JDMZ33 -- they look good... do you have the '06 ones ready for sale yet?
They are very orange -- do they match the stock parking lights well? I don't suppose you know what wavelength the LED's are?

MCD i believe is a brightness rating.. I am trying to figure out exactly what color they are... LED's should also have a wavelength rating on them.. I don't suppose you could find that out?

Do not buy anything from Delsa, I am still waiting on a CF front bumper insert and they are notorious for not replying to any e-mails or never contacting you. Look at there feedback and alot of there JDM parts are bad.

I split them open, and used the guts from an '05 led marker and transfered them to a new clear '06 housing, used a dremmel tool to make the openings for the leds in the inside , reseal them and then I just applied limo tint to them and hooked them to the parking lights or whatever the first click on the light stick is. The amber ones do not look good when you tint them and the leds are on, it gives out an ugly color.

Default Have them...

and love them however, in the end, this is really only something you will be able to determine. Three options:

1) Do not purchase.

2) Purchase, install and enjoy.

3) Purchase, install, revert to previous state and sell.

Good luck to you.

Smile 06+ Front Reflectors with LEDs - check it out!

I've just finished installing these white leds onto the 06+ front reflectors. I went with 4 leds to match with 4 orange leds on the headlight.

Tell me what you think.

I had to open up the reflector cover and drilled 4 holes to fit the 5mm leds.




Then I soldered the leds and resistors, etc. I forgot to take the pictures to show the soldering.

Here's how it looks like with 4 leds

I did something a little different to my reflectors (21 LED's), but I wish my '08 was Nogaro Red like yours.

Thanks guys. It was a lengthy process. Opening up the reflectors was a challenge as well.

If anyone needs more info, then let me know and I can give you a few tips.

I'll take a few night pics if I can.
