question though how many bulbs do you need for the head lights? 2 each side... right? so a total of 4?

and do you know if these will fit in the puddle light aswell?

There is only one parking light on each side, so one pair/order and you're set.

For the puddle light you'll need flank bulbs. Check out this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...de-w-pics.html

I believe T10, T15, etc. are terms only this particular manufacturer uses for marketing purposes. The actual parking light bulb size is 168/192.

They said this will fit better.

http://store.ijdmtoy.com/-p/lp_mazda_c3_02.htm

But the width is 0.45 Inch, compare to the T15 which is 0.5Inch.

The T15 was crazily couldnt fit into the gaps, so it 0.05" any different lol.

ok so i got these. Just wondering what is the difference between SMT and SMD?



When i put them on, they are bluer than i thought as they differ heaps from my 6000K low beam.

i've thought about that question as well when i first came across LEDs

i think they mean the same thing?
SMT = surface mount technology
SMD = surface mount device

i think they refer to the same thing? lol maybe my mind is too simple

yesss i got my 6000K LEDs from v-leds since my HIDs were 6000K, and i wish i got 5000K instead. i guess LEDs have a much more accurate color temp output than HIDs. HIDs defer from bulb quality and depend a lot on power output to affect the color temp it gives
so a lot of 6000K HIDs actually do not have the blue hue everyone says they do.. it's more like a stinging white instead of a warmer white that 5000K has.
