Let's Talk Bulbs!
 

In short: I'm working on doing an LED swap on the entire car for every bulb in the car (because I hate incandescent bulbs) could someone look over this list to confirm I got it all?

Here's what I've got so far for my 2008 z06

EXTERIOR
2x Tail Lights
2x Rear Turn Signals (I need to figure out where to add resistors to prevent hyperblink)
2x Switchback front turn signals (Once again, need to figure out where to add resistors)
2x Fog lights @ 6000K (I love the pure white color and it matches the other LEDS)
2x D1S HID bulbs @ 6000k (Low beams, My current are 3000k 'yellow' and look horrible)
2x License plate LEDs
2x Backup LED's
4x Sidemarkers

INTERIOR
2x Trunk LED's
2x Map Lights

I need to figure out what bulb goes in the foot wells and swap those out too but I think this is all of them other than high beams. I'll need to find some decent high beams to replace the halogens.

see the link below......... Jon will take care of all you needs.............

install LED taillight assemblies............ less hassle, improved looks

I appreciate it but I've actually got an LED vendor here in St. Louis that takes AMAZINGLY good care of me.

Diode Dynmics is their name and their responsible for all the lights that was on my 2015 Genesis coupe and my 2011 honda pilot.

I don't have a single complaint about them and I honestly have no reason not give my business back to them.

Thanks for the suggestion though, I'm checking out JW just to see if they have something that DD doesn't.

I used a combination of VLEDs off their site (http://www.vleds.com/) and this site for the bulb size / guide:

Looks like you may have missed the two foot well bulbs.

I've had good luck with Super Bright L.E.D's. The website is not the geatest however, so you may have to call them up directly. Good quality stuff. You also may need to install a diode on the center wire on the back of each tail light to keep the interior lights from flashing when you don't want them to. Install the diode so that the stripe on it faces toward the tail lights. Those resistors do get hot so make sure they are mounted away from anything that may melt.

I've done all of those except the Marker Light because I plan on getting Oracle LEDs to replace the stock units! The footwell Bulbs and Plate are the same as the Map lights. Size 194. The Rear hatch lights are a hoop style so make sure you get the right (562) ones. I installed 6K LEDs in my fogs and 6K HIDs in the Headlights! The Reverse Lights are a pain to get to but I swapped them out too! Switchbacks are next.........

Don't forget the glove box. :thumbs:

I just purchased from JW Motorsports and am very happy with the quality of the bulbs. Their warranty is great as well.

I used Diode Dynamics in the past and was also very satisfied with their products.

You get what you pay for with LEDs..:yesnod:

I agree. Having DD right down the street from me kinda sold me on them because I can just run down there and get new bulbs anytime I want them.

Under hood and vanity mirror lights

i dont know why your rear tail lights are split up into 2 tail lights and 2 rear blinkers...

all 4 tail lights are the same exact bulb, and all are blinkers.
Also your missing the third brake light.

hood light if your car has it
glove box single bulb
as far as the visor goes, they are unchangeable. Unless your willing to go to hell and back, solder, glue, death, etc... you won't be changing those. I changed mine and it wasn't worth the effort

And finally, while I have changed almost all of my lights to LED, I don't see any point in changing the side markers unless longevity of bulb is what your trying to change.

Foot Well LED Strips
 

I just purchased a set of the LED strips for the foot wells which replace the OEM light. JW Motorsports had a special on them and it was easy to complete. End result was great.

I was able to pry the clear cover over the OEM bulb to get access to the socket and then just plugged them in and then replaced the cover. This way I can always return to stock if I want to do so.

JB

which bulbs are those? do you have sizes by chance?

I have used both of these. Great product. Although even though I have told them, the C6 bulb selection on DD is wrong for what they suggest. Make sure you look up the proper bulb in your manual.

You really should go with an HID setup for the fogs. It looks much much better than LEDs.

The underhood bulb is a #561
needs to have the "hoops" on the end of the light, if using an LED the light projection was 90 degrees off I had to modify it to make the light project in the right direction.

The vanity mirror bulbs are a #74
very difficult to change I broke 3 of the 4 original bulbs getting them out, then it's tricky getting the new ones in.

Upper brake lite in spoiler?
 

I think you missed the upper brake lite in the spoiler.

I have tried to find a LED replacement but no luck.

That's because the 3rd brake light is already LED, I believe.

Debatable. HIDs may give better long-range visibility (LEDs do not focus a beam of light the way HIDs do), but fog lights were not designed with long-range, long term visibility in mind. The look is the same if you get a 6k color LED bulb.
