Actually all of them as I want to go LED wherever possible, but the most pressing concern is the left front "Parking light" which is burned out...how do I replace the bulb?
Someone corrects me if I’m wrong but you can not go LEDs for the low beam. For the high beam, you can.
The LEDs are available from EBAY.
You don’t have to drop the bumper but it’s a tight
squeeze, you need to have small hands.
Do like I did, turn off your OEM DRLs, install the COB DRLs. You will love them and don’t even need the fog lights, for they’re so bright.
1. The DRL is the same bulb as the High Beam. You can not really replace the High Beam with LEDs as far as I know (have not heard this done yet).
2. What I have done is I have disabled the DRL (actually uses the high beam but at a lower current, hence the yellow beam).
3. I added an LED strip to act as the DRL.
Mandyfig,
Yes, you can replace the highbeams with LEDs as many of us have done. This doesn’t improve the highbeam function but it gets rid of the ugly yellow DRLs. Personally, I just turned off the yellow DRLs and installed the COB (like yours). These can also double as fog lights.
You can not, to my knowledge , replace the lowbeams with LEDs. Others can chime in.
Thanks for the heads up. Which LED bulb replaces it?
For the highbeams, go to Amazon or Ebay, many to choose from. Just remember to buy one with the decoder. Do the search on the forum for threads in this subject.
Nothing you can do with the lowbeams.
The only other light bulbs you can replace with LEDs are the side markers and these are also available from Ebay or Amazon. You don't want to replace the yellow turn signal bulbs with white LEDs because you will lose the turn signal function. I also replaced all interior bulbs with LEDs, including the trunk bulbs, the back up light bulbs (need a bit modification) and the license plate light bulbs..
