Lightbulb LED's!

Hi all, first post so I thought I would contribute.

I just got my RDX three weeks ago, thanks to the forum I found all the parts I needed. And look what just came in:



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I'm doing all the interior lights, license plates and reverse lights.

I'll keep this updated

How much did all of that run you? I was thinking of maybe doing the reverse lights and maybe the license plate in LED

128 then I got dinged another 13 for border charges. But still very much worth it.

The LED's themselves look like they're are constructed with high quality materials. They just look amazing. The last generation bulbs still look a little cheap to me.

I also did my Altima years ago so I have something to compare against. My initial reactions are these are 10x better than stock. I just can't stand the yellow incandescents. My favorites are the reverse lights, the bulb themselves look amazing, very high tech compared to my old school altima reverse led's where the diodes are all exposed. The reverse lights are super bright, my reverse cam is soooo clear now, I would probably feel bad for any person that had to stare right into them if I was backing up into them.

All the interior cabin ones are nice but now that I compare it side to side with my Altima I kind of wish I went with 6k instead of 5k. The rear trunk light should be a flank style bulb as well to better light that big space. Other reviews of the dome light really pulled down my expectations as far as brightness but I think they're good enough.

Last thing to note is these LED's dim much nicer than the previous generation in my Altima.

So final thoughts are these are very nice LED's and makes me enjoy my car much more

Pics to come still.

Cant wait to see em. The LED's in the dome light and door seem kinda cool too. Maybe a little to much for me, depends on how it looks though i guess

The only pic of before vs after:









Light output of my new reverse lights vs old reverse lights.




These two pix is me trying to show the difference between 5k LED's vs 6k LED's. Both are nice still thinking the 6k is nicer but less natural.
