Well i had blue parking lights on my car and i decided to buy some LED blue parking lights , theres actually 5 led's per bulb and i got them on ebay.. let me tell you the LED's are amazing they are so bright and are actually blue and dont die out or turn green for some reason like my old ones did but words are nothing here are some pics...

yea ive seen those, those things are awesome. Do you know what shops sell them?

would those be illegal?

damn i like, do they have withe LEDs for parking lights?

^^ do you have to ask

umm illegal or not i realy dont care , and i never saw these in any shops like auto zone or advanced auto parts none of those.

and those sidemarkers ares supposed to be blue but the bulb is gay its not an LED and it shows up yellow for some reason im gona buy 9led parking lights and but the 5 led in my side markers .. heres some more pics that i couldnt post because the forum shut down

bulb left led right

my parking lights looks similar to yours

glows at night

Wow the brightnest is a huge difference! But are those super white LEDs or blue LEDs?

it says super white on the box

It says the parking lights are white?

no no on the box for the LED's i have it says SUPER WHITE but they actually light up blue as you can see

nice...try hookin up sum angel eyes now

hmm i should maybe i will if i find some good instructions because i need to fix up my left headlights its foggy

what did you search under on ebay ...blue led?

or 194 wedge blue led
something in that fasinity

Hey buiddy. You have the same setup i do. I have 5 led matrix style in superwhite for citylights and I have 9 led for side makers. Do you have hte matrix style 5 led ones? They seemd to work best. The 4 led all forward facing didnt do it for me. Great job.

here are my led lights. 1st pic is hte 5 led for city and 9 led for turn. 2nd is my 4 led forward facing used in my licenseplate

nevermind switch the order

9 led in daylight

hmm actualy i lied i just went and checked and mine are 4 led parking lights and the box has japanese writing on it so i cant read it but it says superwhite, also wondering why woudl you put 9 led in side markers wouldnt you want it briter for the parking lights or are the 5 led brighter then 9? also does the 9 led fit in the parking lights i was just wonderin, btw nice setup

Well the prblem with the 5 led "matrix" style is how their made. They are 4 360 facing leds and 1 front facing led. It is birghter int hat it covers more area. Unfortunatly i coudl nto get the matrix style to fit in the side markers. And becsaue it would not shine in 360 for the sides i wanted a bright as possible to it coudl reflect as much as it can facing 1 direction. It works realyl well. The bit of mirror it hits reflects it all around nice. From the back it is not as bright but still looks awsome.

Here is an ebay link the the matrix style so you can see aht i am tlaking aobut. I deff thinkl they were a much better investment, and i jsut switched hte 4 led ot the back. With it shinning in all directions it looks so much better. The 4 led looked great fomr certina angles becsaue it woudl nto reflect fomr hte back. Deff go buy youreslef matrix ones and put your 4 leds in the back, they looks awsome for the license plate;) Minus the whole blue ittlegal part

PS only problem is that this site sells them by the bulb so they are allot of $$

maybe the matrix ones woudl fit inthe side markers?? i dont knwo, you can try it out. I bought the 9 led ones before getting the matrix ones.

damn thats hot vlad.. i have blue bulbs also, but not leds. after seeing them compared, im gonna get um though
