sounded like a few people had some issues with the city lights I wanted to get the V-LED but I saw a few posted that they went out.. I know they are hard to get in and out of esp the passengers side...so I wanted to make sure to use ones that weere good, anyone know about this warden dude on ebay how his bulbs are and which ones most people use? I really loved the output of the vled ones but am afraid of them going out..
I'm in need of new ones right now and will probably get them from V-LED, all my interior LED's from them have been working great for about 3 years. I had a problem with one that was defective on arrival and it was promptly replaced with no hassle, been happy with their bulbs and service!

I've had two different sets of warden LED's in my city lights and both have had LED's quit working within the first year.

Luck of the draw I guess! I just noticed last night one of my license plate LED's from warden is barely working as well. Glad your experience has been better and I've heard alot of good things but I don't think I'll be taking the chance on them again. Honestly it's hard to know what to expect from any of these places, I'd guess many of them have the exact same bulbs so it's a crapshoot. I'm going through the same thing for new HID bulbs right now, trying to sort things out and get good bulbs without spending an arm and a leg.

oem hid
okay a little confused fellas as i am still new to this car. so i have the OEM HID that my GS400 came with what output are they and to make them brighter do i have to just get a brighter bulb?
#2 i hate the yellow orange or whatever color the two inner lights are i wanna make them look like my low beams so being i have the stock HID in my low beams do i just drop a brighter HID bulb or do i have to get another HID kit to put into the the DRL.
3# One last question guys thanks for being patient what are those two little bulbs in the inner lights and whats their function? i wanna make those blue or red is that possible

#2 - The 2 inner lights are Day Running Lights (DRL). to make them look brighter then you'd have to replace them with LED bulbs
#3 - you could replace them with blue or red bulbs but this may be illegal in some states so you may want to check first.

Hey man your car looks AMAZING non the less. Ima check out those links you have posted. If I have any questions ill definitely PM you. I'm doing the same thing for my 430. But since I didn't know before where to get any of these lights, I couldn't do much. All I have installed right now is the white LED lights over my plate. I can't wait to get the whole thing done. Ima post some pics on here. Thanks bro, your thread helped m %150. SICK CAR LOOKS ELEGANT, LUXURIOUSLY BRIGHT, AND CLEAN!

Having Trouble
I was able to install my left LED DRL without any problems. Super easy. However, I can't even get the driver's side bulb out. It's being blocked by the car frame? It looks like I have to take out the head light to take out the bulb. Is this normal?

Then the squares for the front dome (3) and 1 in trunk. Fit very well and wedged under the original reflector.

super super bright!!!!
I also experimented with http://www.ebay.com/itm/120929631899...84.m1439.l2649 but alas they were too beam directional and blue hue to utilize.
