Has anyone found any out there?

Having the park lights a different colour to the main HID bulbs has always annoyed the hell out of me. So i figure LED\'s will be the closest tone to that of the main bulbs.

Have seen a few on trademe but am kinda hesitant on buying that kinda stuff from there.

There\'s plenty around, but the headlights aren\'t designed for led\'s so the light distribution is pretty shite. Get some orange park light bulbs. Orange and HID looks fucking awesome

Put leds in mine, cheap as on ebay, same ones on TM like x10 more expensive, you need T10 if I remember correctly. They\'re much brighter than stock ones. Done the same with all cabin/door/boot lights

Might just give the TM ones a go then. Hate watchcing other 3rd gen\'s drive past with the yellow parks, looks like crap.

Yeah, don\'t mach HID\'s at all - get them off ebay. something like a US dollar for two, free shipping, takes about two weeks.

T10\'s fit the Number Plate Lights on my BH5. Park lights and Indicators are a Boyonet Cap type fitting with offset pins. Pull your Bulbs out and double check fittings before buying. ;)

Edit: Stubby T10\'s for Plate Lights too, normal 5xled ones are too long. I\'ve got single white LED\'s in mine.

I put these in mine, light distribution seems alright, only loss is the \'whiteness\' is pretty hard to see during the day compared to the standard filament bulbs. But at night, the colour is great. These ones are dual wattage too, so when you hit the indicator, the corresponding side will get brighter.

Do those match colour wise with the hid\'s. The hid\'s are 4300k and most of the leds are in the 6000k range. Assuming that result doesn\'t change between bulb types. I know 4000k fluoro\'s look way different to the 6000k ones. Suppose any whiteish tone is better than yellow really..

ha, I just started a topic in the lagacy section should have searched better...

I also find the HID to yellow parkers really annoying, glad I\'m not alone

anyone have online links of successful swaps ?

Posted

Have done this swap on a few cars with good results. Get the bright led units so they giveoff proper light and not just are white for the sake if it

Nice little upgrade

Na not for you sweed. The T10\'s are facelift be/bh only for park lights. The ones we need are a bayonet type. They are BAY15D if i remember correctly. It helps since there are quite a few different types that look quite similar.

Never found any in NZ other than trademe, was looking around on amazon and found a few but never got around to buying them.

Ahh ok, thanks Andy.

These look about right then? (albeit pricy)

Get them off ebay - same stuff just 10 times cheaper with usually free shipping.

31mm DE3175 DE3022 3175 - pretty sure that\'s what I used for dome/map/door lights

T10 for the boot light (don\'t get anything super long - limited space there)

T20 for parking lights (rev D!!!)

That\'s according to my ebay purchase history from 2 years back.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
