Yeah very interested as well since I just got my HID's in. Any thoughts on what to do about the High Beams?

Kind of what I did with my car, but I went with yellow parking and yellow fogs...I even tinted the fog lights to have an even more yellow look, plus other cars can see you better. Having the tinted fogs also looks better IMO.

Groovy, I went wild and put green LED's for the running lights in mine. Just need to get clear side markers because it looks a bit off with orange on the side lol. So here is the question, did you put in a resistor so that it would not turn on your bulb out indicator? and if so how big of a pain in the but was it? I need to put one in mine but haven't had the chance yet.

Wink Re: Bought some front parking lights.

Well I got them in and I'm VERY happy with them. @ night they give off a bluish tint as well, kinda like the moonlight. ONLY prob is now my Check Light Indicator is on. No big woop, I'll prolly pull the led that lights it up. I didnt come on when I installed the HiD's so it must have something to do with the voltage going to the new LED's. Anyways here's some pics, lemme know what you all think!

Next project is to put some new bulbs in the driving lights, figuring thats gonna cost a bit, so I might be putting interior lights in first instead. I want blue bulbs!








That's all folks!

Looks really cool but the indicator light is a concern.

Why? It's just telling you the voltage off... no big deal.

By the way they look great!

Fog lights are pretty expensive. My PIAA's were about $70. LEDs of the same type are about $90.

I'd be annoyed at any indicator light on my dash (the washer fluid one is getting annoying).

Methinks you'll have to install resistors in parallel with th eLED's to make it look like regular bulbs. The Indicator detects low or no current draw so LED's look like an open circuit.
