I think you found your key word there. Why not spend 10 bucks on ebay to find out

Austin, dont worry about lumens...the LED's go by Watts....the higher the wattage the higher the brightness....kinda like lumens in bulbs....

you shouldnt have to pay $60-70 for it....you should score it off ebay for like 10-15 bucks as Matt mentioned...

I really hate eBay sometimes. I hate ordering shit from China and Hong Kong. Takes a month before you even get it.

Rather spend a little extra through VLEDs. They usually have promo codes going too.

Where do you think the ones from VLED's are made? I have gotten bulbs I ordered from China and Hong Kong in a few days, maybe a week at the most. Trust me, I was only getting VLED stuff there for a while, and its all the same shit.

those looks good....rated at 5W so they will be plenty bright and its 360deg and hence the fog lamp housing will reflect as much light as possible....

the only thing is they do not look 6000-6500....6000 will have a tint of blue and in the pix i see no blue tint....they look like 5000K to me

Finally added more pics to my "Garage". Ive had em for a while, just forgot to put them in there. I really need to make a progress thread, the only people that see my progress are the local folks

Although there is not a ton of progress going on, so it's probably for the better.

Shit, I'm talking about cars

Wacker Wacker, same here.
No accord fogs but will not hide it back there also. Found something, might buy it and customize it but wiring is the only thing that pushes me away.
Yes I did check DIY and guitarplayer has a clear thread about it but at the end I still have no idea about wiring

I might get orange leds for my front signals too.
Brightness is not the main reason, they are still ok after what JnC did but what I want is, when I turn the signal on, I want light to turn on and turn off totally

Godamn it
I remember my dad saying let's go to the F1 race
after that, totally forgot it
I even missed the race, what the hell I was doing that weekend

MEKO, find a Type 2 switchback. Lights up white, turns orange when you signal. Type 2 will signal amber-off-amber-off.

Type 1 will signal amber-white-amber-white.

I'm strong on the wiring part. It's just time that I have a hard time finding.

Can't get white, JnC blacked out the orange difuser
J. said I would get puple color if I put white led there.. True

and I don't want white, I know it will not match with my HIDs and will make me crazy

I will look for a type that will light up orange, and when I turn signal, same output (brightness) will turn on and off
