If you want bluish the 5050 are gonna be best like Tony said, the Samsung 2323 are generally whiter although the ones I have in my city lights now are closer to 6000k than the other set I've got in my reverse lights.

I went through a bunch of cheap eBay bulbs and a few v-led bulbs in my city lights, I've started to wonder if the heat from the high beam bulb shortens their life a bit.

What about the lights in the console for heated seat switches and VSC etc?

Can those be found in LED's or different colors?

Ok Ok....for my DRL I went with the iJDMTOY brand. I never hooked up the relay decoder thing though so they only run at like 50%. They are much bluer than my 6000k HID headlights also.

Anybody else use this brand....for DRL or any other LEDs....these are the ones I bought for my DRL a few months back.

You mean for your DRL's? Ya dude I love the way they look now. And like I said I never hooked up the decoder. Im not sure what exactly it is for...maybe so that they stay running while my headlights are on? All I know is I do not have the decoder hooked up and the DRL's run at 50%....I can then still switch them to my highbeams and they will come on at 100%. Ill go outside and take a pic real quick since its dark now so you guys can see.

Ok so here are some pics of my DRL LED setup from iJDMTOY.com

Like I said before I did not hook up the decoder which I think will allow me to run my DRL with my fogs on at the same time...not completely sure though so if someone knows and could clarify that be great. On to some pics...


The first 2 are just the DRL running while car is on park. The last picture is high beams on while headlights are also on. My headlights are 6000K HID and its hard to tell from the picture but the LEDs are much darker of a blue.

No resistor....just came with the decoder which I did not hook up yet. Eventually I will get around to it. Here is a picture of it....
