your local auto parts store probably has a few diff colors too, the 3 major stores near me (autozone, advance auto parts and strauss discount auto) all carry red blue and green 194 bulbs almost 100% of the time

First one on the page, SMT towers, are pretty frickin bright, esp for led's. I put the superwhite's in mine..

The least expensive way to get colored bulbs for the horn lights is to go to Home Depot or Lowe's and buy colored bulbs for Malibu outdoor lighting. They fit right in, and you can safely double the wattage (to 8W) without fear of melting the housing.

The autolumination.com site is THE BEST! I emailed them and negociated a disocunt on my next order (that I placed tonight). I've changed the horn lights out and the inside dome light so far. I'm so satisfied with those that I have decided to replace all lights on the VX to LEDs. All together (once my new order is received), all lights will be replaced with the following:

*Dome Light
6 LED Super High Flux

9.99/each


*Horn Lights

ty.. dont forget that when you change your turn signal bulbs you will need to get a load equalizer or a new flasher, they work on building up a charge and when there is enough charge to light up the bulbs, it discharges and lights the signals.. LEDs draw significantly less power, so it will discharge almost instantly... ie your turn signal will flash crazy fast like if you had a bulb burnt out.. pull one of your turn signal bulbs out and then turn on your signal to see what i mean

etlsport,

wow, I didn't know that. I don't know what a load equalizer is. Would this be something autolumination.com would have and is it easy to install? This is all new to me. Thank you very much for the advice. If this is really difficult I'll just cancel those bulbs on my order.

Thanks alot,

Ty

nah its pretty easy, and yes autolumination does carry them.. i beleive moncha went with a 3ohm with good results, you may be able to email them and tell them what you are doing (let them know the wattage on the bulbs you are taking out) and they can recommend something for you, make sure to tell them you only want to put one equalizer in each circuit, they are easy to install, you just splice one end in before your bulb and one in right after your bulb (basically short circuit the bulb with a resistor) and that should take care of your problem, if you do a gallery search for load equalizer, moncha has some pics of his install, (theres also a write up on it in the review section) its the yellow AAA battery lookin thing spliced in with the blue scotch-lock connectors


its a really easy install, the load equalizer is tied into the black wire going to the turn signal via blue scotch lock, red wire comes from there to load equalizer..red wire comes out of the other side of the equalizer and to the white connector, where its spliced with the green wire.. all you have to do is snap the connectors over the correct wires.. i dont even think it matters which side is connected to which wire, hardest part is probably positioning

heres a link to monchas write ups

pm or email me if u have any other q's

etlsport,

AWESOME, thank you very much!

He says "I used the 3ohm model thus using only one resistor on each circuit (lamp) for a total of 2."

So that means I need 2 of these equalizers for the front turn signals and another 2 for the rear?

The rear bulbs I want to use these:

If I bought these, would they need separate equalizers?

can these damage plastic in there or no?

[tysamigo]

I changed my order and omitted the load equalizers to get the Flasher EP34 instead.

Any instructions on flasher replacement available?

I'm not sure. I hope not....

I changed all of my bulbs over to LEDs some time ago and ALL of my signal lights flash fast. Total plus in my book since it's extremely annoying to other motorists and their gets attention faster and easier. Not so sure what the legalities of it are since they WORK, just faster, heh.
