ok, does anyone know where to get the led bulbs to swap the headlight bulbs out? i know of superbrightleds.com, but i have no clue which ones to get, and how they would look. can anyone help me out? thanks, and jw but does anyone know off the top of thier heads which light on the headlight blinks w/ the turn signal. i know the outer bulbs do, but i think one of the bulbs closer to the arrow head does too, either the 3157 or the 194.

thanks!!!

When the blinker is on the 194 on the outside corner and the 3157 in the inner corned blinks.As far as superbrightleds.com, I would suggest the (2) 3157 25 LED WHITE bulbs and (4) 194 WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED WHITE bulbs. Thats the bulbs that i have been using since i did the LED Conversion a year ago. The 194 LED bulbs crap out and die after a couple months using them so i buy 3 extra everytime i order from them ;)

haha awesome, thanks. and ill def have to wait as they are expensive as crap. but thats kinda stupid how the 194's die out on you. shouldnt they replace tem as they are defective as they should last many years, not months?

Can you see the white during the day? I'd love to get rid of the orange and I think it's legal in my state, I know clear corners are with a white reflector.

wow...their website is ridiculous. I just added the lights to the shopping cart to see how much it will be and i cant find anywhere to check out. Am i missing something?

Nevermind, it was right in front of me. :) damn, that is expensive. $36 for 4 lights.

haha yea, thats why i am waiting. but it looks damn good instead of the nasty yellow. but i can hold off b/c i swapped my inner corner bulbs from the yellow to the clear bulbs we had (the 3157) but ill eventually get some leds for em :S

(and off topic, but i can get a red strobe kit for like $4. is that a good deal?) brand new, just discontinued from optx and i can get an employee discount :D

Thanks buddy, and no the cops never hasseled me for not having amber lights for my turn signals. Matter of fact there is so much illegal things about my car, im sure thats the last thing on there mind is White LED's
(Tint,Exhaust,No Front Plate,Less than 3.6 inches off ground, etc..)

If you end up getting white. Make sure you get Cool White. Warm white is more mellow and dull

I like the 194s, but the 3175s are not really like the pic but they are nice. I'm glad i did not go over 24 leds for the 3175s, because the 24 leds are pretty bright.
