LED parkers???

Post by fto617 »

hey guys
i have blown parkers and looking for new replacements
someone suggested LED parkers to match my HIDs
so are the LEDparkers wedge base in the fto or like the normal bulbs??/
i went to supercheap auto and they showed me wedged ones which looks like the one i replced my climate control with and it cost 10bucks
the normal base one cost 20bucks
or am i asking for the wrong thing?
dont i jsut walk in and ask for LEDparkers?
or are they just normal LEDs which i gotta manage to mod to fit in the parkers myself?
thanks

Am I right to assume these are for the "driving light" style things at the bototm of the front bar?

Because mine are heaps dull yellowish, and the headlights have been replaced with high-beam super white's as per one of the DIY guides, so it looks stupid.

Point me to led replacements :)

I had the same problem, I wanted a bulb to match my hids, I went for leds to start with but I found that it did not spread the light very well, so I bought PIAA Super Plasma bulbs from ebay, looks much better now.

theres couple types for the LED, the oval shaped top only givin you 1 dot effect, but if u get the flat shaped at the top, it will give u the spread effect... :wink:

Once you got the screw out, you have to reach behind/under the bumper bar & push the lights out.

And if you got what i posted up, then its just a direct swap.

Take it any hardware place & try to get a matching one, if not, then you have to go to wreckers
