These look awesome!! I had some in my S6, but they kept fooling my system. I dont want to put in resistors!! Plus the haziness of the lenses make ithard for the xenons to show thru. I want LEDS!! haahh

So which is better in your opinions, the LED or the Xenon lights? I know it may just be a function of the camera, but i feel like the LED lights would give more of a hotspot or spotlight then the xenon lights would.

for the plate lights led is way better then xenon. A xenon light is just the bulb coated blue and the led it actually a true white. I purchased the 9led ones from autoillumination and its plenty bright. The pic above is my first leds which were 6. They make all sorts of led bulbs now with the leds completly surrounding the entire bulb. U might pay a little more but the light output is fantastic. The only way i would suggest gettin xenon is maybe for the interior lights but even like that leds are better and never get hot either.

keith,
I bought a set of leds for my 07 s6, I first tried my license plate lights, and they wouldnt work. They kept flickering and the car kept thinking they were blown out. Is there a way to install these bulbs without having to put in resistors?!? Very disappointing!!

Just want to know how most people do it.

Also, how do you get into the front and rear light housings? I want to take out the front corner orange bulbs and replace it...I cant seem to find out how to get to them
