LED Parkers

Postby exaltd » Fri May 14, 2010 3:21 pm

I thought I'd see where people are getting theirs. I'm SO not satisfied with where I've been getting mine.

Don't know about others, but my Bright Light Auto Parts experience hasn't been great, I've gone through 8 T10 wedge bulbs in 1 year. They are SO not long lasting. And at $15 a pop, they are heck expensive. And there's never any service to help you... they managed to get me the wrong coloured interior LED set! I wanted cool white, the gave me warm white. Silly buggers.

I've found that Jaycar has some, and this other very fob place called Sunshine Auto Parts (http://sunshinehid.com/led.asp), but don't think they are that good.

Any suggestions?

I've been buying for these for parkers off ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2pcs-168 ... ccessories

Just had to replace one that burnt out recently, lasted about 2.5 years (used it on my old car)

Got all my LED's from him, good value & service.

Wow Gab, I've not been able to fault my ones from Bright Light! And I've recommended to mates and others on forums and I've only heard of one set that was DOA and they got returned and replaced.

I've still got mine in my front parkers and it's been 2.5 years now since I've had the car and I got these straight away, one of the first mods!

I've been using the Jaycar LED Globes for over a year without any probs.

The thing I like about them is that when fitted they can easily pass for OEM globes as they look just like a normal 5W5 globe.

They are the same size / shape and are slightly opague. No blue glass.
If a cop looks at them they look genuine and are difficult to detect / assume otherwise.

They are brighter than Philips Crystal Vision 5W5 globes (which are obvious/detectable blue glass)

Part No: ZD 0390 --------- Price: $1.95 each
I bought 8 spares just in case of burn-out but havn't used one yet.

Cheers: Sam
PS: Can use them on your rear Number Plate also.
