reverse light : 7440-xLX3 Luxeon LED bulb
Seventh item from the bottom (page one)

map light / glove box light : WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED bulb
Last item on the page (page one)

dome light / trunk light : 3022-x9 LED Festoon bulb
Fifteenth item from the top (page two)

I hope that helps

Thanks a ton Jam_asian. I'm probably going to order up these bulbs tonight (I'm at work right now). I do have a question though. Did you use any other light covers after you installed the new bulbs? Or did you just take them off and leave them off?

Thanks again!

Thanks, they have them in a brighter white then stock also correct?

Yea I do believe they have them in white leds as well

Nope, I just took off the covers and put them back when I changed the bulbs.

Anyone know on http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi?product=CAR
if they have the license plate ones, i see that a guy on ebay has 9 led license plate ones, that would finish your car off nice JAM Asian.

the rear ones 24.95??? and we need 2 but man i cant see @### thru my tint when backing up at night, those look way brighter then stocck, they as bright as they look, cause it looks sick.

Thanks for the part finding, got my cart loaded just need to know about the license plate or if we need 2 back up lights, im pretty sure we do.

I think there's probably 2 other options for the reverse light, cheaper too, but honestly the reverse lights only seem brighter, when I'm backing up I cant see crap through my 16% tints now, before with the stockers it was fine. I guess because the lights are not directed in on direction. But like you said, they're there to look good lol

As for the back up lights, it doesnt matter if you want to change them out or not, and for the license plate lights, I think you have to use TWO WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED bulbs (white)

What do you think the best way to make the Reverse Lights brighter for us dark tinted folks. Yeah they look brighter then stock but I wouldn't go lighter, I can't see out back when its dark worth @$%^&. Care 2 share your other ideas on Reverese lights? Like I said I'm looking for something really bright but not so much as too burn. Hmmm

hmmmmmmmmmmmm why dont you try some HID reverse lights LOL
now that would be bad a$$

 

[sierra248]

That actually would be pretty sweet huh, stop me from running over any more of my pets...I tell them its heavier under the tires then they think but none of them ever listens.

lol, hey i thin kit could work retrofit lol
btw you mind me asking where in florida are you located?

 

[sierra248]

North Tampa area

 

[jam_asian85]

oh thats kinda far from where I am, just thought that if you were in south florida I'd show you how it looks in person before you make any purchases

 

[RelliMS3]

does anyone else have pics of the interior lights. i want to get a better idea of what its like.

 

[dirtyd]

I just installed the same blue lights as Jam_Asian. I gotta say it looks pretty sweet. Only took me about 10 minutes to install and is a very cheap mod. After shipping, total cost came to $26. I should also say, I bought an extra light of each just in case...I'll try to take some pictures tonight and post them for ya.

 

[jam_asian85]

sounds great, glad that you like them

Are all of the LED replacements just plug and play? Or is there any kind of crazy wiring/converting needed? I am specifically interested in replacing the reverse lights, the license plate lights, and the interior dome lights (maybe more if I really like it).
Has any body gone behind the dash and replaced the cluster lights and/or the stereo/display lights? Is this even possible? If you've done it can you post pics please? Thanks in advance!

 

[sierra248]

I'm pretty sure that there just PnP. For you guys who have replaced em, For purely functional reasons would you recommend the white? The colors are cool and all but a tad ricey for an old guy like me. (Not ragging on anyone, I think the blue looks cool as hell) Just think it might be anoying if your using maps and such while driving. Any thoughts?

yup you pretty much just pull them out and replace them with the leds, no wiring need, as for the dash and the clusters not too sure but I think I've seen it on another forum before and i think you need to solder the leds in for the cluster lighting

yea the blue lights look clue but functionally its blah lol,
go for whatever you want sir, (dance) if you want to get the white do it, you could just order 2 white leds for the map lights test them out and if you dont like them, then just put back the stockers, its only like 5 bucks and takes about 3 days to be shipped pending on where you're located

 

[sierra248]

Very good point.

 

[jam_asian85]

I did a quick How-To, just for those who dont know how to change out the light in the glove box and extras

 

[euhero987]
