Looks good! Where did you order the leds?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Thanks! I am happy with how they look, I know its always tough to tell what a light bulb looks like in a picture.

There are much cheaper available, but these ones tend to get good reviews with minimal DOA unlike the ones sold in bulk packs.

Domestic rice = corn?

LED's are so nice. so much more crisp.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

trunk LEDs FTW, see all of those hookers laying back there

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I read this whole build thread the other day. I like how you approach mods and your attention to detail. Keep up the good work!

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Thank you, I appreciate the words!

I did some LED's in my Lexus, but the driving bulbs in the headlights keep going out. Also one in the drivers side foot well. Also it feels like they get really hot and can almost smell the heat in the interior. I'm wondering if I ought to get rid of them and go back to normal bulbs. I guess it makes sense that if the LED bulbs have a much lower resistance, that a lot more current is going through there and things maybe are getting a lot hotter. Is it a bad idea in general to put LED's in spots where regular bulbs were meant to go.

I don't know about Japanese or American cars, but literally thousands of people have changed all of their interior bulbs to LEDs on all of the BMW sites. I haven't seen any complaints about them, or hearing people complain about them running hot or burning out sockets.

I swapped my bulbs to LEDs in the BMW, and the difference is amazing.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

It's pretty common for the C7 guys to swap the trunk and license plate bulbs to LED. I've seen a few guys complain about them running hot, burning out, and/or flickering, but it mainly seems to be the guys buying the generic multi-packs vs. the more expensive bulbs. From my limited research, the $5+/each bulbs are the ones that tend to be of higher quality, while the "20 for $10" type deals typically are not, with the mentioned issues and DOA.

JDM! I need to order a few new bulbs for the DD, been procrastinating.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

For a few extra bucks, you probably can't go wrong with a Philips product. I'll get these if the ones I ordered/installed burn out.

You prick. Now I went and ordered up license plate and vanity bulbs to go with my new low beam bulbs. Diode Dynamics actually has a real nice easy to use site and tiered package deals if you're looking to convert your entire car.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Cool site, very easy to use with lots of options.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I've been contemplating switching to a lot of LED's for my Tahoe as well starting with the license plate lights. I also thought about doing the headlights and tail lights on the GSX, but I'm a little nervous after B's review.

I just got done doing all LED can lights in the garage and it is AWESOME! They are my new favorite, I always hated CFL's.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Just buy quality LED bulbs and you shouldn't have anything to worry about. That $5/each mark really seems to be the magic number.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

^^And knowing Brandon, he probably bought the cheapest ones available haha

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

QFT - I just bought some bulk pack of LED's off amazon.

I will have to try some other ones I think. But hard to know what the good brands are and what the bad brands are. But something like Philips yeah probably a safe bet if they put their name on it. But if there was like one site that was a known really good LED place, that'd be nice. Like the FP of LED's or something. That Diode Dynamics place you named, are they a known good LED place or just another random site that sells random LED's?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I was thinking this the whole time. LOL

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Same assumption I made :)
