LED Lighting Conversion

Not sure what bulbs they use but I like the xtune black headlights. On sale for under $350 a pair. Just still not happy with the full surround drl they use.

 

I am in the same boat with a 2018 soon to arrive that I would like to upgrade the headlights on. Has it been confirmed that that H11 (I've also read H11b?) is the right one for the 2018? What's the H11b story?

 

So is everyone going with the Hikari LED’s? I am totally clueless when it comes to these lights. Just wanted something with great quality and a warranty. The halogen in 2010 are getting old lol

 

Has anyone ever heard of the houseofhid.com site and had any experience with their lights?

 

I am not sure I’m liking the blue hue these new LED put off....

 

What brand of LED’s are you using?

 

None yet but I’m looking at the Hikari

 

Ok thanks man

 

I think you saw the posts with HIDs and Hikaris together against a wall with white being Hikari and HID being a blue tint. I only have Hikaris and there is zero blue tint.

 

I wouldn’t expect the same results in a 2nd gen reflector. Other reports seem to favor a projector retrofit or high intensity halogens.

 

Thanks for the info man!

 

Does anyone have a link to the LED vanity lights? I ordered what I thought was a kit from Amazon only to find that 2 of the bulbs fit (map lights) and the rest didn’t. I found the dome light. Any help would be appreciated.

 

What’s up guys!! I made a post quite a while back that everyone has been following for the most part and gotten great results. I update it when I make changes and find better newer lights this is the most up to date.

And then do it like every third new page?

 

I just found them on Amazon for $327! So tempting!

And Rob.... Not sure if remember our conversation on the OEMassive ones or not. About how the bulbs weren't H11 so it would required all new bulbs. I am pretty sure I read that these Xtune's are H11/H9 so you could keep your existing HID's or LEDS.

The good news, I found the LED thread. The bad news, the product/links on the first page for tail and brake lights are out of stock. I see nothing in the updated list on this page about tail lights and brake lights.

Recent brand, product links???

thanks!

 

Your going to need a dual function red LED bulb. A 7440 or 7443 bulb both should work.

Here is a link to the bulbs: https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...unction-27-smd-led-tower-wedge-retrofit/2614/

You can get those in Red, White, or Amber. You can use the Amber color for the front turn signals. You will need resistors as well which can be found HERE.

These should also work well and are skinnier if the others are two wide.

Do it, I'd like to see how they fit and function.
