Sorry for the poor quality. There was some talk earlier about LED's. I really like the look of the instantaneous on/off with these bulbs. I will try to get a night video aswell so you guys can see how bright these babies are!

Cool conversion. I like the instantaneous nature, but they seem WAY too directional. Any way of giving a better spread to those?

Not a fan, I LOVE LED conversions but ones that are done properly with custom boards built for the housing not ebay LED setups for standard bulb housings.

HIGHBOOST

They are directional, but they look so sweet at night. I suppose an LED bulb that has led's on the back of the bulb as well as the front would help to light up the entire consul. Line the backing with foil of some sort?

Why do you assume this is some ebay crap?

Anyways I just wanted some LED's w/out paying an arm and a leg. Autozone sells the bulbs as a pair for $16.99 in case anybody was interested.

I just dont like the way the plug in LED "bulbs" look. Very ebay IMO. Just personal preferance, the only way I'd do LED's is if it was custom built for the housing like e46 M3's.

Piece of sheet metal and a drill would take care of that. Then wire 'em up.

Damn you. You just made another project for me.

The near instant on/off of LEDs looks great. As with others here I'm not a big fan of the light being directed in just one direction. Even the board with an array look funny to me. The only vehicle I've seen with the LEDs done correctly are the Cadilac DeVille's (I forget what years). It's entire lit surface is uniform, looks awsome.

Highboost:
Your car looks fine the way it is. But....if you wanted to spread the light out a little, I've had some luck with scuffing the outside of the LEDs with some 400 grit sand paper. The scuffed surface acts like a lamp shade and spreads the light out a little. I did this to the gauge cluster in my truck and it did a better job of throwing light to the sides.



...We're harsh on this board.

why do the turn signals blink so fast?

Porsche-O-Phile

I'm guessing the lower resistance of the LEDs. Add a few resistors there sport.

I agree that the light needs to be more spread. Good idea though! If the light was spread it would make a turbo center light look really cool at night.

I too like the Caddy's LED tallights as well as their trunk mounted 3rd brake light. Very bright and impossible to ignore at night.

J/K.....I will save judgment till I can see it in person at the next run.

HIGHBOOST

Ha I do admit, the blinkers are total "hiper ricer" status.
