Need p13w bulbs

[tyler20c]

I need a set of p13w bulbs, either new ones or the stock ones. I installed the aac LED's and all the led's fell off and they look horrible. Can anyone help me out?

Ummm AAC has lifetime warranty on all their stuff. So I'd suggest going to them. But that's just me.

my aac p13w had 6 leds out so i sent it in to them still waiting to get it back

Im just about to send mine as well. I believe when I talk to them they said they were out of stock, so im not sure how long they'll take to get back to you

yeah the person i spoke too said the same thing .. the website said ships 11/4 last time i checked .. i got a confirmation that my P13W was delivered so we'll see what happens

And just so all of you know, this will be a recurring event (due to PWM - Pulse Width Modulation of voltage supplied by the car) unless you dish out more $ for the Adaptive or Fieldgoal00 harness! This is according to AAC...

My last pair of AAC P13W LED bulbs lasted for 8-10 drives!!

Who told you this? The car uses a battery and it supplies DC; Direct Current, there's no pulse. These LEDs may need a voltage and/or current regulator but that's something AAC should have known and either included with their units or told the customer.

PWM is related to waveforms and frequencies, not battery power.

Direct from AAC themselves. Do a search on P13W. It is all over this board....

My first pair of P13's had problems with the LEDs going out, but ACC sent me new ones. Since then I installed the Fieldgoal00 harness, and just put back in the AAC P13 LED bulbs yesterday. The car does supply a pulse through the computer for the DRL's, and that is what causes the LEDs to burnout, LEDs falling off is a different problem. The new AAC P13 LED replacement bulbs come with a fix for the pulse, but since I already installed Fieldgoal00 harness I did not install them.

I will let you all know if I have any more problems with LEDs going out.

I payed the few extra bucks and put ther harness in. Really wasn't that big of a deal. Now if I could get the halos to match the HIDs

do you know what the fix is?

I just got a set of p13w from AAC and there was no "fix" that came with mine... Im assuming this is sold seperately?

As stated, he used the harness from the forum user "fieldgoal00". There is also one from Adaptive Performance. They are vastly different in their approach and costs. Do a search for them and get a beer while you read it all....

Without one of these to run interference on the constantly changing voltage signal they will continue to burn out. Been there done that.

AAC's current approach is to have you tap in to the parking light circuit (the two taps are included) and CUT the current power wire to your DRL's.

Someone please correct me on this if you know forsure.

My understanding is that with the Adaptive harness, you will still experience the LED pulse issues because it is basically just a harness between the stock harness rewired to have the DRLs on constantly.

With the field goal harness, you get a 12V source from the fusebox, but only when running with either the halos or headlights on. Otherwise, when just running the DRLs, you still get the 'pulse' power. I questioned fieldgoal on this, and I'm almost sure that is what he told me.

I have the fieldgoal wired harness and although the harness itself seems to work great, my drivers side AAC Pw13 bulb seems to be going out. The other day I looked at it, and two rows of LEDs were out. Drove it around, and a different row was out. Next day I drove it, and all were working, so not sure what to take from that lol.
