LED park lights

[Andy_Mac]

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

[Andy_Mac]

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.

T10 or T20 - defo one of those for a Rev.D

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.

[Andy_Mac]

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..

[lerroy]

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 ?

[Pappu1]

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

[sobanoodle]

Done it too, as well as all the cabin/door light - so much better.

[sweedazz101]

So would these work/give the same whiteness???

Would they also work as number plate lights and interior lights? or am I looking in the wrong place

[lerroy]

Pretty sure the parkers on JDM facelift are T20 4 wire.

the number plate is T10 not sure interior

[Andy_Mac]

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.

[sweedazz101]

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.
