LED fog lights/reverse/trunk light

[shah23]

Being off of work today, I put my time to good use. I got the LEDs in. Took 15 mins to put in and I love it!

Love the matching white fogs and the cargo liner! Where'd you get the fogs from if you dont mind? I went with yellow because i hate it not being a pretty exact match with the tint of white. But those look spot on

 

[shah23]

Thank you! I think it's pretty close to the color of the headlight. The fog lights I bought were from Amazon. I don't mind sharing the link but the forum won't let me post it because I'm a new member.

awesome found them thanks!

Have you thought about the LED license plate lights?

 

[shah23]

I actually ordered them as well as the interior bulbs but these came in the mail first. I did however take out the housing for the license plate light just to see it and I couldn't figure out how to get the bulb out.

 

[The Fuzz]

you just kinda wedge the bulb out

 

[The Fuzz]

They do look good at night tho!

 

[Donabed Kopoian]

Twist the clear slot piece counter-clockwise and remove it from the license plate lens, then pull the old bulb out.

You don't have to remove the assembly from the decklid to do that either. You can do that with the assembly still installed in the car by removing the 4 pins for the decklid liner instead.

Man seeing yours is making me jealous haha. Hopefully in a few days once I get mine it'll look just as cool as yours! and I just saw my post on a laptop and didn't realize my pics came out sideways, oops.

Huh that simple lol. I'll have to give this a try once my bulbs come in the mail. Thanks for the quick reply. I'll keep you guys updated once I get them in.

I like my yellow led fogs

 

[Bill Kavanagh]

what bulbs did you use for reverse lights

I do like your fog lights. They look really nice! I might try out yellow fogs down the road. I've always had HID/LED fogs for every car I've owned.

Being a new member I still am unable to post links. However, if you copy and paste this into the Amazon search bar, you can find the part I ordered. "B00J7HBSSA" <== that into the search bar

 

[shah23]

Well I got the time today to get the rest of the LEDs in. I'm quite content with the change.

 

[The Fuzz]

Looks good Shah23!

Jdm astar has the best led I think. I bought al my led from them and they are really good quality. I have the PX smd for my stop lights and they are wayyyy brighter then stock. I'm going to put led turn signals in next

 

[JoshTRD]

are those LED foglights the JDM ASTAR ones plug and play? i have lease car so its just a question if i can interchange them easily with the stock ones....thanks guys!

 

[The Fuzz]

Yes they are josh i ordered mine after talking to shah about them!

Just replaced my yellow fog light bulbs with JDM ASTAR and pretty happy with color tint vs the oem headlights will see later tonight if there is a noticeable difference with visibility at night

nice! yea i got mine today in the mail and installed them! i also have yellow vinyl tint on my fogs so well see how it ends up looking!

 

[The Fuzz]

Did you do it yourself josh? I tried and failed

 

[JoshTRD]

Did you do it yourself josh? I tried and failed

yep I'm very ocd and watched a lot of videos on youtube on how to handle vinyl correctly....since than i would consider myself mediocre, i very nicely tinted my taillights with black vinyl and also tinted my foglights, just need a hair dryer some soapy water a squeegee and patience haha

 

[The Fuzz]

Lol yeah j just failed pretty bad and just didnt decide to order more and give it another shot, i wanna do my tail lights a really light tint. You have any pictures of yours?

Loving the white fogs on the white car. Looks sick man!

Post pics of the results. Would like to see how they turned out. And pics of the tinted tail lights as I may possibly do that down the road myself

 

[sgenio]

Just ordered a set of these for my corolla! Thanks for the writeup and the pics!

What do u guys think of LED turn signals with the switch back from JDM ASTAR?

Any hyperflash issues?? Did you use resistors or change out the flasher module?

 

[trdriky91]

I'm not sure where exactly is the flasher relay or module. When I took apart the dash behind the cluster it look it could be behind it but I didn't to much attention to it at that time but yes I did use a resistor on them. No issues so far.

 

[JoshTRD]

i prefer the front signals to be amber....looks better to me

 

[perrijman89]

Where did you buy the LED bulbs for the turn signals? Can you provide a link please!!

this is so it won't hyper flash

 

[trdriky91]

This is how to hook up the resistors.

Looks sick dude. I bought the turn signals from them for the rebrand I love them. Where did you mount the resistor in the front ? Any pics . And is the white much different then the his of the car ?

I bought the PX smd for the rear and they are soooo bright

For the rear turn signals?

Looks dope. How hard was it to install ?

 

[Denis Gonzalez]

For the rear turn signals?

Yeah man. I couldn't be happier. I want to buy the front one but I'm looking for a plug and play resistor for a dual filament. I have a few in mind but still searching. I'm all LED in the rear I have both brake lights LED PX amd from jdm Astar and PX Amber smd for turn signals. And 50 w cree xb smd for my reverse light. Which btw they are the brightest things ever. I can't look at them straight on for more then 5 seconds without going blind. The back looks really neat and the colors are very crisp

Damm that's what I want so that I can have it matching with all leds. Can't wait to install them in the back.

Where did you mount your load resistors in the front and was it hard ?

 

[trdriky91]

The Installation wasn't to bad until I got to the part of actually mounting the resistors in a spot away from any plastic parts. I'll try posting pics of it later on.

 

[trdriky91]

Well a day n half later the front jdm Astar turn signals stop working

Do you know why ? Was the load resistor connected right ?

 

[trdriky91]

I rechecked my connectios with my volt meter to see if the load resistors are connected right. I checked out their website and It says it requires 50w 6ohms resistors and thats what I have now.
