Edit - shipping details in this post


Ok well for everyone who has been on Brian_J's thread following his T10 bulbs for sale in NZ and it raising lots of intrest for a GroupBuy in NZ, I've been contacting Ross from GreenLaser and he is willing to do us from the club a discounted rate for the parklights.

He currently has these 6LED bulbs in stock, but will be recieving a new shipment of better bulbs soon. (More info to follow)

Please post in here if your interested in buying a pair (less then $15 shipped to your door) and also what colour you want, choices from Super White, Blue, Green or Red.
(Blue, Green and Red are not for road use as park lights, i.e. they're illegal.)

The amount of intrested buyers will depict the discounted rate we will get so if your interested, please PM me or post in here, will PM all buyers payment details when its all sorted out.

Will post pics of mine when I recieve them :D .

I was hoping to get some of these ones:

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/M...on-61457992.htm (Sorry if the link doesn't work, not quite sure how to do that yet...)

The ones you're looking at are just a point of light where these ones light up the whole housing, I just think they look better...

This guy has 4 sets to sell at $15/pair, didn't get a chance to ask him if he'd do a discount for buying the whole lot at once though.

Does anyone know where else we might find this style?

Rapt = Ross (GreenLaser) :lol:

The new ones that Ross was describing to me are exactly the same as the one in your picture, except with MORE LEDs (as in they light the whole unit rather then point a single beam) and he is sending me them instead (without the payment difference).

Will post pics on Wed/Thurs when I recieve them.

Of course. :P

You'd be surprised at the stuff we've covered before...

Anywho, for those not bothering to read back, here's a key point - the directionality of LEDs and the way they mount in our park housings. VERY bright when you're 40 deg off to the side of the car, but rather dull from straight in front.

As modelled by mine, these are the 6 LED ones as in the first post of this thread
i.e. http://www.greenlaser.co.nz/pics/parkmulti.jpg

This may be different with the 'new' LEDs we're discussing here tho...

I have the "new" style lights in super white as per that TradeMe link from jeremyflower.

They are really good, light up the whole light housing and provide a nice white/blue glow in the dark.

Unfortunately because of the position of the park light and the fact that I have eyelids, some of the light from the "high flux LED" is blocked. Something to consider.

In daylight you can't really see the light, not sure if it's because of the eyelids or because of the type/brightness of the light.

I'll try and get a photo up for you guys...

Ok well the first thing I realised about them were that they are NOT directional as jasestu posted on his ones, they seem to shine from every angle :D .

Ross managed to change my order to the SuperWhite bulbs so that they are legal :P .

I'm having problems posting pictures at the moment as I dont have access to a computer and an E-Cafe is my only way to get onto here. Will find a way around this however and post pics from all algles of the car.

Very happy with them :D .

Now just need SuperWhite headlights and spots to finish off the front haha.

Well here are the LEDs, as you can see, they are not the conventional LED fronts, they diffuse better into the headlamp and are slightly brighter (apparently, can't comment on this myself as I've never had other ones).

Posted Image

As Jasestu has comment, all other LEDs seem to be directional and only shine at a 40degree angle from the car. Here are some pictures of them on my car taken with my phone :lol:.
As you can see it doesn't matter what angle you're on, still seems to shine up bright.

For this groupbuy I'm thinking it would be easier if we all individually paid Ross himself when its a go, and that way it can all be shipped to our front door steps.

Will give it till the end of the month to see how many members are keen for a set so Ross can sort out a good discount for us all :D .

(nice contrast with my stock fog lamps. The LEDs are the Superwhite bulbs)

The new toy!
[ *  *  *  * ]
They are great bulbs and I have purchased both Super White and Blue from Ross (rapt). I have had to get both replaced as the heat from the headlights keep frying the LED's. I now have the new design of the Super White which has 1 central LED and the other LED's are side facing. Gives a good wide angle dispersion of light. Depends what you want I guess.

Cool, intrest noted.

I'm getting blue for my numberplate lights :P .

The G/B will start to kick off soon (early next month), pricing is being finalised now and payment/shipping details are being discussed.

Keep posted for all details, when everything is finalised, I will PM everyone the specific details.
