Uhh, buy those ones!

Get them through the auction or from LEDGauges.com which is a vendor of this website. If you want questions answered, you can wait a little and watch the thread, and LS1_SS should pop in here and let you know - he runs LEDGauges.

But you don't want to buy LEDs from the vendor specified? Don't expect much love ...

i wasnt aware he was a vendor or i wouldnt have questioned. i did see he had feedback from people on this site but beyond that...?

does anyone have pictures of the actual led's in their car?

also how exactly does the 'halo' in the halo headlights work? im checking out the blue one on the site. is there a toggle for the 'halo' itself or do they only come on when the headlight is on?

thanks!

i dont' know about $55 for all those lights, kinda steep if you ask me! Your HVAC are #74 style bulbs, and everything in the gauge cluster is #194 I believe. There are a ton of places you can buy them, i get all my LEDs from superbrightleds.com. Not trying to take any business away from a vendor, just saying there is a cheaper route.

Give me until dark comes around tonight and I'll get some new pics. I haven't touched my Gauge cluster yet, still deciding if I want to buy a Camaro one and do something unique with it. I order everything off there for regular price, they just have great service and quality products. I have bought stuff from Nate at LED_GAUGES, but it was a bit to pricey for me. I'm still in college and don't have a huge budget haha.

Here are a few pics from a while back, I've gotten a new HVAC overlay (but that is what Blue LEDs look like through a clear HVAC overlay lol), and yesterday I put some LEDs in the door lights and dome light. I'll snap some pics of those later.

UPDATED!!!

THIS ONE CAME OUT FREAKY

DOME LIGHTS-GOING TO REPLACE WITH A LIGHT BAR SOON



WITH JUST THE MAP LIGHTS ON


I AM ALL OUT OF RED #74 LEDS, only had BLACK LIGHT/UV LEDS left.


My old man built me this speaker box for x-mas one year, it's some what ghetto but those 6x9s thump better than the stock speakers they put in the back.

Unfortuneatly yes....not much, but still a PITA. There is not a lot of space to work with in that pop up. And one of these weekends I'm going to make a kill switch for the floor lights and my DRLs. I do love light tho! The Red is a little more subtle than the halogen yellow and a lot more Anyone notice my contribution to 3rd gens?
