Check vleds website they sell everything you'll need. Do you want switchbacks for your turn signals?

checked the site, could you let me know which ones you ordered? I cant find an exact match. I would hate to spend 60$ on a pair and they dont fit.


thanks!

I guess it depends on what brand of hids... I got 6k ddm lows and fogs, I ordered 6k switchback from vleds and my ddm's had more of a blueish tint...my vleds wre more like a bright white... I just installed 5k lows and fogs and it matches better... I'm picky as hell, so I went that route!

Oh okay. I am pretty picky myself..but everything seems to match fine. I just run my Halos and fogs from Morning to Sundown - So it looks really hot. Then I switch my HIDs on with Halos & Fogs and it matches very nice as well.

I am only seeing the 5K LED Switchbacks right now..
There are these though: http://www.vleds.com/6k-type-2-dual-...se-1-pair.html
- I have the 90 not 42 LED Bulb..though..but this is a start.

Fogs: http://www.vleds.com/6k-white-28-led...11-1-pair.html - I Bought something close to this..Although I remember spending $90...

and the HIDs: They were factory..but I do have 8k bulbs as well..if anyone wants for free..They look nice..but not that bright lol.

Hope this helps. I haven't been on VLEDs site for awhile..because I have all my lights done..

Is it necessary to add load resistors to the harness so these don't blink fast like most LED bulbs do?

I'm thinking about getting the amber rear turn signal LED bulbs

Apparently if you do..they "last longer..." But I haven't had load resistors on any of my turn signals in any of my cars..and they are still working great! Plus, VLEDs has a great warranty and if you tell them they burnt out..they switch them out asap for free.

Hope this helps.

It kinda helps. Do the turn signals blink rapidly with these LED bulbs installed? Most LED bulbs make the car think there is a blown bulb due to low resistance, so it blinks real fast. Curious as to whether these do the same thing.

Yes they blink pretty fast. But I like that because no driver has an excuse that they didn't see my turn signal..even if they look down at a their phones or are switching their music.

your bulbs won't just blink fast but you're more likely to burn out individual LED's if you don't use load resistors. also, anytime I see a car on the road with the hyper flashing turn signals I just think they're lazy...everyone knows you're running LEDs with no load resistor

I'd like to have someone come up to my face and tell me I am lazy...I work my a$$ off. I personally like the hyper flashing turn signals. It's just a personal preference..everyone has them..try it sometime. I've had my switchbacks in for awhile now..not one LED has burnt yet.

I personally think the rapid flashing turn signals look like crap. I know it also burns them out without the resistors. If I do order some of these I'll take the extra 10 minutes to do it right. I was just curious if these bulbs had resistors in them but now I know they don't.

Thanks for the info

Fog (h11)

Yes they will fit the 2010. All the models have the same bulb types to my knowledge. Check out Sylvania - Automotive Bulb Replacement Guide..and double check just to be sure.

As for VLEDs and their expensive prices. I do agree they are a bit of the expensive size..but just like most major companies who do have heavy prices..they provide great warranties and customer service. I have had burnt or damaged bulbs in the past...and they literally send out the product the next day and follow up.

I don't recommend eBay at all..usually when people go cheap..they go cheap again..and finally realize they could of combined their product prices and bought a decent product the first time. Trust me when I say..you won't regret VLEDs - No..they don't pay me lol.

ROFL, i hear you, you get what you pay for. Not for nothing though, I used eBay for my Fogs and 3 years later it still works for me... best 30$ i ever spent...lol...

http://www.vleds.com/6k-type-1-dual-...57-1-pair.html

they say no DRL, i dont know what that means... I usually drive with the parking lights on and fog, so i guess that applies to me, but why?
