Default led lights

Anyone install LED lights bulbs as replacements for the regular bulbs. If so what were the part numbers? I can't figure it out. Can you post pics of the lights too.

Thanks

Brake and tail lights from Ledtronics.com

Street, parking lights, high mounted brake light, door lights, from superbrightleds.com

DRL bulbs homebrew using components from superbrightleds.

One of the pictures referenced below has view of sidelight.

don't you have to run diodes with those led bulbs however as they have such low resistance that they will trip the check light, light?

Check light?


Not low resistance, but low current draw.


My Lexus has those light failure icons and I changed out the current sensing resistor in it's ecu to correct the problem. Except for the high mounted brake light failures my 01 C4 doesn't seem to detect bulb failure.

the ledtronics part # is AUT1157-OER-014V for the "dual filament" bulb. I also wired both rear "fog lamp" fixtures so that they come on with the brakes giving a more pronounced braking indication.

Superbrightleds P/N is T13-W6 for white wedge leds.

For the high mounted brake lights I had to drill out the bulb openings slightly and put a miniture, dip type, 12 volt relay accross the circuit with the NC contacts energizing a 12volt 20 halogen bulb. The low resistance of the halogen satisfies the cruise control enabling circuit but is removed from the circuit when the brakes are applied.
