LED help
Replacing a bunch of bulbs in my 3rd Gen GS.
I'm going to go with v-led's bulbs as I've heard good things. All you experts, please let me know if I am missing anything.
Bulbs
Parking Light Wedge - 194 LED
Front and Rear Turn Signal - 7440
Reverse Light - 921
DRL - 9005
9005 DRL Module
Questions
1) Do I get the 3 ohm or 6 ohm resistor for the turn signals?
2) Do I need anything else?

I got the VLED parking lights and I must say that they are a little too blue. They don't match the stock headlights at all. I'm a little weary for this reason to get the DRLs. I don't want to make it look rice. What do you think?

Those bulbs look like a less blue color. Does anyone have them on the car with pics so I can compare to stock headlight color?
Won't I still need the module if I get the ebay ones? Where would I buy the module?

I have LEDs all around in my Acura.
I'm using 3ohm resistors mounted to the rear. I've had it like this for about 3 months no problem.
One3 ohm resistor can control front and rear. So you just need one for the left side and one for the right side. Total of 2.
If you use 6 ohm you would need 1 for each turn signal for a total of 4.

If you need leds, go with this guy!
Don't even bother with 'v-leds'... Sure they may be more known but the seller above has received praise on CL by many in the past for the cheap price and great quality of bulbs, feel free to check out the link in my sig.
V-leds = same **** as eBay made by the same people, different stamp on it
Except v-leds cost more due to middle men, so why not skip that step? Why overpay for the same product?
Cheers,
Mike
By the way, i would NEVER run those 'led' bulbs in my headlights, the output is far too poor to use IMO. It is a technology that many manufacturers have yet to perfect.
