    Is there any chance of me talking you into compiling an LED bulb replacement list? Maybe write it up as an info sheet and get it added to the 'sticky' notes? I keep looking at the Autolumination.com Site but there are so many choices it's hard to decide what's best. Also, I can show that list to SWMBO for gift-giving occasions.
  • da9broda9bro Wagonist
    superbrightleds.com has pretty much every light listed. you pick your vehicle and then search the lights that are on the vehicle and they tell you what led to use.

    well its all on choice and how bright you want to be ....
    like my reverse lights .... but they have new bright leds that i am gonna test maybe next week..!!

    the corners & bumper parking lights i wanted the super white but these are older ones i had laying around gonna get the new cree dome top brighter ones next week for the corner .. the bumper i have the switch backs that turn amber and flash for hazard or turn signals... for the amber of my corner i have the 194 switch back (reverse polarity to color change from super white to amber )

    i have purchased all my leds from Autolumination and never had any problems....
    as for searching bulbs i either take out the bulb or search on sylvania : http://www.sylvania.com/en-us/applications/automotive-lighting-systems/Pages/lrgmain.aspx


    ok so this saturday is it ...
    make it or break it day for Scrappy heading to East Coast Honda Meet on my birthday ....

    I remember you mentioning the switchbacks. Do the LED lamps stand alone or do they need a separate relay in the circuit to make them work?

    the 194 switchback i will be running an 8 pin relay to accomplish the desired color changes for me...!!!!!!

    but the bumper lens switch back is just a simple swap out of the single contact socket to a dual contact socket and your finished .. :)

    Dude. I think we were all thinking that, lol. But at least it's not all riced-out!

    Actually, it's almost a logical extrapolation of the he concept of an RT4WD. Okay, maybe not logical but it does take the concept of a mini SUV further along the road.

    your coworker with the jeep is either an mma fighter, or a hardcore fan of the sport. venum makes shorts and rashguards and sponsored a couple of my fights back before i got old and broken.
