The power draw on those are 30mA, which is 10mA (33%) higher than the Radio Shack ones we're using. But it's also brighter as well. Considering the current that runs through the eyebrow is 2.1w, you should be okay. Realistically, heat shouldn't be be too much of a factor.

I highly recommend the LEDs that TheRacerBoss has. He bought a huge quantity on some industrial site and may be able to sell you some & mail them across the pond to you. I used them in my eyebrow mod and they are the best thing about my entire headlight mod!I'd shoot him a PM to inquire about pricing and shipping info...

did you installed them directly on the amber plastic or you just did it on the headlight?

Ok, that sounds like an option, I will do that. Thanks.

Hey guys. just trying to get the right led's ordered up before I start the mod. ( great looking mid Eugene by the way).

I can't find any posts that show what style LEDs.

This is what I have worked out 4 pin super White led's
20ma led? led power?

Number of LEDs needed per side?
Has anyone opted for less led's and a few higher power led units under a combined load?

Answers would be greatly appreciated (uk based so led spec would be more helpful that just ask radioshack..)

4 pin led's on BMW's circuit is old school now.
Shoot me a PM and I might be able to help you out if your looking for something brighter like the above post talks about.

I am in N Ireland and I can confirm the RacerBoss is well worth a PM. He sent me his LEDs over. Yet to get them installed due to our crappy weather but the LEDS are second to none!
