I had some LED bulbs from my old car that fit. They're not brighter, just whiter.Hello All...
Has anyone changed out the reversing light globes..?? If so, was it a positive more?
Thanks..!!
See post # 35 in this thread. I am very happy with these, bought primarily because I was cheap, and have had good luck with Cree LEDs with respect to high luminance usage on other items (non automotive), realizing, of course, that the electronics behind the LEDs are also crucial.Hello All...
I am following this thread with interest. Especially for the DRL. The only concern I have before actually purchasing a set, is which ones?
At this stage, is there a single preferred brand or model for the DRL LED's on a Tech Pack vehicle?
Many Thanks.
Since I don't have this car yet and might be buying one soon, just wondering how many bulbs do I need for full LED interior + license?
2(?) map light - 31mm
1(?) dome light - 31mm
1 cargo/trunk light - 31mm
2 license plate - T10
?? mirror/vanity light
Am I missing anything?
I don't know the vanity lights because I stopped the project being unsat with the color temp and brightness of the LEDs I purchased (too low luminosity, a little too blue). I don't think I would ever change the vanity lights anyway because incandescent lighting is softer and better for a woman's makeup...that is unless the LEDs got really good, (bright and 2700-3000K, sort of difficult for LEDs to do).

These are the vanity lights I bought, they're pretty bright, seem white enough for me, I'll try to take pics next time.
Wow, thanks. These are incredibly inexpensive for high power lights from VLED. I usually pay through the nose for the high power stuff, but VLEDs has been the most reliable of the internet sites that I could find over the years.
Open your vanity mirror cover... Check how many lights you see...
To all, I suggest you take a look at the lights you're replacing before you even think about buying replacements for them. It's like buying light bulbs for your house without even bothering to look at what application and how many.
Now that I'll use Vleds for my purchase, can anyone advise me as to what Can-Bus proof means? Do I need to order these lights for the reverse lights and number plate?
Thanks..!!!
I am a huge fan of V-LEDS, so far I am loving their CREE P13W's, no issues so far unlike with the iJDM LED ones.
Here are pics of the vanity LED's, well worth the price in my opinion.

Hello everyone. Can I replace my low beam bulbs with a 9006 bulb? Please help.
