    bulb replacements

    I spent about an hour today bulb swapping today.
    In the back for now I did some small Spyderlite bulbs
    for the Red parking and brakelites.

    For the front, in the lower orange blinkers I installed
    some 1156 Orange LED bulbs
    and in the Clear Round lower running lights, I installed
    some Orange 194 LED bulbs there too.
    All the front matches orange now which I like.

    And I installed a set of HID headlights too in the headlights.
    Much more lite now too.

    Never thought about orange in the round fogs. Nice work, how about a pic of the rear.

    I did the orange in the round bumper lites just because
    the clear sort of looked yellow-ish and dingy.
    They use std 194 style bulbs too.

    Heres a pic of the Spyderbulbs
    We stock them out my shop usually. I just grabbed the
    last 2 we had in stock for now but will be getting more in
    down the rd.
    We sell them for like $40-45 each, yeah



    think Im going to put orange LED bulbs in the rear
    blinker socket next just to see how it looks.

    Are you having to put anything on the circuit for the signals so the unit doesn't compensate for the change in load? Or did you replace the sending unit, or do these bulbs already have some resistence built in?

    Looks good. What kind/where did you get/how much did they cost HID lights do you have in there. I think its time for me to upgrade.
