vLED fogs, reverse lights and license plate lights

[Steve1081]

Received the following from vLEDs today and installed:

5k white 10 LED PS24W - fogs
5k white 15 LED 921 - reverse lamps
5k white 4 LED flank W5W - license plate bulbs

I had previously installed silver star incandescent bulbs in the reverse lights and Philips extreme vision 4k LEDs in the license plate. But wasn't really happy with the improvement. So when I ordered the LED fogs I got 5K vLEDs bulbs for these too.

Plate bulbs:


Stock left and Philips led right


Philips LEDs (not much better)


Philips LED right and vLED left


vLEDs (way brighter)


vLEDs lighting up the ground

Reverse lamps:


Stock right and silver star left


vLED left and silver star right


vLED reverse lights (still Philips 4k led plate bulbs)


vLEDs for both reverse and plate bulbs

Fogs:


Stock left and vLED right with 4300k TRS HIDs on


Both vLED fogs with headlights off. 5K is a good match to DRLs

Also installed 4K osram highbeam bulbs from TRS. They match the LED fogs and HIDs much better than stock. Kinda hard to capture high beams in a picture but here is a shot at it





Overall i am very happy with the results. The vLEDs bulbs are definitely much brighter than the Philips and a better value. High quality and super bright!

Thanks for posting this. Ordering mine now

Me too!

Lame question, but the bulbs are just an easy swap out, right? No transformer/module, etc.? Other install tips/considerations?

I would also like to know if you feel any of the interior bulbs need to become brighter. I am ordering the fog and rear bulbs and figure I can add those if needed. Thanks

Sweet... I'd like to change all those out myself. I hate the interior lights! I few my 07 with leds were way brighter.

The bulbs are self contained and nothing else is needed. I have no error codes or anything like that.

You can reach the fog bulbs without removing anything but it is a bit tricky. I recommend removing the plug from the bulb first and then removing the bulb from the housing. Same when installing... Put the bulb in the housing then attach the plug.

You need a torx bit to take the tail lights out, I forget what size... There is also a trim piece that is a little bit of a pain to put back on; but, it isn't too bad. The manual has directions on how to do it.

The license bulbs are super simple no tools needed.

I don't think you can swap out the interior or under mirror LEDs easily. I think they are "hard wired" in.

I agree that they aren't super bright but I like the look. I wish the ones under the side mirrors were brighter though...

I think the daytime running lights could be brighter too; but no swapping those easily either.
