Brendan -

Looks nice!! But....your LED and 6000K HID looks more blue....I dont see any purple at all now.

What did you do to it?

Maybe the new wires, ballast, and battery has something to do with it.

Pete

ps....You should change the side marker bulbs too.

Yeah, his has more manual features than mine and he can add custom lenses. The Canon Powershot G5 just came out btw. Hefty price but it's an updated version of the G3.

Coming from Honda civic / Acura Integra roots.....ive spent alot of time with lighting...

Those PIAA twin LED wedges are nice, but the white/white look purple compared to HIDS...Not as blue and clean as 6000k. I persoanlly think regualr old polarg wedges compliment HIDs better.

Also, I had the PIAA LED wedges in last year and got so sick of the way the light was so concentrated...this is to be expected from an LED, but the wedge deffinately did not light up the whole running light housing as well as a standard bulb.

Ive never used any of the 2+ LED wedges.....but im assuimg same focussed light effect, just brighter.

when i first changed my running lights i used PIAA LED whites.....
i think they look not so hot.
the LED light is too focussed, even with the little clear plastic diffusion housing around the LED.

I grabbed some regular old pia superwhite wedges and they look way better.

The incadescent bulbs fill the housing with light better than the LEDs do....
this was over a year ago when I tried the LEDs, so some things may have changed since.

I guess one thing u gain with the LEDs is they never burn out....and these rice bulbs blowup constantly

i think i went through like 5 sets of superwhite halogens on my SI back in the day...haha

Here's a pic of my Piaa White LED & my Phillips 6000k. I think the Piaa LED in white is a perfect match. The blue/white PIaa LED looks too blue...
