    I spotted these on ebay a couple of weeks back. Had to give them a try...

    68 SMD (LED's) on a parker...Cool!


    Side by side with the 25 SMD Parker




    Bright little sucker!




    The is the 25 SMD Parker. Slight Blue shade




    This is the 68 SMD Parker. Much closer to white. I like it better.




    Side by side. Headlight on the left is the old one. More blue.



    There's not alot in I know. But the blue tinge bugged me.

    The 25 SMD Parkers are for sale by the way. $5 plus postage!

    I've just ordered the 25 SMD, should arrive this week. I prefer the slight blue look, but the white is nice too! Thanks for the pics

    Not yet. But I just ordered these for the fogs. The first set I bought have started failing. Half of them don't work now. Looks dodge.

    144mph? That's quick Keen to see pics of those installed. I can imagine they won't be that bright (in terms of lighting up the road)

    Na, just for show again really. The single bright LED shouldn't be hard to miss though.

    Me too.

    Installed the 68led h11 fog light rplacements. Interesting to see if the cops pull me over now. I will claim they are DRL, as they are no where near as bright.

    I'd like to see the 68SMD's for the fogs in action. Thought about those as well. Post some pics.

    Hey Yeldarb,
    I like the bulb upgrades...can you tell us the brand/model of bulbs you used for both the fogs & parkers? I had an auto leccy tell me i needed HID for the fog lights and these including a bulb upgrade on the parkers to get a consistant colour with the Bi Xenon headlights on my standard luxury set-up was going to cost $305!!! If all i need to do is replace the bulbs surely this will be cheaper?

    Cheers
    Bob

    How old is this thread?

    I've been through a few sets of this stuff.

    The 68 LED fogs I got from Troy (2XS) here on the forum. So far they have been the most reliable set.

    The Parkers are just EBay things.

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/68-SMD-LE...item2a0bbe3344

    I personally am not interested in putting HIDS in the fogs. Too bright, pisses people off and attracts the cops.

    Just so you know, these don't throw a lot of light. Nothing like a halogen.

    But they look good without being annoying.

Orange could look kinda cool, as long as its not too orange to attract too much attention!

    Phillips is good, they are expensive but the quality is superior to china bulbs. You might want to consider 6000K HID's too!
    lol you absolutely right mate,i just got pull over just cause i use red as parker light,Dam i should read all thread before i start change all things by myself.
