Pete... We're waiting on the details on your new wedgies.

I need something nice and bright for my SC. There's nothing to illiminate (gunmetal housings) so a single bright point is fine. Anyone have any J-51's they want to get rid of? I'm open to suggestions or solicitations.

Guys,

Sorry....been busy. I got these from warden_jp2002 on ebay.....$6.50 per pair....add $1.80 to ship....excellent price.

Seems as tho they look white in my green tinted headlight housings....but in my sidemarkers....there is an ever sooooo slight blue in the white light.

Hell...its 1 watt of LED power....much higher than the others. Normally is just a fraction of a watt.

Pete

thanks for your help pete.

would you say these 1 Watt Led match the stock 4300k(white) or 6000k(slight blue) better? I'm looking for something that matches 4300k or white with no blue tint.

IMO....in my wedge (w. the green tint housings)...it pretty White....matches 4300K very well.

Will not match 6000K.....which i got.....cuz 6000K is white with a slight purple tint.

BUT from afar, it looks....these wedges look like they match no matter if its 4300K or 6000K.

At $6.50 per pair....its worth a shot.

pete,

one more question. the inverted led that warden sells, are these more on the white side or blue? at 50 cents, it's a bargain.

Its dim...not as bright as I would like them to be.

Pete, when looking at these 1W LEDs from straight ahead, does it spread the light in the housing or is it just a pinpoint of light? Would you happen to have a picture taken directly straight on it?

These 1 watt LEDs really spread them sideways....nearly 180 degrees.....and uses the housing reflectors.

agreed, the 1watt doesnt match the stock hid color with clear lenses. maybe it looks different with greenish tint?

anyone else have any luck with the wedge bulbs?
