Hey all, one of my front parker lights blew

Ive been using leds for around 2 years now.
Most brands usually lasted around 3-4months but then the ones ive bought from rupe hasnt blown yet!but leds give u that ultra bright hidish look..which wouldnt match up with ur stock headlights. |

yeah, i know what you mean by the colour temperature
of stock headlights. Might have to replace the stock headlight bulbs with HIDs "accidently" when the blow :P hmm... have to see what Rupe has to offer if at all now. LEDs however shouldn't blow after 3-4 months unless they're pulling too much current. |

Hey Rupe !!
I gotta thank you man !!! You made my day absolutely complete !!! I got home, and forgot my keys at work. Got pissed off and decided to go down to the pub. Just about to take off when the post-man came through. The LEDs arrived !! YAY !! Whacked 'em in and WOOTO !! I changed my view of things and shot down to the pub to celebrate. A picture and tells a thousand words my man !! apologies for the bad 1.3MP phone camera work... and then at the pub... biggest win yet from a $100 |

karma hits hard my friend...
This morning, i tripped over my 2nd step out of bed. flat on my face... last step down the stairs I slipped and hit the tiles hard. 10min later I was backing out of a parking spot and hit someone doing a U-turn... ARGH !!! Then at work I killed two 'Golden Boards' which were meant to be used as reference boards during production in China. Somehow had typed in that $500,000.00 had to be paid to a vendor, then was almost in 2 accidents from idiots on the road on the way home... So much for luck... |
