Bit the bullet and bought a set of Euro OEM RCR lights from Turner. Also bought Weisslicht bulbs to complement. Wallet hurts. Hope its worth it!

Weisslicht bulbs are wonderful; I have three sets. $100 per pair is definitely intense.

I found Weisslicht bulbs way overpriced. They are great quality bulbs, they just charge way too much for them. You can get equivalent quality bulbs for much less at places like The Retrofit Source, or even eBay (if you know what specifically to look for).

Either way, buying them will yield you good quality bulbs.

Do avoid their fog light bulbs though if you have stock fog lights; they are WAY too bright in a non-projector fog housing. They are not designed to reflect the light properly in the housing.

This is good to know. I'd be curious to know which LED's you specifically went with for the RCR's (ie. vendor and how many of each for the rear lights) as I'd love to save some money.

At 100$ I agree they are extremely overpriced. I have a feeling I'll be returning most of them (I did buy the fog lights). I'm not even sure I got enough to fill out the rear lights and that would be hundreds more if I did all Weisslicht.

Mine are eBay ones. HOWEVER... I did notice that I get static with these when I have my radio on and the bulbs are illuminated. My rear Window glass needs to be replaced as my antenna is shot anyway, so I figured maybe it's just because of that, but I can't be sure unless I tried a different set of bulbs. I don't care much because I don't use the FM radio at all, but it bothers me knowing it does this. I'm hoping it's just because my glass needs to be replaced. Radio reception kind of sucks regardless.

Otherwise, they are excellent. Super bright in broad daylight, no hyperflash, and no bulb out errors.

Keep in mind, you will have to code out the cold and hot checks for your LED bulbs so they don't flicker at startup and at random times while the car is on.



This is what I have for brake lights:

For some reason, the seller doesn't list the 1156 version of its amber bulb anymore, which is what I have. I just linked someone to it last week, now it's gone. Hmm...
You can get these from other sellers, but the bulbs are ever so slightly different, so I haven't tested them and can't guarantee their functionality.
If you want to take the plunge, search for: 1156 CANBUS CREE Amber

Ah...I forgot about that. It affects 1 of the first 6 presets noticeably. The ST indication on the radio drops off when the brake is pressed. I think the signal is a bit weaker than the other stations.

Do you have the same bulbs I do or are your different?

I believe they're the same.
