Okay, so the manufacturer of these is willing to make this bulb in 7443 for our car. I need to find out who wants these too so I can give him an approximate number. I'll work with him on lowering the price if alot of people are interested.

The 20 LED bulb glows SUPERWHITE when the Parking lights are on and flashes an ORANGE when the blinker is on.

I'm interested. Any idea you can give on the price range?

THE OFFICIAL GROUP BUY RULES

It is all right for you to run this feeler thread and find out how many people will be interested in this.

You should contact the vendor and find out how many people he would need in order to establish prices and specifications.

When you reach that minimum, you can let him know and he would have to contact astroboy by email at robb(at)acurazine(dot)com to make arrangements to become a vendor and post in the Sponsored Sales & Group Buys forum.

That would start the ball rolling, and each interested member could visit the Sponsored Sales & Group Buys forum to arrange for purchase and delivery.

We would appreciate it if you would not attempt to circumvent these procedures, since they are designed both for your protection and to provide revenue to this forum so it can continue to serve all the members.

drdamian

would you need a resister, or is it a plug and play...

jmbnova

I'm in...

These are the ones you were talking about on Sat right?

csmeance

whats the price? and also does it need resistors?

zena22

I'd be interested too. I think it does need resistors if they are the same ones I saw on ebay when I searched 7443 bulbs.

I'd be interested too if the price is right.

vkick

Same here, I'm interested if the price is right.

TL Dustin

Hey everyone. I asked him about pricing and will post it here. Expect around $20 each. These are plug and play. The only reason you need a load resistor is to prevent the turn signal blinking faster than normal. Also, I haven't seen any comparable products on ebay?

I'm interested

dmarcus48

Depends on the price.

So, do you have to add a resister, does it blink fast or slow... is the resister built in??? i am interested although, my lights still arent cleared.

Kennedy

Yes, you'll need a resistor to prevent the light conroller from thinking the bulb is blown and giving you the dreaded "hyper flasher".

I'm in... but I would want yellow running lights AND turn signals. If you clear your lenses you'll need the yellow to pass inspection in VA.

I'd reccomend they be yellow on all set sold so the buyer has the option to clear lenses later without having to buy new LEDs. Yellow LEDs behind a yellow lens will have great brightness.

I also would like a set of 7440 LEDs (7440 are single element) for the rear.

Interested as many if the price is right!

TL Dustin

Okay, here's an update. Which one do you guys like better between these two styles. We can only get one manufactured. It will still glow superwhite and blink amber but its a different looking bulb. They both have LEDs firing forward and several LEDs firing to the side.

$15.99 for this one (15LED)



$23.99 for this one (16LED)

Okay, so now we know the deal. Let's get an estimate headcount. Post here and say "Put me down for ___ bulbs." and I'll start a headcount so I can tell the vendor an approximate to make. The bulbs will take about 30-60 days to be in stock. MODERATORS: I will have the vendor contact you so we can start an official GROUPBUY in that forum.

NFLblitze1

count me in for 2

YoungnTLDrivr

By these prices U do mean the set right or is it EACH??

Will 1 LED more make any difference?

TL Dustin

The price is for each. Check out their website to order other LEDs. But if you want the Superwhite glow that blinks Amber you have to go through this GroupBuy because he's making them in 7443 just for us. I was gonna tell him to make about 40. Which would be 20 pairs.

2 for me as well: the 15 LED ones.

drdamian

can he make it with the resisters built in???

imrantl

count me in for 2

dmarcus48

count me in for two, whichever winds up getting produced.

damnit..I already bought different bulbs last week!!! wish I knew about this group buy. One think I'd be hesitant about though is this...will the LEDs be bright enough??

email_33

I'll take two.
Which of the two do you think would look as close as possible to the HID lights?

threehr

count me in =)

jmbnova

I am in for 2 of whichever style is voted on... You should add a poll to this thread between the two styles and see what wins...

Is noone concerned about NOT having yellow running lights... especially those with cleared or plan to be cleared headlights?

AcurasGhost

I'll probably get 2 if they are ready by the time I'm in the market for some new turning signals around the time I get my headlights blacked out. I don't care about having resistors ... I like the fast blinks.

It is a little "hot" (and by that I mean it's kinda asking for cops attention) by having it white all the time, but I guess that might be legal because the actual turning signal still blinks orange?

trancemission

I added a poll at the request of jmbnova...

jmbnova

Awesome!!! This is for TL Dustin so he can figure out the best LEDs that people want for when his 'guy' becomes a vendor!!!

jmbnova

I think most of the poeple are OK with the lights as long as they blink Yellow to be legal (I know VA Law is this way) Having talked to my buddy who is an Arlington Cop, he says that most cops wouldn't even realize it was wrong unless it didn't blink yellow... He didn't know until I asked him the question... So I think it is all up to what people want to do...

It is kind of like the front plate debate... supposed to have it in VA but some people leave it off....

With regards to legality, it varies state by state. Our laws (NC) specifically say you can have a white (or amber) blinker in the front, and there are no requirements regarding reflectors on passenger cars. However, from what I've seen posted here, most states are more strict than that. You will need to check your state's general statutes to know what you technically can and can't do.

2006TLACURA

Count me in(1 pair) whichever is voted on so long as there is a built in resistor.

crazymjb

Assuming I can confirm with my father that we are clearing the headlights, I would be willing to get whichever one works best in the TLs housing.

It looks to me that the 16 LED will give a better light output (on the sides) than the 15 LED due to the orientation of the lights. The 15 LED has one ring of circular LEDs near the top, whereas the 16 LED has two bands of 4 LEDs each.

16 LED construction looks like a "+" sign with 2 LEDs at the top for each edge and 2 LEDs for each of the four side edges. 8 LEDs on top + 8 LEDs on the sides.

15 LED construction looks like 9 LED in front with a ring of 6 LEDs on the sides.


Another temptation to get cleared/blacked headlights.

AcuraGreek

whats teh difference betwen the two???
