Default V-LEDS must buys

Planning to getting all the LEDs for the interior (Front and Rear Dome, vanity, courtesy/door), puddle lights on side mirror, reverse light, and parking light (in the high beam housing), and trunk light.

I have factory HID. How much work would it be to get the fog lights to HID? Plug and play? I will keep the daytime running lights factory halogen because I want to keep my high beam function.

What else should I get? Want to take advantage of V-Leds. Thanks.

Good timing for you.
Wait till tomorrow.
All my LEDS are from VLEDS.Great quality.

I have these 5K 28 LEDS as fogs.Match the HID's very well.Though a bit whiter.

JOE... awesome. Thanks for the heads up!

Those fogs are straight plug & play huh? Thats exactly what I'm looking for.

I just need to buy a few extra bulbs since I got the Sewell Black Friday intrerior LEDS kit. But that only covers the dome's and doors. Pumped to know V-Leds is having a sale!

V-LEDs are great, just know those LED fogs won't really put any usable light on the road, its purely for looks. Its your car, mod the way you want, but i'd prefer to have usable fog lights They look good, won't debate that, but you won't get much more. If you want usable light, get HID fogs.

Killa is right.
With the LEDs,there's a bit of light in front on the ground but nothing close to HID fogs and a bit less than stock bulbs but the look is great.
If you want usable light,you must go HIDs.I find the HIDs and LEDs are fine.When I need more light,I use the brights.

Your factory HIDs still put out plenty of light without any fog lights on. The stock halogen fog bulbs still put out the best light. HIDs are brighter yes, but its still a halogen based housing. LEDs or HIDs would make you happy. But with the LEDs its as easy as just swapping out the bulbs and nothing more.

Does anyone have a link for the best / most approved setup by CL for HID fog lights??

I go up to Nor Cal / San Fran a lot and it does get foggy there, so it would be nice to have functioning fog lights. Does VLEDs sell any HID kits??

Some have mentioned in the "LED Replacement Guide" thread in the last few pages that their door / courtesy light not fitting anymore due to redesign. I'm unclear if it was just the "blue" door / courtesy light or both the blue and white.

Will this still fit the door / courtesy light?? http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED-B...25900-1-2.html
