Need advice with lighting/bulb/LED replacement

karotZ · 04-21-2011, 02:50 PM

Hey guys, I'm really new in terms of changing bulbs - I never bothered changing them til I got a Z.
With that said, I know most of the bulbs/LED can be obtained from V-LEDS. There is too much information
on their site. After most of my searches, most of them just linked V-LEDS website. Can anyone post a
direct link for a right wattage and LED? And in terms of replacing all stock lighting with LEDs, what is the
best or advice what to watch out for?

I'm looking for:
Brighter headlight (I kept reading 6k is the great one)
Brighter parking light
Blue dome/map light
Blue trunk light

This is for the parking light: 2 V-LEDS 6K WHITE 194 13 LED LIGHT BULBS 158 168 2825

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

IMO 5000k HIDs are the best light output. 6000k starts turning blue a bit and reduce the light output by a bit. And check in the sponsored body/exterior, they have the dome/map lights & license plate light bundle for sale. Super Bright LEDs ? LED Lights, Bulbs, and Accessories also have some nice leds. I bought all mine form SBL.

For leds, look for thirdgearperformance on here. They sell led packages. And for brighter headlight bulbs, the stock light gives the best output. 6k does look better but when it rains, the brightness is not that great. if you want looks, then 6k. If its for visibility, stick with stock lights.
