12 VDC Wedge Base bulb (194/168 type)
With High Power Pure White LED
Our brightest bulb of this type - Polarized bulb

1Watt single on left, 12 led cluster on right.
I also used the single 1W leds for license plate and reverse bulbs (need more for reverse though).

Also, you said that they fit for the reverse lights too? I might wanna switch them up with my PIAA hyperwhites that I got in there if they're similar cause the PIAA's reflect a blue tint on the reverse mirrors and they're kinda attractive to cops in this area.
Thanks for the great write-up!

They work great for reverse, but you really need a true bulb back there to get maximum light output from the reflector. I'm actually shopping for a high output 921 bulb (that's not blue) for reverse.

hey rimz, where can I purchase those xenon 921 bulbs from? I took a look at those pics and they actually look the exact same as the PIAA's and you say that they don't have that bluish ricey look to them which is perfect. I think I might change mine up.

i think they look awesome! ...the pictures don't do them justice...they look better in person...just the other day a guy i work with noticed i had them and basically fell in love with them...he began looking at LED lights for his truck...
i bought mine off ebay...got 3 of them from a store on there at $1.50 each, which was a sweet deal...can't remember the name of the store though...
i haven't heard about or had any experience with those 1W LED your link points too...though i have heard good things about autolumination, but those LEDs might be a lil more expensive than the $1.50 paid...as long as it gets the job done, right?
here's what my xenon 921 bulbs look like:
they're purple colored, but give off nothing but pure white...so in the daytime if you look at your reverse lights (when you're not in reverse, of course), you'll notice a purpleish color inside your reverse light housing...kinda sets you apart from everyone else with no color in their housing during the day...i like it, though i don't have a pic during the day...i could take one though if you like...
