i keep forgetting the "driving" lights are the park lights... depending who you talk too... :-P

how bright did it make it?

longleader

I would say about 5x brighter then stock, I like the look

On the older USA models they are really just running/parking lights, I believe the ROW cars actually had driving lights. later models for both USA/ROW had real driving lights (supplemental high beams)...
The running lights serve very little real purpose, brighter would be good...

Anyone have a PIC of the LED in the parking (driving) lamp housing? How much light is thrown to the road?

Wasn't there some discussion about LEDs being too long for the existing location?

The super bright ones shown in the links are not all that "super bright"
Try their 18 smd's or if you really want bright try the 45 smd, like I use for my back up lights (may be to bright up front).
I currently have the 18 smd's installed up front.

Edit: they are not too long, and won't melt the plastic

I have these installed (Cool White color) in my 83' and no fit issues at all, Ill try and get a few Pics and maybe a video in a day or two.

Larry,
Your car is USA right? So you have "parking lamps"
Do the LED throw enough light to make the parking lamps into mini headlamps? Is there glare?

Hey Tony,
Yes it is a US car (parking lights); they put off a good bit of light but not enough for road use as a headlight. I dont feel they have a glare being a cool white color. Ill see if I have time to get a few pics tonight for everyone.
I would lithe to find a good H3 led lamp for the fog lights, anyone know of one?

Here is a shot in the garage of the 18 SMD's, I run them during the day until dusk before using the Heads, yes they are that bright.
I'm going to try the 45's this summer but like I said they may be too bright.
I've found the single or narrow beam ones look like a bright spot in a square lens, these do not, they make use of the reflector.
