LED 194 Parking Light Bulbs Installed [pics]

[Chris07LB]

If you are looking for something other then the same old BLUE painted 194 wedge bulb that keeps the reflective housing tinted blue, even when off.... it's time for some HiLED Parking Lights! :smile:

Benifits over the standard halogen bulb is, they will last much longer, be much brighter, and when using an HID kit, will be bright enough to actually match! (mine do :cool: )

If interested, please PM me direct for PRICING!

Simple install, HUGE overall difference!

Installed in a door housing, just to show the brightness of these HiLEDs.
NOTE, these are made for STRAIGHT halogen replacement installs, not for side illumination like this lens used as an example.

The LED bulbs itself produce a brighter light, but the light is concentrated into a small beam and they reflect less, so overall they light less... very confusing.

Try to take pics of the lights at night (without flash as well) but remember to use a tripod for the camera to prevent fuzzy pics! hehehehe :wink:

1. The light projects 120 degrees, and when compared next to the stock bulb produce MUCH more light.

2. At night, with just the parking lights ON, the entire headlight housing is illuminated. If parked 10ft away from a wall, you can actually see the light cast on the wall. Not enough light to drive by, but plenty bright compared to the stock halogens.

3. I dont use a flash at night, and I always use a Tripod. :tongue:

This post was to show an ALTERNATIVE to using COLORED bulbs that cast less light, and IMO look like shit when turned off (reflects blue color inside the housing). Besides, its a PARKING LIGHT for god sake, its not rocket science.

Thanks for your concern though. :biggrin:

[Violin]

Where did you get those?

[dbaxter]

Look sweet.
Are they DOT legal? Dont want some over eager cop pulling me over.

[Chris07LB]

Where did you get those?

These were designed, and then manufactured by a good friend of mine out in California. :smile:

They have been working on all different sizes, to replace standard halogen bulbs.

[OxyG3nE]

how much is it?

[GabL]

Actually what is the park light for? Just wondering...

Also, can they be used as the license plate light and interior light as well?

1. No idea, but I needed to make it look cooler, and match my HIDs. :biggrin:

2. Yes, as well as the other fittment sizes they have. Just recieved my interior LED lighting from them to test. :cool:

[rstb88]

is there a website for these????

[JustAnotherAsian]

those pics don't do justice. they actually look blue in the pics, which they are not. for example (i also did the led-194 route for the rear plate lighting):

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b167/JustAnotherAsian/cars/IMG_0956.jpg
^trust me, that's not the true color, it's pure white in person. i guess the camera can't really catch that... i'm doin replacement for every 194 bulb i see in the future.

nice modding chris. lookin forward to your other diy/mods.

[Jem_hadar]

Blue lighting is THE SHIT! :cool:

So sick.

[Chris07LB]

is there a website for these????

Sorry, this product has just been developed about 4 months ago.. there is no web site as of yet.

More size fittments to come! :smile:

[OxyG3nE]

chris ill order it next week.. need more $$ :P

[SEaton]

if you can set the white balance on the license plate you will get the true color of the light in the shot. its probably not the camera its the photographer ;-)

it's both in my case. lo-buck camera, and lazy to adjust white balance on the plate.

my homemade LED 194 bulbs.... I could not find any in the local parts stores so I used the base of a regular 194 and potted a blue LED with resistor on the 194 base :)

[YamilR]

Is this for cars with DRL?

[YarisPR]

I sincerly don't even know if my sedan has a place for those lights and i don't have DRL :confused:
so if you could explain me i detail i'll thank u and if I can use they probably buy ones too:biggrin:

[Black Yaris]

DRL disabled

[Chris07LB]

Its a parking light. Has nothing to do with DRL's.

DRL's use your H4 headlight (high/low) beam bulb, and send a lower wattage to keep it on during the day, when headlights are off.

There is no specific seperate DRL light or bulb.

Well, I've never noticed that light bulb till now. Does it come on by itself when you turn the handle only one click? I like it

Correct for the 194, they are your parking lights.

DRLs on the other hand, come on when the cars running with headlights off..

You can follow my How_To about Disabling DRL's in the DIY section.

No DRL's for me.....COOL :thumbup:

Since I dont have HID's...Yet, Am I going to look retarded with this parking lights?

[manborn]

it's legal for jersey right?

I do not have HID's yet.... just blue/white headlight bulbs and my LED look good

[Chris07LB]

Its a parking light.

As long as its not red, green, pink :rolleyes: , or other colors other then amber/orange or white/blueish its allowed.

It is not a blinking light, it is a parking light.

[YarisPR]

I have looked all day and it seems that my Sedan doesn't have parking lights:mad: am I the only one with no parking lights? Sedan owners please post:confused:

[Teruyume]

wonder where i can get these LED in Toronto for cheap.... there's a place in Pacific Mall selling $30 for a pair.... that's a huge rip off for me ..... >_<

Hey Violin, did you use the parking lights as DRL or that's when you flip the switch knob once? Thanks.

[Violin]

Just flipped on to the parking light position. I wonder if you guys could get away with them as DRL's - they are pretty bright. If you wired them up so they came on with the ignition switch, you could remove the DRL module.

[Chris07LB]

Glad you like 'em V. :thumbsup:

[Violin]

They also look better than the PIAAs. The Piaas have two side-by-side LEDs:

These don't look like two points but are more diffuse.

The original post shows exactly where and what it is.

