Did you buy any new 8000 HIDs? If so, where and is it worth it?
Thanks.

I just purchased 2 sets of white inverted 194 LEDs, a set of 7440 white 15 LEDs and a set of chrome/amber 7440 bulbs. Can't wait to get them and install them. I ordered my LEDs from www.VLEDs.com though and find the bulbs on E-Bay.

Wow this is one long thread. I would just like to point out some mis-information here. "Drop-in" LEDs (LED Matrix bulbs, Single LED bulbs) are horrible solutions for exterior lighting. I would really hesitate to use them in any brake or turn signal application. They are simply not bright enought for those functions. These type of solutions are NOT brighter than stock incandescent lighting. If people say otherwise they need to get their eyes checked.
The only way to do this properly is to create a custom array using high quality LEDs. Here is an example of an array I made for my clear corner lights:
Testing Circuit:
Mounted and lighted during the day:
Lighted at night:

ok so i just installed all my lights.. when i get a chance to take pics i will. but i got a problem with these resistors... they dont do nehting.. i installed exactly like paul did.. but my blinkers r still really fast. i kinda got used to it because i changed the rears a while ago and they been fast...
the only thin that bothers me is that the resistors were 17 bucks
ne ideas?
they r 3 ohm

i saw a 06 lexus gs430 tonight on the highway and it comes stock with led license plate bulbs.
looked real nice. i think i will pick up a set of those 6 led bulbs and try them out.
