Trouble with LED Fog Lamps

[vt_maverick]

Can you also post the part #'s for the brake light bulbs you used? I'm trying to figure out what I need for those, the front and rear turn signals, and the reverse lights to finish out my LED conversion.

Am I reading this right? $79.99 for turn signal LEDs?!?

Yes $80 for the pair. So $40 each. They are twice as bright as other similar lower priced LEDs and include built in protection from voltage irregularities and include large heat sinks. These are top quality items and priced as such. Join their newsletter and get 15% off 1 order. Then they send you updates every once and a while with another 15% off coupon.

So with these V-LED signal LEDs do I need any of the other flasher-specific hardware that Autolumination recommends? There was a LOT of info on their site about needing additional accessories to keep the LEDs from flashing too quickly, burning out prematurely, etc. If so I could begin to see why these are so much more expensive than simple LED bulbs.

Vt maverick doesn't know what he's talking about, that's why he asked this above:

No, all you need is the bulbs from V-LEDs, all the way down to their smallest LEDs their quality and built in protection makes it unnecessary for anything else. If you put them in the turn signals you will still need the load resistors or modify the stock flasher or buy a new digital flashed, which v-LEDs offers how to on all of these mods, it is easy.

Cool, thanks LittleBeast.

i think its time to try V-LEDs for me. I ordered spiderlights from superbrightleds.com, its been about a month and both have already started flickering/strobing and only 3/5 arms are actually lighting up anymore

sent one back last week for warranty replacement, no word from them.. guess its time to send the next one back too

I like the look of the V-LED version anyway with the 8 arms instead of 5

Eric where are you putting the spider lights? I was thinking about upgrading the LEDs in my fog lamps to those, but I'm not sure you could stuff them in there without completely disassembling the housing. Heat would also be a question.

I am using the spider lights as my tail/brake lights. They look fantastic when working properly. I agree, they would not work well on the front fog lights at all. I think they could be pretty cool as reverse lights too because they are too large for the housing it would have a cool 3d effect.. but thats about it.

These are by far the brightest LEDs I have ever seen. Just look at the license plate lights they light up the ground behind the VX brighter than the filament back up lights!!!!! Haha, they are ridiculously bright.
