    update

    the LED closer to the Tip is your LOW BEAM
    when you hit the high beam, that stays ON
    while the LED closer to the base also goes on.
    Pretty sweet if you ask me and as long as your lenses
    are clean and clear, overall results I cant imagine anyone
    not really satisfied with a set
    The instant on is a nice feature, 1 thing I dont like about
    HIDs are they take a minute or so to warm up and be 100%
    effective.

    All my kits have a 14 day money back no questions asked
    warranty, if you buy a set you have 2 weeks to install and
    use them, if for any reason you dont like them, box them
    up in the original boxes etc and send them back in the mail
    for full refund (all but the $8 S&H we charge to get them out)

    We have some cool panel Dome lites too for our VXs and
    today, I installed come hi powerd LEDs bulbs in my front
    facing round running lights,
    They are huge 194 projector style bulbs, and look awesome nite or
    day, I use drive around with my parking lights on by day
    and they make for a cool DRL .

    above them in my horns, I have matching
    LEDs in there too, a little smaller.

    So when the website says 2 "drivers" are those analogous to ballasts for HID kits? If I'm running an HID kit can I just swap out the ballast and HID bulb for this kit? Just wondering how much conversion work would be required.

    LEDs use drivers, not compatible with ballast used on HIDs

    im still waiting for pix of the led headlight bulbs in the VX. Was still not clean on if the light from the LED's scatter like HID's do in a non projector housing.

    And i like the fog/driving lights and "horns" Do you have links to your site for those bulbs?

    I may have time to do some pics tonite..
    btw, I liked my HIDs in my VX for the lst 3 yrs, no real
    complaints at all from me.

    On the other bulbs, I didnt add it to the site yet, but Im
    hoping to any day now.
    Think Im going to sell them as a 4 pcs Hyperwhite LED bulb
    kit for the horns and front turns..
    The plugs are a little finicky with the small 194 bulbs, if they
    are too loose and dont make a good connection, you guessed it
    of course they wont turn on.
    The aftermarket world when matched with older used parts
    is never dull

    Great and thats good to know. Thank you for being so responsive to all of our questions too.

    My lights above my blinkers dont even come on. I have no switch for them inside, but haven't looked at them to see if there are even any wires or bulbs in them either (plan on doing that this weekend). Should I have a switch for those or should they come on when the parking lights are on?

    you can get to them with the hood open

    Question Incandescent to LED conversions

    Curious to hear from VXers that have made the leap into 2014 by converting all their VX external lights from incandescent to LED lighting. Any afterthoughts or recommendations?

    I intend to make that leap soon as I get the details on recommended LEDs for the VX from Vehi-Cross-Az. I plan to have an automotive shop rewire the front parking lights (round ones between the headlights and turn signals) into manually controlled DRLs, separate from the parking lights.
