Hi 6gc
I want to change the stock bulbs in the indicator lights, tail light and tail fog light. I've got 100% stock lights on my Celica which means that the lenses are coloured - orange lenses on indicators and red lenses on the rear light. So I'm not sure whether I should buy white LED's or orange and red LED's? I'm afraid that the light will be TOO light with white LED's and too dark with coloured LED's. Does anyone know if the bulbs are plain white or coloured stock? I haven't had the time to look for myself yet so if anyone knows it would be much appreciated :-) Looking forward to some great answers :-) Greetings from Denmark |

Definitely buy white once. Also I would not be afraid of brightness at all. Anyway if you still want "less bright" LEDs look after "warm white" shade (not usual "bright white" shade). It is because that "warm white" is more close to common bulb color (because it is slightly yellow). As an example see this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/330640023834 ...it is "warm white" LED replacement of W5W bulb. Only issue is they are bit harder to find. -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)

don't buy white bulbs.. buy bulbs that are the color of the lenses (orange for indicators, red for tails)
