Hey guys

I'm chasing after some LED lights for my parkers and for my rego lights. I'm pretty sure both are T10?

I'm after something as white as possible. My last set had a blue tinge which wasn't quite what I was after. Although something with a slight blue tinge would be ok for the parkers, as it'd match my HIDs.

Also after something reliable.... my last two sets of rego LEDs only lasted a couple of months :-/

A nice even spread for the rego lights would be awesome too.

Thanks in advance

I bought some of these http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84413 off Joe and they really impressed me. I have them in my parkers and reverse lights, they are allot whiter then they look in that thread. I have some pics compairing it to the standard magna parker to give you a better idea (sorry for the bad quality, blame the iphone :P )

the most common problem with led replacements is that the current isnt regulated well enough or at all and they overheat. Overpowering them makes more light but significantly reduces lifespan. Its better to fit more leds and run them at less power to make the same light as running more power with less leds. Those ones above look very good.... woudl they happen to fit a 2g?
