Has anyone upgraded to led lights on your car?
Looking for led lights for mine, I am curious to see what you have done with yours.

Just put a set of these in a set of these in Oldman's vert. From the driving I did I think they will work pretty good. Hopefully.

I did LED's on pretty much everything but the brakes and headlights for my DD and I have to say they look great,much of a crisper look, definitely superior to the plain old fashioned ones. At this point they are pretty easy to find and inexpensive on places like Ebay.

If your going to use LED's in other places. Especially turn signals you will need to put in a solid state flasher. ( EP34 ) I got one at NAPA, I think it was $12.

Here is a thread where somebody did the 4x6 led headlights.

That thread has installation info, and a review of how well they work.

Thanks for that bit of info, I was just lazy and have lived with a fast blinker for the last two years..........

I've replaced everything but the headlights. I tried replacing those, but you actually need to put out a few bucks to get a decent set of LED bulbs that's bright enough, and I'm cheap. Think it cost me about $35 per vehicle, including the flasher relay. Even figured out decent brake bulb replacements relatively affordable, though at $7 to $10 a pair, they're the single most expensive LEDs besides the headlights.

If anyone is thinking about upgrading from composite headlights there are adapters to go to LED's so there won't be any wire cutting. Even if you have buckets the is an easy way to make your own adapter.
