Default Changing Bulbs

Does anyone have a DIY or .pdf instructions as to how to get to and change all the front lights (blinkers, fogs, wedges, DRL, etc.) for an 08' 3 GS?

Thank you!

Hi All,

I don't want to be the guy to bring a thread back from the grave, but there is so much good info on here.

What was the conclusion on the whitest 194 bulb to match 4300k OEM HIDS?

Is it one of the PIAA TERA LEDs? Polarg M4's? Polart J51??

i found an LED that doesnt throw error code on the dash for 2GS
this is for the inner headlights for the little wedge bulb

Amazon Amazon

here is what it looks like on my car with stock HID
it looks a little blueish compared to 4300k because it is but it is also fairly bright and has the right resistance (wattage draw) so all is forgiven
overall my eyesight's judgement on it is that these are close to 5500k instead of 6000k

the only thing to watch out for is that these have a polarity to them so if they dont work at first, flip them and reinsert into the socket

Thanks for the Amazon link, I was about to order the wedge bulbs from V-leds.com that RMMGS4 installed but these are $20.00 cheaper.. its worth a shot for $3.99.. I didn't know that a wedge bulb could throw a code(error)..

Thanks

Anybody know where I can find either the Polarg J-51, or Raybrig T10WB RC341, since all the links in this thread are like 6 years old and are no longer accurate. I'm looking for an led to match the stock 4300k hids. I've read through all 20 pages a couple times but all the eBay sellers don't turn up. Or if anybody has any other more current suggestions for some LEDs to match the stock hids, I have the 01 green tinted headlights. Thx guys for the thread and any suggestions

I did order these bulbs some time ago but actually used one for the trunk.. Now the trunk is super bright and looks great.. Thanks..

I'll be ordering another set for my future Retro...

^^ wow the shipping is soo high than the price of product. I bought all interior LED from amazon too but with shipping only 50cents-$1. Make sure you do all the search on every LED time you want (ya its time consuming) for even lower shipping rate.

Hey everyone, pretty n00b status here.
I have a silver 2003 GS430, 93,000KM.

I bought replacement wedge bulbs for my car after one burnt out. I went to a local performance shop and picked up a pair of MTEC 194 LED wedge bulbs. After about 20 minutes of poking around and installing them, I'm quite satisfied.


They match my factory HID's nicely.
