Awesome J that you continue to be the LED researcher of the forum.

I have a new found distributor for LED's now ---- so 2 good things are about to happen.

1. The price of the LED upgrade is going to drop
2. All of the wedge based bulbs can be upgraded to these super dupa 36 LED's

 

Looks sweet!

 

Thanks man! Damn I got 20 LED's for all of mine, now 36!!?? I'm going to have to step up again? This LED technology is moving waaaay to fast!! So what's the price GEC???

 

Yeah whats the price since i just spent $181 bux on LED light bulbs

 

Damn bro...what the hell you buying...the new price is $440 --- you can check my thread at the below link --- Kenny

Kenny not that LED conversion but the bulbs in the taillights and front blinkers(just like jsmith's car) sorry for the confusion but at that price($440) im gonna start lookin for replacement parts so i can send you my instrument cluster and all parts that you need to do that in white/blue unless you are coming to south florida anytime soon?....... Oh BTW jay sorry for bitin your style bro but it looks too good to pass up

 

No worries man, that's why were all here!! I'm sure we'll never see each other on the road anytime soon!!

 

I got all the pieces already...I can do them up and send them down..swap em out and send me yours back...or just overnight your stuff...its 36 dollars to overnight from fla to ri --- kenny

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Kenny how many miles are on the odometer that you have? my car just turned 20k

 

So did you get them and install them yet?

 

J, I just got home and they were in the mail so i will put them in tonight but only prob is that my USB cable for my camera is lost but maybe i will have a friend take some shots and will go from there but thanks for being the "PIONEER" for all of my mods so far to date

 

Sweet, let me know if you have any questions on anything.
And as for being a "pioneer", I prefer "frontiersman" lol

 

I put in the front switchbacks and they look awesome but when i tried the rears i broke all 4 trying to get them in and i treated them with kid gloves WTF so now im gonna call autolumination and either get a refund or gonna have to find another brand of LED that fits a hell of alot better!!!! bro im so pissed right now $100 bux down the drain how did you get them in without breaking them plus when i put them in the sockets all my other lights went nuts

 

The rears were a tight fit (as I mentioned in my "how to") But I eventually got them in there. That sucks man! What do you mean by the other lights went nuts?

 

Hey Jsmith, I think you might have missed my question? I really like these bulbs. Somewhat of a light ***** myself.

 

nice install.. looks hot

 

Sorry about that! I used 3 ohm load equalizers, which cover the front and back so I never messed with the front. You just need a signal tester to see which one blinks...
Sorry not more help on this one!!

 

Yep they went haywire...... i tried to get one bulb in the brake socket and that was a task in itself but it finally went in with a little muscle but when i stepped on the brake pedal all of my lights came on like front blinkers, instrument cluster,reverse lights and they were very faint so i didnt like them but then i tried the rear blinkers same thing but if i wiggled the bulb and held it just right they looked good with the hazzards on but blinkers were on warp speed but these bulbs if only they were like a 16th of an inch smaller it would be no problem

 

That's weird, I've never heard of that happening...

 

how about trying to get a GD on this lights??.

 

I just ordered the bulbs but i didnt get the resistors. Will anything happen to the bulbs other than having them blink fast ?

 

Nope!!!!!!

 

Hey GEC,..... can you still get a deal on those 36LED light bulbs? if so hit me up with a price im willing to try them out

 

How's the installation? is it just plug and play?

 

Read up in the stickies NEWB!!! There's lot of good info in there including how to's for the front and rear bulb replacements...

(and by the way for these yes plug and play except for the load resistors)

 

Technically the LEDs would burn out faster, because there is too much power going to the bulb. Just imagine anything electronic with too much power going to it for a long period of time, failure is inevitable.

 

How much did they cost, and is the installation difficult?

 

Please see posts #1-8....

 

Yeah but they arent always flashing. Only while the turn signal is on.

Theyre $24.99 Each. My order has shipped out today so hopefully I'll recieve them in a few days.

 

I was wondering what bulb this was....I know you have a link in the first post but what one is it on website.....1157...3157...7443??? Thanks in advance..

 

It's the 1157,this is the only bulb on the car that has the metal bayonet base instead of the plastic wedge type. (not sure why it's the only one but anyways)

And for the record the "56" vs. "57" (whether 11-- or 30--) Tells you what kind of bulb it is:
Dual purpose (filament)1157 & 3057 bulb, like parking light and brake/blinker.
Single purpose 1156 & 3056 (our cars only have one 3056 bulb used in the cornering lights)

 

never knew that......sounds good thanks....think I will order them today and see how it comes out.....THANKS!!!

 

got them installed. AMAZING.

Nice max5... any trouble gettin them in there? How was the resistor wire up? What color wires did you splice into?

 

Lol i didnt install the resistors..

 

ohh and u have to toggle them a little. Its a tight fit, but they go in.

 

Read the sticky I posted for the wire info....

 

I thought by not using the resistors, you get that insane fast flashing? But yours seem to be flashing normally?

 

Yes they do? What's the deal with that?
