Whats the size bulb that replaces the corner bulb in the headlight? Not the turn signal.

 

194 aka T10

 

Do anyone know if someone has replaced that bulb with a brighter socket/fog/or HID? I tried a white LED 194 but it wasnt as bright as an incandescent one which i have gone back to

 

I replaced mine with a 2watt 5K LED and love the look.

I havnt tried any smt Leds yet but have heard they are bright. Do you have any pics of them in/on?

 

Pics aren't the best but:





BTW, that is only the parking lights and Nokya yellow fog bulbs. The headlights are off. Without the camera, the LEDs are bright, but don't expect them to light up the road.

 

SOLD! thanks!


out of stock for now...

 

May I suggest Alex's 15 SMD or 9 SMD bulbs for there? Unless you want blue or whatever (illegal, BTW)

These are crisp white.

Here's a pic of the 15's:




You can purchase them from Alex for ridiculously cheap:

5050 SMD are the brightest.

 

I don't see the 15 SMD's listed.

 

Haha Matt I knew you'd jump on this thread with the picture of your max.

The 9SMDs I have are almost identical in light output (bigger SMDs), you guys can pm me for more details if you'd like. They work great in the reverse lights as well.

 

Alex is working on getting them back, I want them for my projects and they are much more of a true white, like the 4300k HID.
I have some kicking around, but i'm hanging onto them until we get new ones in.

For now he has 9 SMDs, I have not tried them yet I have a shipment coming in soon, if this thread is still active enough I'll post pictures of them, I suspect they may have just a light 'hue' of blue, similar to a 5-6000k HID, but expect they should be close in brightness.

I'll post back later this week, I might sell off the 15's I have depending on how the 9 SMD's work out.

EDIT: Sorry Alex didn't see your post above :P Too quick for me.

 

Much appricated

 

Yep, you won't be disappointed in the 194 LEDs from v-leds. Mine are ridiculously bright. sometimes it scares me and i think the cutoff on my HIDs are scattered everywhere.

 

Any place to buy them in stores? Just curious

 

You can buy LED's that will fit all over the place, but unless you spend $20+ locally (from a retailer who charges tax) they're probably garbage. Even if you're spending $20+, they are still lower or equal quality to V-Leds and Alex's bulbs In my experience.

I'm biased because we're working together now, but previously, I had no agenda, and I would have still (and did) tell everyone to buy from him. He sells comparable products to V-Leds for WAY cheaper. V-Leds makes a great product, and EVERYONE knows it, they've established that reputation, as such, you pay for that reputation (usually double or triple the price)

In most cases, if there's no proven alternative, it's worth it. In this case, there IS an alternative.
