Switching parking lights to white LEDs?

[Myerswelder]

I'm thinking about switching my parking lights over to white LEDs. I currently have the smoked recon mirror lights with amber, smoked can light covers with the second generation amber led bulbs. Does anyone have any pictures of white parking lights before I switch it over? This is this truck they're going on.

I'd look at the recon dual white and amber bulbs I hav them in both my 08 ford there nice. White to match all my other lights and then when u need to use turn signal there Amber so people can still see that ur turning since some people are blind.

You don't happen to have any pictures with the parking lights on do you? I'm more curious into what it looks like being all white compared to amber.

I just went with them on mine as well. The parking lights are switchback bulbs, so when you hit the blinker it flashes amber.

Looks real good!
Are those clear or smoked lenses?
I have smoked with white leds waiting to go on.
Hope it looks good cause I don't want clear ; don't like the way they look during the day.

That's looks really good! That looks a lot cleaner than the orange. Where's everyone getting their switchbacks from?

Those are the smoked lenses with the Recon LEDs. I was pleased with the light output. I'll get a daytime pic tomorrow

Edit: my switchbacks came from Amazon. They were around $20 for the pair. They flicker every once in awhile, so I'll probably switch them out for another set and see how they go

Wow that's awesome, they are super brite for smoked lenses.

Have all white running lights in my 05. I'll get you some pics at dusk tomorrow if you'd like. Only amber left is the corner maker in the headlight. That'll be gone with new headlights soon. Park lights are switchbacks.

Thanks! They definitely set it apart

Couple daytime pics. The LEDs are bright enough that they illuminate the hood a bit

Right in front of the Yum center, I'm gonna guess you're a Louisville fan? When you signal your blinker do the mirror lights stay white or light up amber?

Actually I work in downtown Louisville, and my parking lot is about two blocks away from the Yum center. I try to leave work early on game days LOL

The mirror lights are Recon as well. They have two separate white LEDs. One for the parking, the other for the signal. I guess it would be possible to run the smoked mirror lenses (without built in LEDs) with a white in for parking and amber for the signal. I like the white though. I only went with switchbacks up front because blinkers have to be amber by law

My cab lights are actually called cool white. I've seen that the place I bought these from has came out with a new color called natural white, which has less of a blue tinge to it.

I don't have switchbacks but that's a pic of my cab lights. Switchbacks are on the list to get. I just need to figure out how to avoid the fast flash.

Almost all the auto parts stores carry the Sylvania LED load equalizers (fancy name for resistors). Like $10 for a two pack. Just hook one wire to ground and tap the other into the turn signal wire

Thanks. Didn't even know that was a thing.

 

[GregW]

No problem. Kills me when people do the led bulbs or tail lights and don't spend the extra $10 to fix the fast flash lol. It would drive me nuts

It would drive me nuts too. That's why I haven't done it.

I just replaced my flasher for one made for led. Works perfect and way easier. Picked it up at auto zone for like $15
