LED parking lights

Postby Bernard » Fri Feb 20, 2009 10:53 pm

I got a set of LED parking light from Ebay, I have to say I think they look much better.
Really makes the standard bulbs look very yellow.
Here's one for comparison.

And all done...

I got those ones as well - they're about 10 bills a pair. Very bright indeed and allegedly good up to 14.9V.

I've had them for a few months now and they're still working (for a change)

Is it just me ?

tbh since i've changed the front lights with facelift ones and fitted the HID's i kinda' like the contrast between the yellowish parking light and the white hid's . i think it says JDM better then LED's

and NO i dont like HONDA's

As far as I know, the original bulb is called a WY5W or 501 bulb.

Putting either of these into ebay gets them