[Blenjar]

The original post shows exactly where and what it is.

1- Is that the DLR too?
2- Can you have baby blue color? (at momenti t looks white but its blue) but want it to be as bright as the stock one..catch my drift?

-- Blen

[Chris07LB]

DRL is part of your H4 high/low, has nothing to do with this parking light, nor is it a seperate light all its own.

Original post shows the product packaging, and the avaliable colors listed.

[IsLNdbOi]

I just got two 194s from HiLEDs for my parking lights. Do we really have to remove the front bumper to install these?

[brickhardmeat]

huh???

NO

[IsLNdbOi]

How do you install them then?


I have the Yaris Service Manual that someone posted up some time ago and the instructions in it for getting to the parking lights say to remove the front bumper.

[brickhardmeat]

Open your hood, twist and pull, then pull the old wedge out and pop the new one in, you may have to turn the new one if it does not light up (polarity), if you go out to your car and pop the hood and take a look I think it will become rather obvious, this is a 2 minute install

changing the actual h-4 bulbs is a pain for me and some prefer to remove the whole assembly for that but for these it is totally easy

[brickhardmeat]

by the way the repair manual shows pictures and explains how to change every bulb in/on the car


http://www.etimago.com/yaris/repairmanual/

[IsLNdbOi]

That's the same manual I have. It says you have to take the front bumper off to get to the parking lights.

page LI-97 says:

REMOVAL
HINT:
• Use the same procedure for both the RH and LH sides.
• The procedure described below is for the LH side.
1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
2. REMOVE FRONT BUMPER COVER (See page ET-24)
3. REMOVE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY
(a) Remove the 3 screws.
(b) Disconnect the 3 connectors, then remove the headlight.

[brickhardmeat]

No you don't, not at all, you also don't have to disconnect the freaking battery. Do me a favor and go out to your car and change your damn bulbs. These are about as easy as it gets. Sometimes the manual gets a little carried away. I guess if you were a Toyota Tech and you did all that you could charge someone an hour for a 2 minute bulb change. :bellyroll:

[brickhardmeat]

I have changed every bulb in my car. You don't have to remove the bumper for any of the bulbs.:biggrin:

[IsLNdbOi]

Can you please explain how I remove the stock parking lights so I can install these HiLED LEDs?

Thank you.

[brickhardmeat]

I can't explain it any better. Go out to your car and locate the bulb. You see where it is. Take a hold of the back of what is holding the bulb in the headlight. Turn counter clockwise to release. and pull back. Pull the old bulb out and push the new one in. Don't push down on the face of your new LED. Turn your headlight switch one click to make sure the new LED comes on. If it does not you need to pull it out turn it and replace. This is what I am talking about when I say (polarity). Now go do it.

You don't need shop class for this. This is no more complicated than a child proof cap.:tongue:

[IsLNdbOi]

Thanks. I assumed that they were somehow sealed in the headlight assembly. Got them changed out and they look great.

The one on the passenger side was kind of hard to remove though.

[brickhardmeat]

Glad to hear it. I knew if I could get you to go pop your hood you would have no problems. :thumbup:

[IsLNdbOi]

They look kind of weird with the stock headlights. I can't afford a HID kit now so I'll probably order some OSRAM SilverStars.

[Razr]

I have changed every bulb in my car. You don't have to remove the bumper for any of the bulbs.:biggrin:

Ditto that. The H4's are a PITA but the parkers are a snap. No need to remove a thing to change any of the bulbs - just got pop your hood and look FFS :)

[Chris07LB]

Why in the world would you think that????

Open your owners manual, it even shows there.

Pop your hood, and you will see the bulb socket right there.. twist it, and replace.

See post #51 and then #56.

[Chris07LB]

See post #51 and then #56.

Sometimes all it takes is a little motivation to look for yourself.. see how simple it was, after poping the hood and looking?

Glad you got them in.. night and day difference huh? :clap:

[IsLNdbOi]

Yeah, usually before doing even simple things like this, I look around for manuals, etc. that give me a clue of how to do it. This case was no different. Looked at the manual first and saw something about having to take the front bumper off.

I guess I should start doing it the opposite way from now on. :p

[Chris07LB]

No, you did right by looking into it first, but keep in mind, Toyota will make you think you need to do all those steps, just so you "think" you need to take it in, and have the dealer do it.

The manual though, does show just how easy it is to replace... Im talking about the manual in your glovebox, not a service manual.

[the_boss]

no wonder they charge for 2 hours if you ever go there for a bulb change! my father in law have a cady cts and to take the headlight off you need to take off the bumper:frown: he replaced his 2 headlight bulb, park light on the week end and it took them 3 hours! and he is working in the bodyshop environment:thumbup:

[fazali]

Are you still selling these LED bulbs for the license plate light?

Fazal

[brickhardmeat]

Go to HILEDS.com you need a 194 wedge, you'll have to buy a pair

[IsLNdbOi]

There was only one light to replace in my LB's license plate lighting.

Mine too, but HILEDS sells in pairs.:rolleyes:

Oh right. Completely forgot that they come in pairs. :p

Nope, these "parking" lights do not exist in the sedan, at least not North American spec.

I'm looking forward to replacing the turn signals in the taillight assemblies..that yellow bulb looks like azz during the day. :biggrin:

[vacantj]

I changed them out for some bulbs from xenonmods.com and the silver silver marker bulbs look sweet - I can post a picture but till next weekend...
