Pacific Mall?

Auto City at First Markham Place has a lot of stuff. Got DRL LEDs and a lot of wedge lights there for both my cars. He replaces defects without argument, so that's a plus.

For turn signals you can get regular and switchbacks from Nextmod in Markham.
The electronic flasher module is <$10 on eBay.

Forget about all this...you can get all the LED lights for the BRZ and FR-S directly from Deal Extreme - www.dx.com.

They have all the bulbs, free shipping and will cost you a quarter what it would at a local store. If you want to know which bulbs go where and what the best ones are to buy I can put together a list of what I used and where, how many etc.

They also sell kits on eBay for these cars with the bulbs assembled for convenience. Do not buy this, I did and returned it. They give you crappy low emitting LED's and charge more.

Well shit... now we know where all our LED vendors are getting their lights and how much they're marking them up by. I used to buy stuff from DealExtreme; anything made in china can usually be bought directly from them. I've bought Nintendo DS chip cards, Nintendo DS replacement parts, Sony PSP replacement parts etc... I can't believe I didn't check them out for LEDS. I feel like a bit of a schmuck for buying these LEDs for $45 as a part of a "group buy" on these forums.

These two sets look very familiar...

jjker, you should make a general post on the lighting section of the forum. It would be a great service to the general FT86 community.

Hey Aznek, thanks for the suggestion. I did make a list on a new thread here. Thanks!

Switchback led, how much would it be in Nextmod?

Reasonable as I recall last year. And everything worked!

[wparsons]

I have a set of switchback bulbs for the front I'm looking to sell. They were $45 new, in the car for about two weeks, make an offer. No relay included, so you would need one (or resistors) so it flashes at normal speed.

I'm selling because they behave differently than I thought I was getting. These bulbs flash white/amber when the lights are on, not off/amber like most do. I bought them from Concept3 LED without paying full attention to the ad, totally my fault.

[wbradley]

Wparsons- you are correct regarding the flashers when the lights are on for the switchbacks. Buyer beware, they are probably less safe. I still feel ok about mine.

[wparsons]

The new bulbs I got flash how I wanted, and fit into the housings without trimming anything.

So they flash amber only even when the parking lights are on (cutting out the white LEDs during the flash)?
