I'll sell you my set of white leds for the corner lights. I won't be using them anymore, in a couple of days my AE Cefiro fogs will be coming and I wont need them. Let me know if you want them?

I had LEDs in them before, found the light to be stronger and more focused with the Halogens.

well you can't get the halogens in amber, there white only, you can get LEDs in amber. but i realy don't think that will work to well, look good, eh maybe get a standard 1156 amber and toss it in first there cheep and will let you know how it will look.

The AE fogs are a diffrent design. But, they fit into the factory opening.

TSI hope you don't mind me using your pic.....

When it comes to cheaper LEDs that's true. My 1156's are really bright.

They cost me $89 shipped for the set, from China! Where else!?! Gahhh......
I still have to paint them and clear them to match my color. (They come black)

Not sure if the light output is better yet, Haven't installed them??

But, I'm guessing the light output is gonna be better then the stock lense.

They've been around, just not discussed much.....

Here is a link to the supplier. He sells both sides, send him a email to get a discount on combined shipping.

well these days if you have a need you can find a solution for it. i wanted a brighter stronger cornering light, so did a search for halogen 1156 on e-bay, also found a 15w HID kit for the 1156 base. now that would be truly the brightest but wouldn't be useful in every day use. the warm up time would keep them dim to long. be good for a show but thats all. might work for reverse lights.

Here is a link to another orger's cardomain page. That shows the output of the ST-R's. They look to be better in output. I'll be running a 3k ion yellow HID kit in mine also, since I already have the kit.

PS - Damien's I35 is sick!!!
