CleanGSR Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Can someone tell me what the number for the bulb in the aux lights is? As many of you know, you can't upgrade the bulb to a higher wattage because you'll burn up the housing. However, since LED's burn much cooler and a lot brighter, I thought about searching for LED replacement bulbs for the aux lights. I found some 1196 bulbs for $10/pair that have 27 led's in each bulb. This could solve the problem of getting bright lights without switching housings. Someone let me know if they know the bulb number. Here's the link btw.... 1196 LED's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 That's them. They are 1196. So are your reverse lights. Buy these instead. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Why? I could buy those l.e.d. bulbs and they would be just as bright and only take 2 minutes to install. That and they would look oem outside (which I kind of like). Seems like those l.e.d.'s would do as good a job as the angel eyes for a lot less money/time. So you're positive the 1196's are what the stock aux lights use? If so, I'm going to order them and try them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yeah, I have them butthead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 That's a little harsh. Not saying I don't like the angel eyes, just saying that for $10 I could possibly make my aux lights worth a damn. I don't have a ton of extra money to drop into the car with everything else I have going on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Haha, you know I'm kidding man. LED's would be sweet. I'm just messin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Well, it's hard to tell sometimes. You should use smiley's more when your joking. We should have a sarcasm smiley. Anyway, I though that sounded like a good idea for a cheap fix to the crappy aux lights. Do you not agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 It does. I used to hatre my aux. lights. They looked so homo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 That's the way I am. I've got amber bulbs in them, but they are still really dim and useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yeah. I never turned them on. I too, had amber bulbs. Let me know how you like the LED's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackdelsol Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I don't think I'll do anything to my lights. I don't have to worry about aux. . don't they make projectors that fit in the aux. housing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Wait, so you put brighter LEDs into your del sol headlamps? I'm lookin' to do that myself. How did it turn out, and how expensive was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 No, I was going to put brighter led bulbs in my aux lights but I sold the del sol so never got around to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Out of curiosity, how much would putting brighter LED bulbs in both your main headlights and your auxiliaries run? Cuz I need to replace my auxiliaries anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Did you just read my post about putting LED's in your headlights? There's a reason nobody makes a kit like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfinitePrelude Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I didn't read the hole thread just skimmed, don't get cheap led's it doesn't handle bumps to well it pushes them out of there socket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Thanks for the headsup. New LED lighting is low on my priorities list, though, so I dunno when I'd do it anyway. You guys would be the first to know if I did, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
