LED bulbs for sidewedge/interior, anyone got them?
I am about to order the LED bulbs from autodynamics, the piaa extreme white just doesn't match the HIDs, does anyone have LEDs on? do they fade at all? will they fit into our housings for the 168 sizes?
these are the 168 size,

I minus well buy some dome bulbs too, 1 3/16 inch will fit right?
http://209.87.151.155/search_results...l=2&subcat=458
1156 | 1157 | 3157
will any of these applications fit on our car?
thanks for any feedback

2nd Gen ppl complained the the regular LED bulbs werent bright enough in their roadlamps but had a nice color so the super bright shouldnt be too bright at all. As far as fading goes, LEDs never fade thats what so nice about them. Are you getting the blue ones or the white ones? I want to get them because my polargs dont match at all but i wasnt sure which color to get. I know my HIDs are bluish but im pretty sure if i get blue LEDs it will look like my door led which is bright bright blue.

I've the 194 4LEDS wedge bulbs but for some reason, they blow out rather quickly.
Also, if you're using it for exterior, get the white one. they have a light blue to them too. the blue ones are too blue for outside.

hey i've had the superwhite LED 168s in my top corners for awhile, they look freakin awesome, i love them. They won't fade or burn out either, i highly recommend them (p.s. they're not really bright but the color is great)

cool I think I'll be ordering the 194 in EXTRA bright white, and I think i'll get the dome bulb too in blue, are these the only two types of bulbs that can be replaced from what autodynamics has for our car?

hey aznsucka, autodynamic has other bulbs that fit our car, but the only leds that fit are the 168s and the interior lights. Try this page for the other bulbs (reverse, turn signal): http://secure15.dellhost.com/~d30022...ored_bulbs.htm

excreman, that's only one blue LED? That looks really hot! What are the other bulbs you have behind there? I dug around and took off the blue color condoms on the lights and it's a bit brighter but more green i gotta get some blue leds

I took out the small bulb on the back of the gauge and also the small bulb from the ashtray as they both have that blue bracket on them... I use them to replace the two top small bulbs on the gauge so that I can still see the needle and not too bright.
I tried the 4 bulbs LED too but they aren't that much brighter on the gauge.

autodynamics tells me that there is a 30 day warranty on stuff that is broke, like the extra bright LED's,
so what do you guys think, should i get the regular bright LED's or the extra bright and take my chances?

i have the same dash light setup as excreman does and they have lasted forever. my local autozone has led wedge bulbs that say they have a 10 year warranty right on the package. so give that a try and see what u come up with?
