Default LED front running light

I posted this in the 600 mod section.. but i guess it belongs here too.

Here’s the difference between incandescent and led light.

More noticable. I did the same but went with yellow... just to be different.

Cheers

I was trying to get away from yellow.... that's what I didn't light about it in the first place. Nice bright headlights and the cheap flash light bulb in the middle.

Hey dcollins, in your opinion, would those L.E.D.s be bright enough for blinkers behind an amber lens ? I`ve got an idea for front blinkers but need a smaller bulb than the stock bulbs.

LEDs would be bright enough, but this bulb is larger than the stock one. It has 6 LEDs in a circle.

I did the 1157 LED bulb on my 600ZX... not very bright. Make sure you get the clear/white or you will not see it through the red/amber plastic. And I think the LED is the same size as the stock bulb

I guess I`ll just keep thinkin on it then....... I wanted something bright to fit in the "blade type" base, and aside from the LEDs the only thing I can find are those dinky 5W bulbs....
