DIY: License Plate LED Replacement & Trunk Light LED Replacement

[tda1337]

yea i got in a fight with him, and a week later RIGHT before i filed a complaint, my 1W license plate leds arrived.... bastard
anyways
if u want white, and dont wanna build a better one urself
WARDEN is the only one SO FAR that sells the set up jcool used
he has the 6 1W led set up for a 31mm festoon bulb for all 3 (dome and map lights)
his trunk light is similar but its an attachment style
his license plate I BELIVE and could be mistaken are the 1W flank leds (thats what mine are)

personally i wanted color in my interior, and went with the 9led set up (until they make a better one) for the map lights (went with blue, i suggest red for reading purposes tho)
and made a 3 watt (tho it has a small fault and will HAVE TO go with a 5W to fix the fault hehe so ill be pushing 60 lumens in BLUE thats friggen BRIGHT blue lol) for the dome
and another 3 Watt white for the trunk (which IS brighter than jcools despite his slightly overexposed pics lol also will be making the 5W 192 lumen led to fix that flicker problem as well lol)
1W flanks i have for the trunks, and am looking into the 48 SMD turn and back up lights from V-leds... only thing is thats REALLY pricey and id rather put the 100 bux towards my retrofit i plan on doing (hids baby)

unfortunatly i still am not happy with the 48smd one, and am awaiting a sideand front firing !/3 Watt mulitple led set up

FOR THOSE WHO DONT UNDERSTAND
the leds warden and vleds sell that say "1W" do run at 1 W but do NOT produce the output a luxeon or cree 1 Watt led emit, they are a group of much lower watt LEDS on a single disk
their output is NOT comparable to a 1 W cree or Luxeon, but are still much higher than an SMD or high flux led

FYI, warden ships from Hong Kong, which is why it takes forever...my family is live in HK and anything I get from always takes two weeks minimum. Warden got his over to me in about the same timeframe.

FYI, Kassabain is too and he gets his to people in 2- 3 days on the east cost of the USA lol

I'm sure if you paid more than $1 for shipping then it could be expressed over too. Either way the bulbs work well. The SMT LEDs are verrrryyyyy bright, the normal LED ones I got my my license plate arn't as bright, but still look nice. I think if I went and got the SMT ones for the plate, it would have washed out everything with the brightness.

i love my 1W flanks for that
and now that i know bout that little device that makes current ALWAYS the same direction... well hehe
