    LED Lights and More!

    I got a package from Khoalty today!

    LED interior kit, paint matched reflectors, clear side markers, license plate LEDs and 7500k 9006 halogen fogs.

    Here is what the PO had in the car




    To this! ...





    Swapped out the reflectors for TiAg fillers..



    To this ..




    Stay tuned for the 7500k fog light bulbs tomorrow. I'm not too sure how they will look. Heres what I'm running now



    I will also post before and afters of the side markers tomorrow as well. They were a bit of a PITA.

    Looks really good.

    Did you get a resistor with your interior led kit? I'm looking to buy this kit for myself.

    Your LED's look a lot more white than mine do, and I have the Khoalty LED's as well. My set for reference:

    There are interior bulb kits that come with resistors, so they must serve a purpose. I believe it may be to prevent flickering?

    No resistors. When I put in the license plate bulbs they stayed on for a few seconds even though the lights were off. Then they turned off and it's all good now. I believe the newer kits from khoalty are more white and the older ones are more blue. I'll post more pics tonight.

    I believe it's to, "trick" the car into thinking that there is an incandescent bulb there.

    LEDs don't draw a lot of power, so sometimes the car will misinterpret it to mean that there is no bulb there which will result in the LED not lighting up (or a bulb out warning with exterior lights).

    At least that's my limited understanding. One of the electrical gurus on here I'm sure could explain it much more intelligently.

    Khoalty's interior LEDs seem to work fine without a resistor in E46 interior lights.

    I have to say though that the depo side markers gave me a bit of a headache. The spring tab that holds the marker in place popped off while inserting the light and fell inside my fender. I was able to grab it with a magnetic screwdriver through the door jam. But then it popped off again and was lost. This happened on BOTH sides on the first try. I had to remove the tab from the stock markers and glue them into the depo markers because they were a bit different and they don't snap in. After that they installed easily, but I was a bit frustrated after that. The tabs on the depo lights are on a more obtuse angle and require more space to bend. Bottom line. I hate those tabs.
