

Hey guys i was wondering if any of you who put a LED into the parking light have a hard time making it last a long time. I heard if you put an LED in the headlamp housing they will burn out easily because its too hot for the bulb. I want to put some LEDs in there but I dont want to do it if I am gonna have to change it out every few months... If this is the case any siggestion for wedge bulb alternatives that will give me that nice little blue tint the 6K LEDs give off???
thanks guys
thanks guys

Hi Guys,
A couple of questions:
1) Best matching City Lights, LED or regular bulb, for OEM HIDs?
2) If I change to the VLED DRL, I lose all highbeam capabilities correct? Normally this wouldn't be an issue for me but in Massachusetts you have to get an inspection on the car every year and part of the inspection is high beams. So if changing the DRL to VLED will make me lose the high beam feature, can't do it. I don't want to put hyper white bulbs in either because I hate that ugly blue look when they are off.
3) What is the best matching HID fog for OEM HIDs? I usually just leave my foglight on the on position and they automatically turn on with my headlights. Can I do this with HID fogs?
Thanks! Any pictures you can post as well that show what I'm looking will be great as well.
