LED's

I splurged tonight and purchased $70 dollars worth the LED's for the iroc.
Everything was mostly LED already externally, but now I will have white led interior dome and foot lights, led license plate lights and new led sidemarker and front turn signal len bulbs, i already had LED in them but I didnt like the radius of light, so i purchased wider ones!

Re: LED's

These are my old bulbs, LED, the amber ones.
If anyone wants them, I'll let them go for $15.00
just let me know

the first pic is an amber 1157 that goes in your front turn signal, instant on and off. super bright! would look great behind stock lens with the refractor lens still intact.

the second pic are the amber led's that go in your front side markers, these make clear markers shine completely amber when used, looks wicked cool!
didnt work so well in my tinted lens though, it was too concentrated again. why im changing to more expensive bulbs.
these would work great in stock or clear lenses!

Re: LED's

these are what I replaced the above with, hopefully these new 1157's with a much wider angle (360 actually) will reflect from all around my lens housing since its aftermarket with a clear lens.. and be way more noticable. its also a brighter wattage I believe!

the second led pictured is for my side markers with a 220 degree angle of light, should provide a more equal shade of orange in my tinted lens when being used.
if not, im going to have to buy some rediculous 20 dollar bulbs! but im led happy, and want perfection!
my rear taillights are already done and im happy with how they look!

Re: LED's

Travis- How close is that Rocket Ship to being Drivable to a 6 hour round trip excursion? My back is just killing me this past fall and winter from bolting all kinds of stuff together, but I sure have the tools to do most of the body panel work on yours till the weather warms up enough to start laying down color..... I havn't even gotten around to stripping those wheels I bought from you last year for Black Chroming. Nitro-Nicky
