LED Bulbs

[pdt165]

you could put them in your fog lights but leds have no distance it wont do anything but light up the lense

Any bulb recommendations other than HIDs that have the bright white look?

Very nice! Did they come as a kit (front & back)? and was the link the same as the one on youtube?

I believe the DRL's and reverse are 1156. The license plates are 2825 or T-10.

I've seen the 1156 68 led, is that to big?

I have those in my DRLs and they fit fine.

So I have interest in updating my interior, drls and licences plate lights to LEDs. There is lots of good information spattered around, but I find it all very confusing with all the different type of bulbs and whatnot. Is there anyway a person who has done the above can post what leds and how many it takes of each?

Like I've said, I have done a ton of reading on this sight and am totally confused!

Thanks in advance if anyone takes the time to help me and presumably others out with this.

If you look at this link it luckily has already been done for us.

No problem, hope it helps. Feel free to come back here with specifics. Ive done the DRLs, city lights, and almost all the interior, trunk and tag lights. Plus added Fogs.

What brand did you go with? and any issues with life?

Ive bought all mine on ebay thru a seller named vision technology. Prices were very similar to what everyone has posted on Vortex and here. I bought them back in august and have had no problems yet either with life or errors.
