    Anyone know where I can get colored upper light bulbs for the dragon horn part of the highlight assembly?

    your local auto parts store probably has a few diff colors too, the 3 major stores near me (autozone, advance auto parts and strauss discount auto) all carry red blue and green 194 bulbs almost 100% of the time

    The least expensive way to get colored bulbs for the horn lights is to go to Home Depot or Lowe's and buy colored bulbs for Malibu outdoor lighting. They fit right in, and you can safely double the wattage (to 8W) without fear of melting the housing.

    LED Replacement

    The autolumination.com site is THE BEST! I emailed them and negociated a disocunt on my next order (that I placed tonight). I've changed the horn lights out and the inside dome light so far. I'm so satisfied with those that I have decided to replace all lights on the VX to LEDs. All together (once my new order is received), all lights will be replaced with the following:

    *Dome Light
    6 LED Super High Flux
    39mm, Blue
    9.99/each


    *Horn Lights
    *Front Side Marker Lights
    *Rear Side Marker Lights
    T10 Wedge
    Item # SMT Tower Color: Blue
    Lens: 194
    $9.99/each


    *Small Round Front Parking Lights
    194 6 LED Clear Focused Lenses, projects light forward like a flashlight
    UV (purple)
    $4.99/each


    *Interior Map Lights
    Super White, 9 LED
    39mm
    $6.99/each


    *Front Turn Signal Lights
    *Rear Turn Signal Lights
    20 Powerful Wide Angle High Flux LEDs
    Amber
    $17.99/each


    *Back Up Lights
    The Beacon, advertised as perfect for back up lights

    ty.. dont forget that when you change your turn signal bulbs you will need to get a load equalizer or a new flasher, they work on building up a charge and when there is enough charge to light up the bulbs, it discharges and lights the signals.. LEDs draw significantly less power, so it will discharge almost instantly... ie your turn signal will flash crazy fast like if you had a bulb burnt out.. pull one of your turn signal bulbs out and then turn on your signal to see what i mean

    etlsport,

    wow, I didn't know that. I don't know what a load equalizer is. Would this be something autolumination.com would have and is it easy to install? This is all new to me. Thank you very much for the advice. If this is really difficult I'll just cancel those bulbs on my order.

    Thanks alot,

    Ty

    I changed my order and omitted the load equalizers to get the Flasher EP34 instead.

    Any instructions on flasher replacement available?
