Lexus GS350 with JDM Golden Yellow 9005 LED Daytime Lights

Posted on 2013/11/05 by Eric Wu

The factory daytime running light on most vehicles is a standard incandescent halogen bulb which produces a dull yellow color. For most people, they would like to get rid of this light and replace it with a whiter bulb so it matches with their other aftermarket lights such as the parking lights or headlights. However, some may opt to run a deeper and richer color yellow bulb such as these LED 9005 bulbs mimicking the early 2000s style of “JDM yellow”. Thankfully, we have a solution for both the white and yellow colors.

The Lexus GS350 of this generation requires LED canbus decoders to be installed along with the JDM Yellow 9005 LED bulbs to prevent issues such as flickering and error messages. This is included automatically when purchased as our DRL kit. Each DRL kit comes with two 68-SMD 9005 LED high beam daytime lights which are available in either Yellow, Blue, or White; in this article we are showing the Yellow color. The golden yellow color that these bulbs have is perfect for the automotive enthusiast who wants a deeper and richer color version of their factory bulbs and also a bit brighter during DRL mode. However, like all our LED DRL replacement bulbs, the high beam output is greatly reduced so it is recommended for DRL usage only.

Audi Style Headlight LED Strip Lights on a Honda S2000

Posted on 2013/11/01 by Eric Wu

The Honda S2000 was not much of a popular vehicle for extensive light modification as most of them are in the automotive road racing culture which relied on pure mechanical and aero performance. However, we do come across some very clean examples of LED light modifications done on an S2000 such as this specimen. Our Audi Style LED strips are typically installed on the outside, but if you have the proper knowledge, it can be installed inside the headlights like these.

Our 20” long, 21-SMD LED strips have adhesive tape on the back of it that can be used to stick the strip onto any flat and smooth surface. They are usually installed underneath the headlight or on the bumper somewhere, but if you possess the experience to open up your headlights, this can be a result. These lights are available in three colors: Xenon White as this example shows, Ultra Blue, and Amber Yellow.

The side-shine capability allows the LED strip to be installed flat on a surface while allowing the lights to shine forward. This makes these lights very easy to install and configure to suit the needs of various applications. These Honda S2000 headlight LED strips are not for everyone, but we feel like this is a very clean example that many cars can use as an example for their installs.

Super Bright 50W H11 CREE LED Fog Lights on a 2012 BMW 535i

Posted on 2013/10/31 by Eric Wu

For such an expensive luxury vehicle, one would assume that the fog lights would be more than just regular incandescent halogen bulbs. While it is generally accepted that yellow fog lights help with visibility in less than desirable conditions, they are also not the prettiest looking items on the car at night; when you take into account that it may be also equipped with HID headlights and LED angel eyes which are all bright white in color. Our 50W H11 CREE LED fog light bulbs are the perfect solution to this dilemma.

The H11 LED bulbs for fog lights for this BMW are the brightest direct replacement bulbs we carry. Each bulb operates at 10W, but has a maximum operating capacity of 50W. This is all thanks to the super bright CREE R4 XP-E LED diodes per bulb which have two CREE diodes on the top inside a 3x magnifying optical lens and eight CREE diodes on the side to provide light from all sides. These are available in 6000K Xenon White so they are ideal for matching similar range lights.

Please keep in mind that since this is used on a European vehicle, there will be error messages and flickering issues to deal with so because of that, we do recommend selecting the optional H11/H8 Error Free Decoder Wiring Kit along with the lights to be purchased together. Without the wiring kit, error messages and flickering may appear which are quite annoying to deal with. Avoid that frustration with the plug and play wiring adapters for these H11 CREE LED fog lights.

Infiniti G37 with 9-SMD 168 LED Bulbs For Parking Lights

Posted on 2013/10/29 by Eric Wu

Parking lights are also known as city lights and are the lights that turn on at the first position of your light controls. These lights provide additional light in addition to the main low beams and are sometimes used as turn signals on certain vehicles as well. Many higher end vehicles such as this Infiniti G37 comes with factory installed HID headlights for the low beams and the yellow incandescent parking light bulbs just do not do justice next to them.

Installed on this Infiniti G37 are our 168 LED parking lights which have 9-SMD 5050 LED diodes per bulb. These lights are rated at 6000K which makes these a much better alternative to the factory color; the color is very versatile and can match closely with HID lights that range from 4300K to 8000K. It is recommended to go with a 6000K HID light for the closest match though. These specific lights are available in either Xenon White as pictured or in 20,000K Ultra Blue which is recommended for off-road use only.

The LED parking lights are very easy to install on the vehicle as it only requires removal of the factory bulb and bulb holder from the housing. The procedure is very straight forward as it just replaces the bulb, but depending on the application that this is going on, it may require removal of other components to access the parking lights. Some vehicles may be able to access the parking lights from the top of the engine bay and some may require access from the fender liner in the wheel well. Whatever application you have, LED parking lights are a cost-effective way to turn that ugly yellow into an HID-like color that is sure to have people notice.

LED Daytime Running Lights on a 2012 and up BMW F30 335i

Posted on 2013/10/28 by Eric Wu

The latest generation of the BMW 3-series is known as the F30 chassis and includes all 3-series vehicles starting from 2012 and up. The non-factory HID headlights utilize a small bulb for the daytime running lights which is the PW24W bulb size; this small bulb is an incandescent halogen bulb so it produces the typical pale yellow glow. Being a BMW, it certainly feels awkward to have such a luxurious vehicle with incandescent halogen bulbs that do not match the sophistication of the car. Fortunately, we have an error free replacement LED bulb for this light.

Our PW24W LED DRL bulbs are 100% plug and play so it requires no modification. It fits into the factory socket assembly just like stock and can be done with a few minutes of your time. Each bulb contains 18-SMD 5050 LED diodes and produces a 6000K Xenon White glow. This attractive color is the same color as our other Xenon White LED bulbs and is sure to turn heads wherever you drive.

The F30 BMW LED daytime lights, like every other European car is configured using a can-bus system so it will detect if the bulb is not properly working. Since LED bulbs draw far less power than the factory bulbs, this is an issue. Our PW24W LED bulbs are can-bus error free so they will function and light up without any distracting and annoying error messages on the dash. These all new non-polar design also makes installation much easier as you do not have to figure out which side is positive; instead you simply just plug it in and you are ready to go.
