Default Brightest Parking/City Led

Looking to change parking and city lights on a 2010 RX350, so I'm deciding between these two from V-Leds:

http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...78377-1-2.html

http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/G...38587-1-2.html

The first one says the light intensity is 50 lm, but for the second one it isn't listed. I have the 19led version of the second one and it's fairly bright, but not really sure how measurably bright it is. If people have experience with both, it would be great! I'm trying to find something that will work for the RX parking/city lights and fill the lense nicely at night.

Thanks!

Answered my own question, tried fitting in the second led into the RX amber led and cityparking lights and couldn't fit. Too tall, so I'll be ordering the first type, which is this:

The first 1 you posted are better for license plates, interior or side marker but not as parking lights. That model only has 1 diode shooting forward which is way too weak to light up the housing brightly. They have a wide and sharp cutoff that looks good on the license plates, also they increased the size of that model and it looks brighter.

What temp are the low beams? I'm sure you would like the parking lights and low beams to match evenly. If you have something blueish try these..

I currently have them as my parking lights but they are more blue then my 6K's low's.
If you want something really bright, look up the Putco brand that Luxury Mods carry. I'm gonna try those next. GL with the LED's!

The lows are 4300k, stock and don't plan to change that one. I might just wait until those 4led 2watt leds are in stock. The 5000k one would probably be a better match though to 4300k.

^Sam - Nope I have not been able to order the Putco's, seems like Luxury Mods dont carry the model I'm looking for anymore... Send back the defected bulbs VLeds will take care of you.

Oh yeah I got an email from VLeds they have a speical going on this weekend only, might as well upgrade to better 1's..

"From Midnight tonight (5/20/10) until midnight Sunday (5/23/10) use coupon code "BFD" and get 20% off everything!"

Post pics if you decide to swap em'

Yep, got the email too... I didn't order from vled with 20% discount. only one of the spider went out..but each on both side. I might contact them about warranty... I don't think it's lifetime like putco. This is my 2nd replacement on these spider light.
