Etlsport......
I saw a while back that you had changed yours to blue, so today I decided to try it. They are installed, but obviously not correctly, as they don't turn on. Can anyone help figure out why?..... :confused: :confused: :confused: :( :(

did you get LEDs? if you did try taking them out and putting them in the other way, with LEDs polarity makes a difference

Chic,

Just a word of caution:

I have been pulled over here in Colorado for Green LED horn lights and warned harshly that Green, Blue and Red are reserved for emergency vehicles in Colorado with a $500 fine.

Bim - thanks for the warning. I finally got them working today, but they aren't a 'bright' blue, so I'm thinking it may not be that bad. I guess we will see - I'll give them a few days and then change them back.

I got them at pep boys. They have the green, blue, and red that bimati was talking about.

i ordered mine from www.autolumination.com they are the 5 led matrix bulbs.. very bright... i had some green ones before that i got from advanced auto (also seen them at strauss auto) that were just colored glass.. they looked pretty good too, but when i got blue ones like that they were two different shades of blue because the glass wasnt colored right, so i went for the leds

When changing bulb colors, the round fog lights also use 194 bulbs....looks pretty sweet when you match the horns and the fogs. I tried yellow, green and blue before I ended up with everything Amber....My license is missing enough points that I need to play it safe for a few more months.

Takes less than one minute to change. Open the hood and look at the headlight casing behind the horn light area. Twist, pull, change bulb, push, twist. Done.

I put the crystal white LEDs in all the way around the VX a bit ago and they are great. They have a very slight blueish tint through the clear lenses, but not enough to cause a 5.0 outrage. So, far, they are doing great.

Any direct links to the 'best and brightest' lights?

Also...any brighter tail-light options? I don't want to be rear-ended on a dark and raniy night in my Ebony. And the flashing wing light option doesn't appeal to me. I just want BRIGHTER.

I did a complete taillight LED conversion a few years ago and it is highly recommended. I didn't do the work but I was able to commission Mike at ClearCorners to attempt it. Great price since it was the prototype. He even tinted the lense from the inside so the appearance is a nice smoked tint. The lights are amazingly bright. The mod called for dismantling the assembly so I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. Moncha's writeup is a better alternative due to simplicity.

These are just the parking lights on.... the brakes are very intense and good looking, especially at night....
