I'd recommend spending more $ per bulb than what you have linked. The product you show appears to be cheap bulb construction. The cheap LED's usually don't last very long, and either the bulb starts the "strobe" effect, or they just fail completely (heat related failure due to a constant on application). I put bulbs in mine back in early 2009 and they still work with no issues.

As a convenience I picked up mine from a local Advanced Auto Part store for $19 OTD (coupon needed) and had it installed last night.
Alternative was I could have ordered from DiodeDynamics which appears a lot cheaper and they seem to have a good product as I've purchased from them before for my coupe.

I found these at Walmart for 9.88. While I do all I can to avoid Walmart, it was the only local place that carried them. Quick 5 minute install, looks awesome.

Does anyone have any pics of headlights/fog lights/parking lights, of a 2013 R-spec at night time? All I've seen are tail lights. Please post if you do, thanks.

Alright guys, another update...

Replaced the door light. One so far, I just wanted to see if it will match interior LED lights and guess what? ...it match perfectly!

I've started losing more money ever since you've come aboard.
But for a good cause.
Now that looks like another good looking upgrade.

Bunch of pictures here. I know, they look crappy, but I had no time to set up my full body camera on a tripod, so I've used my iphone again

Bosh Icons will go on next week, when I return from the trip to California.

(I might get something brighter for the trunk in the future)

 

[craigt]

I'd like to do this as well. Are the 2825's for the doors and 3175's for the trunk?

Yes Sir, that is correct. As I said those in the trunk are not too bright, but why would I need a halogen" inside the trunk?

 

[craigt]

Thanks.

If anyone is looking for a decent, plain black frame for the license plate, I got a couple [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00236XLA0"]of these[/ame]. Simple, maintenance free, and reduces plate rattle when closing the trunk.

Sorry, no pics, but it's just a frame.

I found these but they do not look like the same white you've got.
Would this do the trick as well?
And these for the doors right?

Yes, 168 is correct size for the doors. They look little bit taller than mine, though....but they'll fit in no problem.
It says "cool white" - I assume they are 6000k as well. Yea, go for 'em


edit:

I just checked specs on them...yes, they are 6000k!

Nice looking rides and good bulb selection.

If you haven't seen it already here is the Genesis Lighting Thread. Full bulb list, lots of good info and pics in there.

I thought the reverse lights were super weak on my 10' so I installed the CREE 5W reverse lights from diodedynamics. They are the stage 2 upgrade for $59.99. Bulbs are long and barely fit but the extra light is definitely worth it. Super bright. I've purchased hundreds of dollars in bulbs from diodedynamics over the years. Highly recommend them.

I know that thread, its been in my bookmarks and I've read every post there, before I decided what I want

 

[craigt]

Dareck, how do you replace the under door lights? I haven't bought the bulbs yet, but looked yesterday under the doors - no screws. Which I suppose is a good thing so nothing will rust.

Do I gently use a flat head on one side and wedge it out?

Thanks...

 

[dareckibmw]

Yep, just like that.
