Looks like I know what to replace my chrome bulbs with. I can barely see my turnsignals during the day so this should solve it.

They look pretty good next to my 5000K Kaixen bulbs


I got them from www.autolumination.com bulb 1157 30 LED

You also need to get the 3 ohm resistors to fix the really fast blinking

One for each side

i think you made the same mistake i did when you painted the chrome
reflector behind the signal bulb. i have 60 led bulbs and still cant tell
they are on during the day.

It's not that hard to add the equalizer. They come with a quick connect for each side of the equalizer and it takes likes 20 seconds to add.. all you need is a pair of pliers.

Yea, I didn't even think about it when I was blacking out the headlights.. I didn't feel like taping that part off either. It will work for now, I reckon.

I actually have one 4300K Philips bulb and one 5000K Kaixen.. it is a LITTLE bluer than the 5000K.. would probably match best with 6000K.




EDIT: Oops didn't realize I was signed in on my assistant manager's screen name.

6000K was too blue or wasn't blue enough? Maybe you need to go to 8000 or 10000K.
