So im looking for the brightest 194 LED i can get. I have some wedge ones in there but they are small and were made for the angel eyes on my gen1 projectors.

Anyone have any ideas? I dont want to solder an led ring in either. Just the BRIGHTEST white light.

You personally can vouche for them?

 

i can. bought 194 leds for my plate and they are great

they are my led vendor of choice

 

haha no need for mkurley

 

actually gonna experiment with the new SMT style led lighting...otherwise, back to filament.

 

Well, the reverse light isn't a 194, so I don't know what the deal is with that, but whatever. If you want good LED bulbs, I recommend http://www.v-leds.com as all my LED bulbs are from them. I actually buy through their eBay store. I've bought bulbs from them numerous times, always turn out good. Here's a few shots of my car using the SMT bulbs they have:

Front turn signals:


Reverse lights and license plate light at night (the outer tails are actual LED tails, not bulbs):

 

^^^nice what bulb is for the turn signal?

 

They're 3157s I believe.

 

thanks man

 

see your car falls apart when you put those lambos on :P lol thought you might enjoy that... but no anyway... what ^^^ has is what your looking for...

 

 

lol this car has been falling apart since ive bought it... lol

The reverse lights are indeed the 194s. I put them in there... they just arent bright enough. I used the inverted wedge style however, so im going with straight SMT to see if it makes a difference.

 

Well we found your problem then. The reverse lights are not meant to use 194 bulbs. Yes they'll fit, because the base of the bulbs is the same, but 194s are way too dim to be used as reverse lights. The proper bulb is a 921, which is much bigger. See below.



That's a 194 on the left, a 921 in the middle, and a 921 SMT LED bulb on the right.

 

ty! exactly what i needed
