Ok, I have finally finished my project of replacing every bulb on my car with LEDs. This includes interior and exterior. So what the hell does this do?
Well, for starters, you save well over 100 watts of drain from your electrical system. Depending on your sound setup, this could fix dimming headlights, and RPM drops as your bass hits. Also frees up some available wattage for future mods.
LEDs also last about 10 times longer than normal bulbs. This means, pending failure of the LED for some reason, you will probably never change another bulb in your car again.
LEDs are also "instant on - instant off". Personally I love the effect of all my lights being in perfect sync when I hit the unlock button on my remote. Or when you turn on your parking lights, and the whole car lights up like a spaceship. BAM!
Anyways, I did a TON of research to make sure I got all the correct parts. I ordered all my LEDs from
http://www.superbrightleds.com. I am posting the parts and their purpose here for all of you who would like to do this mod yourself. Total cost was somewhere around $110 for everything.
The quantities listed below include a single spare. I would suggest ordering as I did to keep a spare on hand just in case.
Also note that I included the part number for the flasher to keep your turn signals from flashing fast. The correct part number for our car is: CF18-08

Notice the color difference for the front and rear turn signals. The rear bulbs are white and the fronts are amber. This is for the stock look. You could order different colors to get different effects, but I did not try this.
