LED Tails and blinkers

I just ordered LED Tail Lights and Stop Lights. I got the Super White Bulbs.
I installed one side in order to see the difference from stock.
THey were actually less bright and looked kinda Orangy.
I was researching and found some posts on members using red bulbs for Tail/Stop lights. Does any1 have any updates or info on this?
Are the Red Bulbs brighter than the Super white?

Also, i put LED bulbs in the Reverse bulbs and they look great!

Does any1 have instructions on how to install the LED Load Equalizers for the Turn SIgnals?
I'm gonna put LED Turn Signals in Front and Back.
I ordered the 6 Ohm Equalizers then realized i needed 3 Ohm equalizers if you do the front and back...
Do you have to shave the base of the bulb in order for it to fit in the rear?
I noticed the front turn signals were 3157 and rear were 3757 and had a bit of a different shape.

I also installed Xenon Super White High Beams and i'm waiting for the Super White Fogs.

Also got the Clear Sidemarkers with 194 LED bulbs.
Was a pain in the butt to install!!!!!!!!!! Just not enough room to work in that fender.
Finally got it done and lemme tell you, it looks awesome!!!

I also ordered all new interior LED bulbs, including glove, trunk, license, step lights, map and dome

Spent almost $400 in LED bulbs and equalizers!

I'll post pics as soon as everything's done!!!

For best results the LED color should be the same as the lens color. As an example: a red lens will filter out all but the red portion of the light so if the light is all red, none or very little light will be blocked by the lens. The light from a White LED contains very little light in the red portion of the visible spectrum so most of the light would be filtered out by a red lens.


Load Eq's are easy to install. Ground one end of the EQ, either to the frame of the car or using the ground wire from the turn signal harness.

splice the other line into the turn signal wire on the stock harness (peal back some of the shielding on the stock wire, solder in the load eq then seal with elec tape or heat shrink).


and yes you have to shave the nub off the 3157 bulb to fit into the 3757 socket.

Update

Fogs and Highbeams

I installed the 100 watt Super White 9005's High Beams from Autolumination and it is a very close match and looks good.

However, since some members were saying that the fogs were overheating with the 100 watt bulbs, i went with 65 watt Super Whites from Xenonlightshid.com.
THese bulbs are not a close match to the factory HID's or the 100W Super White's that i put in the High Beams.. THey still look kinda yellow.
I think i shoulda went with the 100W bulbs for both and maybe just not of used the fogs for long periods of time to avoid any problems.

INTERIOR LIGHTS

I replaced every single light in my interior to the Super White LED'S. Including Map/Dome Lights. Glove Box. Door Lights. Trunk.
I got the 194 5 led's and 44MM Rigid Loop 9 Led's from Autolumination.
THey look great! Much brighter.
On the Map Lights directly overhead, i removed that shield that it has, and it lights up very nice.
THe rigid loop bulbs for the doors were pretty tricky to get in. The loops are thicker than the factory bulbs, but i got'er done!

Exterior Lights

I sent back the white LED's for the Stop/Tail Lights, and i'm waitiing for Red ones. I also ordered a bigger bulb with more led's for the trunk in order to make it brighter.

Clear Sidemarkers with 5 led bulb = Amazing!

Also waiting for the Load equalizers as i'm doing LED Turn Signals in front and back

I'll keep you guys posted, and i'll try to get some pics up here soon.

update

I got the red LED Stop/Tail Lights installed.
THe red LED's are definitely brighter than the white LED's!!! LOOKS GOOD.

Popped a 9 LED in the trunk. LOOKS GOOD!!!

Here's where the prolem is....I put LED's in the front and back Turn Signals. Autolumination website says to use 1 3 Ohm Resisitor on each side.
I spliced 1 each in to the rear lights just like the diagram shows.
When i turn on the blinker, it blinks normal 7 times, then goes into rapid flashing mode.

What the heck do i do to fix this????
