TripleL it's great to see you still on CL. I know what it's like to travel. I flew about 100,000 miles with United last year for work. Have safe travels!

Nice JCAT!

I'm pumped to see these projector LEDs in action...spotted them and sniped em from ijdmtoy:





Got em for the 168 front parking lights and 921 reverse lights. Those and plain ol' 9-LED 7440 ambers for the turn signals, which may or may not need resistors...in which case I'll be needing assistance haha. I'm wiring-phobic.

Install the LED's yet?

you wont need resistors when installing them, if u ever plan on switching the bulbs in turn signal to led, thats when u need it to accomodate for the faster blinking effect

jcat_350

got the HID lows, LEDs in parking and reverse installed but not the signals. The signals need the resistors and I didn't feel like doing any wiring yesterday. Everything looks good, but I'm troubleshooting an intermittent issue with the HIDs not turning on, I think they just need the error eliminators installed. Pics to come tonight hopefully.

how are those bulbs for reverse lights?

need more light

jcat_350

they're really nice. My ES tails have the reverse bulbs firing at a 45° angle away from the lens so they're not SUPER bright on my car, but if your bulbs point straight back they'd be blinding.

ngl1145

So if I pass you and happen to look at your lights at 45 degrees I'll get blinded

jcat_350

yes, if you happen to pass me in the evora while I'm backing out for that brief moment you'll be blinded

It's a reflector housing so it shoots the light out the back normally, but not AS bright as it could be if they were firing straight back.

I just dropped about $200 on detailing stuff to correct this mess that is the paint on my car so hopefully by next weekend between lights and paint correction she'll be photo worthy

My brother in law said my reverse LED's are blinding as well. There is no light diffuser to prevent blinding. Can't wait to see your setup.
