what are the sizes for the tail light bulbs (both running and brake light)? thanks!!!

 

Don't need em. The factory lights are already LED.

 

Apologies to JLJL, who started this thread, because I changed the title when I put it in the 3G Garage so it would be more descriptive, and thanks to Kennedy for making it a great thread.

 

Thanks Ron... You have no idea how many PMs I receive a day on this topic.

See Post 7 is now my response...

 

^no wonder your box was full, let me what you can do about what i pm'd you about.

 

FINALLY!!! the LED situation has been added to the garage...

now if anyone asks which bulb to use Kennedy has the right to ban them for not checking the garage first

 

Has anyone else had problems with the supernova's I think they are too heavy and I have had 3 get loose wires and brake. I have tried silicone but with no luck.

 

I posted this in my other thread but ill quote it here so ppl can see what it looks like.


THESE LIGHTS ARE THE ONES IN POST # 7 RECOMMENDED BY KENNEDY - Much brighter in person and I'm 200% satisfied with them.

 

Yes the interior LED look is amazing. I never thought how good it would look until I put the lights in myself. Everyone who I give a ride to thinks its a cool feature Acura has.

 

Does anyone know if the supernova leds can be used anywhere else?

I ask because i got myself into a situation where i bought a set from someone. One led got lost through mail because of a hole due to flimsy packaging. And the person i got them from won't respond...

I'll have to buy another set for the plates.. or maybe not because of the bad luck i've had with every of my recent car-related purchases...

 

busy...
already ordered another set for you. I haven't cashed your check either.

relax. no gonna shaft you.

 

heh, i was trying to hide your id ...

well, thanks! i appreciate that

 

Would you say the WLED-WHP bulbs are brighter and possibly whiter than the SuperNova that you use for the license plate lights?

I am currently using the SuperNova's as my license plate lights, but I don't like the slight blueish color that it gives out. I was thinking of trying the WLED-WHP bulbs since they're suppose to be between cool white and warm white.

Would you recommend the WLED-WHP bulbs for the license plate lights?

Thanks!

 

Just wanted to add the flank led's are awsome for front domes,vanity,and trunk due to the angle of the bulb......

 

No the WLED-WHP are bluer than the SuperNova's. I am running the WLED's in my plates now because I don't have any luck with SuperNova's. The WLED's are not as bright.

 

I kinda concur with this statement.
Supernova's are definately brighter than WLED-WHP.

My SuperNovas are holding up fine, you have to lightly bend the contact wire to make sure it gets good contact. I was having intermittent outtages as well, adjusting the contact wire fixed it.

I've found the Supernova's to have some pretty wild variations in color hue. The Autolumination versions are physically identical, but seem to have a more yellow cast Halo effect.

The ebay versions, again identical physically, seem to have a more purple blue cast. I prefer the autolumination version, but not enough to command nearly 2X the price.

 

Thanks.

I noticed that the SuperNova's I received from Autolumination had two different color hue. One had the yellow cast halo effect that you mentioned, and the 2nd and 3rd bulb (Autolumination sent me a replacement cause it went out after 2 days) that I received had a slightly, but noticeable blue hue.

I emailed Autolumination about this, but they replied stating that they do not do a color test prior to shipping them out, so there's a chance that they won't match. My option was to buy another pair of bulbs and try to match it.

 

woot just ordered some =) can't wait to make my car super bright

 

Can we use this



for all the interior/door lights?!

 

I've pretty much tried all p[ossible combinations... my reccomendations are based on this.

They don't work as well. Much larger than the SBL version, doesn't use the reflector as well.

Feel free to try it, but the SBLs perfrom better there.

 

Got my supernovas in .

 

ok instead of making my own thread i figure id post my dilemma here. i have had a set of PIAA TERA 6000K Ultra White LED (9005) for awhile now. for a very short time it was in my RDX. i used it for my DRLs. of course the DRL light came on inside the car. i took it off because it got kinda irritating. just today i figure ill install it in my Type-S and see what it looks like. now for the problem. i installed one side then turned on the car to see what it looks like. looks good! of course the DRL light is on inside. then i did the other side. i went to turn on the car and both of them do not work and no DRL light inside. so i thought the LED was bad. reversed the lights and both work fine. anyone have any idea whats wrong? on the same note i figured out how to get rid of your DRLs without having a light go on in the MID...

 

DNP,

I believe someone else had the exact same issue with the V-led DRL bulb. I think its because the DRLs are wired in series or something. he figured out a way to re-wire them on his 07. ill try to find the thread and link you.

 

here's the link. SCV_76 did the conversion/mod for it:

ahh thanks^^

 

Tagging. thanks for the info!

 

Hi thanks for the pictures. I wonder, the reverse lights, how bright would you say they are compared to the stock? Did the led's make a big difference as far as illumination?

 

Can someone tell me again the part numbers for the door lights? Thanks !

 

See post 7 on page 1.

 

Can someone tell me how to get to the license plate lights? Is it just peeling back the trunk lining? Thanks !

 

You will just need to pop the clips off the outer edge of the lining on the trunk lid and unscrew the 1 phillps screw for the handle and pull that off.. After that just pull down on the lining and you will see the license plate and reverse light bulbs there.. It's very easy and shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to swap out.

 

where do you get the brake light leds?

 

Made me do it. Bout to order.

 

I've got all blue on my WDP, and they look amazing. 06 with the blue guages =).
It's McDonald's.... I'm lovin' it.

 

I'm wondering the same thing. I've got Dom's backup unit with Wendy's camera and at night sometimes things are still too dark to see with the stock reverse lights. If these LEDs are noticeably brighter, then it would be worth the $40.

 

the 18 LEDs that Kennedy suggested are super bright.

 

Wow, just dropped $180 on LEDS. Better be sick....

 

hey guys im planin to order the leds really soon, but i was wonderin is 1 order a pair or juss one bulb per order, also do u guys think wled-x4 is good enough for license plate and interior lights? thanks for replys

 

They usually come in pairs. Its usually described under product description.

 

oh alright, thxs
