Daytime Running Light LED Lights

Hello everyone!

I ordered my new 12k LED Cool Blue Light Bulbs (#194) last weekend and just received them in the mail today! I installed them in the front, and they were really easy to do! Literally took me 10 minutes! It is by far one of the most inexpensive, yet most enjoyable mods I have done recently!

I found the post from Batman_4 to be the most helpful installing the bulbs:

help :replacing bulbs on headlight assembly

It read:
Took me 4-5mins per side. to make this as easy as possible 1st for example if you are going to tackle the driver side 1st turn the wheel all the way to the right so that you have more working space. then get a flat head and pop that little clip that holds the inner fender (black plastic, there is only one). then start to "pop"/pull out the inner fender out which will give way to the lower part of the headlight....look for a long looking grey cylindrical tube around the area where the bulb is (just look and its pretty obvious which one it is)....twist counter-clockwise....pull out and walla! then close it up...turn wheel in opposite direction and tackle the other side. i can take some pics later on this week if needed because i know it may not make sense in just words.

So, here are the pictures I took to help show the differences:

I also ordered (2) 5-wLED light bulbs to go in the back by the license plate. They look super bright and also were very simple to install...

i like it, any details on source where to buy those one for headlight

1hot370z · 03-03-2011, 11:42 PM

Yes, I ordered them from SuperBrightLEDs.com

The product I looked at was right here:

Super Bright LEDs - Miniature Wedge Base Bulbs

I bought the WLED Miniature Wedge Base Bulbs in cool white.

~WLED x6 for the front headlight DRLs
~WLED x5 for the dome lights inside and the license plate lights.

Hope this helps!!!

That is hot

I need to get some headlights my self

I used to use Super Bright LEDs. They burn out very fast when used in the headlights, because of the huge temp changes. Just a heads up.

I'm looking to replace my current LED DRL bulbs as my drivers side one has gone out.

I am not familiar with all the 7 million varieties of bulbs, so could someone please point out the exact one that works, as all the links I've found on here take me to a List of several different looking sets...

I need:

Thanks!

^ all you need is 194 size bulbs. They are wedge type, and really common. When you install them and they don't light up pull the bulb out and rotate it 180*, reinstall.

How have the bulbs been lasting OP? In two years how many times have they been replaced?
