I'm not impressed by the second pair of LED's that I got from him a few weeks back. He did send me a e-mail letting me know that the bulbs were different from the first set I got from him. Their just not as bright. I had gotten the hyper-whites from him.

I've bought up from Warden and what i've learnt it don't buy the head/fog lights as they aren't very bright, possibly more for bling/race factor. The rest for interior/brake/indicator/park lites are quite nice and really add some good looks. I've changed my interior cabin light to LED festoon and its looks like the new porcshe 4x4 interior lights now =) clean, warm white. Plus I've done the brake lights which as a good side affect now when I press the brakes it almost looks like a red star due to the direction of the LEDs. My 2 cents

How do you get indicator/brake LED lights? I thought those weren't bright enough to be "DOT" approved and without a load resistor, would cause them to blink faster than normal. How did you do it?

When they're hidden behind the red colored lense it won't matter. Plus there's enough chrome around to make it brighter a more wholesome light, the resistor is built into the light so it makes it easier. The only hinderance I had was the rear 'light blown' warning came on which I just reset the power supply which then fixed it. Here they are: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2pcs-1157-3W-...QQcmdZViewItem Personal opinion of DOT, fu(k em, they're just puppets for Holden cause they get it soo wrong sometimes (yes they do a good job taking alot of PoS cars off the road) but when imported toyota's have so much restrictions to devolve components that the local bogan cars already have fitted from the factory , yet when it comes to safety these imports put the local cr4p to shame. Back to LEDs

I bought the type of bulb that I originally got from Warden which was the refractor type but this one is the 6-LED as oppose to the 5-LED. The second set of bulbs I got him from was the SMD's which I don't like.

Super bright 12 led wedge bulbs, the bulb were too tall and they would hit the top of the housing, so i had to do some modification to the connector with a hack saw but it worked

This right here... I actually bought those 12 Wides and they didn't fit so i didn't bother fabricating the parking light holder to get them to fit so i went another route.

These are much brighter all around and look good.
