This would be a great how to for the JDM LS460 headlights that don't have the headlight washer so the full swoosh lights up

Shibumi...Is your build done yet, so you can let the cat out of the bag about those lights that you're using?

I wish that I lived closer to Florida because I have a feeling that you'd see ALOT of our car! You do Nice work!

By the way, does anyone know who makes the brightest LED in amber for the Nike lights? I saw that Tee and CJitty tried the 921's and said that they get too hot. I found some amber LED's that put out a little over 100 lumens (which isn't a spot light, but not bad for an accent light to accompany the amber pimps).

Thanks

Thanks for the kind words...an Yessir. ..Shibumi has already taken home a few trophies. ...

As for the nike lights... i did an led headlight conversion. .. it turns out an h1 bulb fits In the opening. Just silicone it in place (plus it'll keep water out) & voila SUPER BRIGHT nike lights.... i will say its easier to do with the bumper off......

Fyi i used the same trick for the reverse lights... now i can see all things behind me....

Would these bulbs work for a bright Nike light? You can't beat the price!

Thanks Shibumi! They look Awesome, but that's a bit too rich for my blood (I'm Cheap ).

If they fit, then I'm only out a buck for the pair and since I was going to order some LED's anyway, I might as well see how bright they are.

Gotcha. .. but @ $1 i wouldn't expect them to last long.....if they are what u end up going with I'd order more than 1pr as they'll undoubtedly burn out.... in my cars i always go with reliability... looks kinda of broke to run around town in an 80k car with lights out..... everytime i see a merc or bmw with lights out i laugh to myself..

Let us know how those bulbs work out.. an post some pics of the color I'd like to see that...

You make a good point! I'm going to buy some better ones. My wife has a saying...."You get what you pay for", and this pains me a little to admit, but 99% (actually closer to 100%) of the time she's right!

I've found some bulbs that appear to be better that I'm going to try out. I'm still sticking to the amber color because I think that they'll look better with the amber pimps and kind of break up all of the bright white light.

I will post pictures after I put them in though.

Thanks again for your advice and help!
