VELOCITY LED installed

This is the newest form of led technology using chips much like the 03-05 gauge clusters. I must say they outshine all of those old bulbs that are just a mix of led bulbs thrown together. The brightness is incredible. However, the reverse lights I decided not to keep because during the day they just dont put out enough light compared to bulbs to be able to see them. Check out v-leds.com or better selaction on their ebay sites. search velocity led.

Here are some pics. I got 7440 super white and 194 red for the map lights.



this is the white lit up. They are not lying when they say 180 degree viewing angle. it look just as bright from any angle.



here are my old amber regular led bulbs. blah, and they're the ones that have 5-led put together. still dim. the dome light is a raybrig 2x hyper bulb 5w=true 10w (double the brightness of stock).



now i put in the v-leds



and turned them on. crap they are insanely bright even during the day and way brighter than the 2x raybrig in the middle.



finally the white 7440 in the reverse light. it is blinding at night but unfortunately during the day they dont spread enough to be visible (and there is no stock reflector in the lens, just dull plastic).

Gearbox, can you use the red into the reflectors? (Try at least for the rear side light)

Do you think these would be too bright as license plate lights? I want to replace them with white velocity ones I don't want it to illuminate the whole bumper lol

they will prolly be dim, cause the way they mount, all the light shines forward and not down through the lens. look at your plate lights and you'll see this.
