Has anyone put in white parking lamps on their camaros? If so do you have pics? I've developed a hatred for amber and want to get rid of as much as possible even if it is just light and not always seen.

 

yup

just changed the bulbs to superwhite.... easily done

 

I used white LED's everywhere:

White LED's in:
Side Markers
Front Turn Signals
Aux in Fog Lights
Headlights
License Plate Lights
Back-up Lights

Red LED's in:
Brake Lights
Rear side "triangle"

 

I found an old pic with all the front LED's on;

EDIT: I've actually been thinking about changing the side markers and turn signals to a really deep orange like on the 4th Gens and C5 Vettes except still use LED's; I know a lot will say "you've got r!ce, change them to the amber!", but I do sometimes like the "flashy"ness of the white, so for now it stays.

 

Where can you get those white LED's for the front turn lamps? Are they a replacemnt type bulb or custom wired?

 

eBay, http://www.autolumination.com, or some place local that does import stuff. The bulb is a 1157 for the front, and 194 for the sides. So you could just search for "white led 1157' on ebay and get at least a dozen results (similarly for the 194). The most I've seen is like a 19 LED 1157, and a 4 LED 194 (where more = brighter/better).

EDIT: Try to get 1157's with a diode.

 

A buddy of mine found 6-LED 194's in a variety of colors. I'm sure they are a little brighter than the 4-LED 194's.

Ah yeah, 30 LED 1156 and 1157

 

TPIROC, do your lights come on fast like the Caddies? I was thinking about doing that to my car too.

 

The bulbs I used have diodes built in to simulate a load. Older turn signal systems rely on the load of the bulb to operate properly; so it flashes at no different speed than with the bulbs - the circuit is unchanged. If you got an un-loaded LED, it may blink faster, or not at all (or the same, really not sure).

 

But an LED is a diode?

 

Thanks for the info guys I have been looking for a way to make the front turn lamps stand out a bit more and I think the 30 LED's should do it! Now should I get amber or white?

 

Yes (led=light emitting diode). He may have meant resistor to simulate the load a bulb would normally place on the flasher relay.

 

thats what I thought...wasnt sure if he knew.
