This forum should get a new discount code with all the business we give them. I did the glove box when I did the cabin filter replacement.

Have you installed those fog bulbs yet? Anxious to see how much better they will be over OEM

No I haven't ....been too busy. Just had tint done and I have a spoiler to install. I think I'm going to try and go at the fogs from the engine instead of wheel well.

That's the way I would prefer to go as well. I am thinking of leaving the OEM headlights and going 3000k for fogs.

I want to do 3000K in the fogs as well. Are you looking at HIDs? or just putting in LEDs?

I installed the V-LEDs HID fog kit last weekend and will be doing a DIY shortly. The 6K Fogs look great beside my 6K headlights. Very bright.

I also did the rest of my filament bulbs on the G - city lights, turn signals, side markers, etc. Did the interior and the back-up license plate frame last fall. I think I don't have any filament bulbs left on the whole car!

Do LEDs give out as much lumens to light the area or just look good in the housing? They sure are simpler to install and cost less.

I wonder how this would work for the trunk light?

HP LED WHITE MULTI SOCKET 158 168 194 906 921 3175 211 1895 57 1156

It's a "5" as far as their output rating goes...

------------------------------------------------------------

Now here's what I want to do:

Vanity:

HI POWER SMT 3 LED HID 5K WHITE VANITY LIGHT BULB

License Plate:

2 V-LEDS WHITE 194 13 LED LIGHT BULBS 158 168 2825

Reverse lights (I want reeeally bright lol):

V-LEDS HID WHITE 19 M-SMT 8W HIGH POWER BULBS 917 918 920 921 922 923

I may get these for the door lights, when they are in stock... yes, I know they're blue... lol

2 BLUE HIGH PWR SMT 5 LED LIGHT BULBS 194 168 158 2821

They should all fit?

What did you use for the turn signals and side markers?

Just FYI, I have used both SuperBrightLEDs and more recently V-LEDS. Had to get new bulbs for the backups, because the big 15 LED ***** that I got from SuperBrightLEDs didn't fit the socket very well, kept going out and I had to keep pulling the taillights to adjust. The ones I got from V-LEDS had less LEDS (12) but are much brighter and no problems with the socket. They also cost double, but I am sold on VLEDS now. I have no problem paying for quality. I have also had to replace several of the SuperBrightLEDS since I originally put them in about 20 months ago - dome, door panel light, license plate. I thought LEDs should last longer than filament but this has not been the case with the SuperBrightLEDS. I'll see how the VLEDS stand up.
