I wanted to ask you about parking lights and the license plate lights. What LED bulbs do you recommend? I keep buying 168 type white ones from superbrightleds.com and yea they work and theyre bright enough, problem is, they keep dying on me every 2 - 3 months, and changing the LED in the headlight housing as you now is a royal pain in the ***. What would you recommend I use and where should I buy it from? Also what do you recommend I use for the front turn signal bulbs. One of the two is half dead and the other is perfect. I love the way they look but damn its frustrating when they dont last
Thanks for your help!

My superhright.com's kept burning out as well. I bought a set from ARES (forum member) and they have been installed for a while. Still working strong.

The set of lights he bought were from ARES, not me. Ares makes Luxeon Star parking lights. The superbright led bulbs are decent, but I too have had issues with them burning out. I would say the best thing to do is to make your own array and retrofit it into the housing. I have found that this is much more reliable than buying a plug and play bulb.

"When power is applied, the 15K resistor and 10uF cap at pin 15 will reset the counters to the zero count where pin 3 is at +12 and all other outputs are at zero."

Hey guys, I just want to get a feel on the initial interest for the group buy. If everything goes right, I will start the group buy on May 1st. The target price for the sequential turn with stock reverse lights will be around $450. I will have many options available including the luxeon reverse lights and just a constant on/off led array. The price will vary with each option. If you are interested in participating in the group buy please put your name on the list. I will have more info and prices the closer we get to May.
