LED reverse lights is a 2 minute proceedure

If you know how to open your trunk, you know how to replace the bulbs

Re: DarkSouljur's Build Thread

Just ordered the LEDs, but 2 weeks because they're coming from china

Lopes if you want to order them in the next couple days we'd be waiting 2 weeks for them anyways and i'll let you know what they're like after install, that way you don't have to wait 2 weeks if you like the outcome... but if you don't like the outcome then they're only $1 so you're not really breaking the bank and you could use them anywhere else in the car really.

I am thinking LED light swap for the whole car soon! haha So you went with the last ones that were linked?


@ kenny, I did not mean my last post after yours to be rude, i just re read it and it seemed pretty rude and blunt. I apologize

EDIT: OK, just bought a pair of the T10s as well, the last ones linked. 1.79, cant go wrong. They wouldnt fit in the maplight would they? the same ones?

Yeah i get compliments on the eyebrows left and right, it was definitely a good buy in my eyes and i'd recommend them to anyone! As for rims i think i'd go with matte over shiny polished ones but i don't know, i haven't even really looked into rims at all

I am just confused, I do not see how those lights will fit in the map lights.. Is he saying that they use the same bulb?

Re: DarkSouljur's Build Thread

They're not the same bulb
But they use the same T10 wedge

Imagine if you will, a standard household socket lightbulb, now imagine the energy saving coiled lights, they have the same ends, different bulbs

Same concept here
