cool thanks. If you can take a pic also of what the bulb looks like that would be sweet.
went on the v led website and have no idea what I'm looking for lol.

I can't take pics because my camera is gone until Dec 8. The reason why I'm changing is two of the three LED panels on one of the lights went out, and the last one is blinking . They both need to be replaced. Light output during the day is great by the way, white and bright.

On the turn signal bulb there's a small transparent cover, I used the VHT nightshade spray there so when I turn on the lights you can see it perfectly, but it looks black when the lights are off. The bulb is the stock bulb that came with the car.

Looks great but your high beams are 100% less effective now that the reflector housings have been painted

the reflector housing is for DRLs not the high beams. there is a motorized cutoff flap that moves out of the way of the beam in the projector for the highs.


OP your car is sick... nice job on the lights.

Thanks man and you are correct. The reflector housin is only for the DRLs. The light output of the HIDs and the high beams is not affected at all.
