Saw these around for about $20 and was just wondering if anyone has any experience with them or even pics. They would go in the parking lights (insde the headlights), bumper lenses, and liscence plate lights.
Here's an example: http://www.hyperlights.com/prod03.htm
Reliable? Cool lookin? or barely noticeable? I've always have blue or purple regular bulbs and have never been harrassed by cops so that's not an issue. Tell me what's up.

I have something like that, they make the head lights look cystalized, very cool looking you might look into getting them, those are WAY over priced though... I got 2 set for $10 from a local shop soo... just look around if not have them ordered, can't be that much. I changed all my lights from cystal lights to super blues and its looks better but I still love those cystal parking lights... they look ALOT better.

I had the exact same brand, and they weren't very bright. I also got the white ones, and they were still bluish.

The only bad thing about those LED wedge style lamps are that they are directional, and not omni directional like incandescent bulbs, otherwise they would make a great alternative.

i have those LEDs blue bomber posted. you can pick up a set for like 7-10 bucks. shop around. i switched all the bulbs out (license plate, side marker, parking lights) but i think about 2 or three burnt out already. i dont understand why cuz i thought LEDs have a long life. might just be the brand? i wont be buying them again...

Probably incorrect voltage or bad resistors.
