Thinking about LED Bulbs? Check here first
I swapped out all of my exterior lights with LEDs (not including the headlights) and try to do some comparison pictures for ya.
4 LED bulb (much brighter in person):
"Hyper White" bulb on left(has a yellowish light when compared to LED in person), 21 LED on right. (you can get amber LEDs for here, or white LEDs that change to amber when your turn signal is activated):
5 red LED side marker:
Stock side marker:
21 red LEDs on outside tail lights, stock bulbs in center tail lights:
Brakes applied, LEDs in outside two, stocks in center (yes the stock bulbs were brighter here). Also 21 LED reverse light on left, stock bulb on right:
4 LED license plate bulb on left, stock on right (not bright enough with LEDs so I am waiting on bulbs with a higher LED count to try out. I do not recommend the 4 white LEDs for this location unless you dont want your plate seen hardly)
Showing how bright they are, running lights from my front porch:
Front view with Cool Blue headlights, and LED turns and front side markers:
They are NOT this blue in person, I think its just the angle that caught them:
Overall I am really happy with it. The LEDs are not as blue as the appear in the pictures but they have a very slight blue coming off, but nothing to worry about getting pulled over for or anything like that. Yes the LEDs flash faster than stock. I can either wire a blub into the circuit or someone had another method but for right now Im not going to fix it. When you put on your hazards be careful because it looks like you have strobes .
On order is LED rear view mirror bulbs, trunk bulbs, and higher LED count license plate bulbs so I will post more comparison pictures when I get them .
All the LEDs came from www.autolumination.com

Autolumination.com rocks!
I used them from head-to-toe on my UFO!
Wait till you start getting LED bulbs for your home applications

Well your car looks good. I just ordered some of the cathodes for the side grills to act as additional side markers
Maybe even flexible LEDs for the engine bay from oznium.com
