Default 168 Luxeon Parking bulbs are here to stay!

well this only took a year

I finally found a suitable part for the luxeon bulbs. they will fit any car again, but they are only for 168.

prices are as they have always been, 30$ a set. Ill get some photos up on my website ASAP.

white, red, amber, blue are available, ask about other colors, might be available special order.

email me at bauerbach@rasecreations.com or PM me here.

Ill be honest, Ive never seen piaa lights. so I really couldnt say, piaa doesnt really publish the details on its light's output for me to compare that way either.

MGL did just buy a set though; and has piaa lights now. so we'll have a review soon enough.

the G35 also uses a 168 bulb for its parking light; as well as the corner light and liscense plate light. its actually a 194 which is the same as a 168 when your talking about LED bulbs.

the last parking bulbs i got didnt fit in my headlight houseing. Mainly the heatsink was to large, and they broke in the process. Any chance of these being a better fit?

yes the last ones were a tight fit and I knew that, though they should have been ok. these are using a totally new heatsink; looks very similair, but its machined rather than folded.

PM sent about yours.

So these are the ones that last a while right? The ones from autolumination couldn't take the heat and burned out after 6mo.

Ive had mine in my car for a little over a year with georgia heat. and I havent heard from anyone that had them blow out after about a week. I cant test them that long(I make sure they work when I ship them, but Im not gonna make you wait a week); duds do exist, but ussually they show themselves within a week. if that happens I just replace it.

Still waiting on pics ares !!! Your website doesn't have any yet.

Also, as an aside, do you know what type of bulbs light up the headlight strip ?

I was one of ares first customers on these way back when and mine are still burning strong! 100x better than the autolumination/ebay ones. These are the white, 5500K bulbs.







stock vs LED

rear? this is the light size as the small bulb in the tail light; but Im not sure Id suggest using these there. due to their directional output, and that the coloring would be obscured by the red lens anyway, not worth it.

now the liscense plate light, these fit and look fantastic if I do say so myself .
