If you ALREADY ordered them why are you NOW asking if they're good?

BTW, I could have saved you 50% off those bulbs if you asked FIRST.

Sheesh, I wish I'd have known that too-you have a source for POLARGs in general or for just some bulbs in particular?

Polarg Bulbs

[QUOTE=imxelite]Blue 9-LED's

What was your source and how much were they?
Have you seen them installed in white and do you think they are better than the Polargs?

anyone else have experience with these?

That's my response... ask first, and go to that website to buy them.

Also, whether I sell them or some website does, what difference does it make? They're still 50% less than everywhere else.

I ordered these from that site:

http://www.terrshop.com/minixeonbulb.html (first ones listed)

......the package said polarg when it came in the mail... NOT no-name bulbs. Email Terry and ask for a pic of the package if you want.

The 9LEDs ARE white with a hint of blue/lavender but are not as bright and no blue shows through when off, like the POLARGS do. I am still trying to find a super-white, super-bright bulb(s) for certain parts of the MAX that DO NOT show any blue when off. Any ideas?

i didn't realize that the LED's were not as bright as the Polargs.
seems all the really bright ones are blue bulbs huh...

i too want a real bright super white for my backup lights because of my tints. now for the running lights in the 2K2 HID's, i saw a pic from someone running the LED's and that blue/lavender tint looked real sweet when it was on all by itself, even if it isn't as bright.

anyone else....

I AM using the 921 size 9 LED bulbs in the 2k2 "clearance/running/parking" lights, right above the amber signal light and it looks real good there but not bright enough for the reverse lights. Still looking for reverse lights.

iselkars2, what bulbs have you tried in your reverse lights so far? which have you found to be the brightest, regardless of blue color shinning through during the day?

Beating the dead horse

I've been through SEVERAL pairs of Parking / Fog lites, including PIAA's.
NOTHING ever lasts more than 6 mo. to 1 yr. before burning-out.

The clearance lites WERE blue/white a year ago, but are now turning yellow.

Question1: do the polarg fogs last any longer than the others??

Question2: are the LED corners direct drop-ins for the std bulbs?

Thanks,
gr

I have polargs in my side marker, and LED in my turning signal (not for long) & there is huge difference, again check the website for pics.

For your first question NO, they do not.

Second question; yes they are, and they look 10x better the other aftermarket bulbs

I have a 2002 SE and I tried the 921 sized 9LED bulbs in the reverse light and it was not as bright as the standard bulbs. The 9LEDs look great in the clearance lights up front right over the front turn signals btw. What size bulb (number: 921 or 1157 or 194, for example), and where did you get them, are you using for your reverse lights?

i don't have any shots of my reverse lights, only of the side marker and turning signals.

sleotta - you need the PIAA Xtreme Force Quattro Super LED lights, it's costly but it's serious bright. I don't even know if you can get it here, the only reason why I know about it is because my sister bought me some back from Japan. If your interested let me know
