How-To: LED Interior / Reverse / Licence plate lights

[DaleNixon]

I'm not sure.

Did anybody wonder what size the rear blinkers are in LED form?

 

[DaleNixon]

Ok so I did this. It looks awesome! I can't believe how much the license plate is lit up with the WLEDx6 lights. It almost looks like an underglow kit. Might be too rice for my taste. I love the gorgeous interior light though!

Cheaper in price and good quality bulbs, I've ordered bulbs from superbrightleds for 3 cars now. Cant speak of the quality of dabears2k because I dont have the product.

Agree about the license plate -- if I did it over again I'd go with WLEDX5 for the plates.

So then what's the current status on the light bulbs that should be used?

If I were to do it again I'd use the bulbs listed on the first post but use X5 instead of X6 for the license plate. I did not do the glove box or reverse lights so I can't speak to those.

 

[CWPspeed3]

I did the x5 wide bulbs for the maps and trunk and they look great, the map and trunk light arent the cool white they are just white so it isnt quite the same.

 

[my3needsaname]

Alright, alright, I want to do this but I just can't seem to justify buying the lights when mine aren't burnt out so most definitely sometime in the future.

 

[DaleNixon]

Yours will probably never burn out. Just FYI.

I think I'm gonna order a set for my wife's civic as well. Then I'll give her my WLEDx6 license plate lights and put the 5 LED's on.

I was wondering about that too, other than I think led's there would blind you and be useless it would look cool. I think it looks like the 74-x Wedge Base bulb but im not 100% sure.

 

[mrjoshyman]

i prefer the color light that comes out of the LEDs better. It seems like the lense on the vanity mirrors will diffuse some of the brightness, like the dome light...whereas I often find myself getting blinded by the map lights since the lense is just a clear piece of plastic
